PANews reported on December 11 that, according to The Block, Binance has launched a private IOI (Indication of Interest) feature, allowing institutional users to express their intention to make large transactions or loans of more than $200,000 through over-the-counter (OTC) services without publicly placing orders.

This feature supports spot and fixed-rate lending orders, visible only to the internal OTC team and matching parties, avoiding slippage and market disturbances, and improving institutional trading efficiency. Binance stated that this is the first exchange to introduce the traditional financial IOI mechanism to the crypto market, and API submissions will be supported in the future.
