Binance will mandate the Self-Transaction Prevention (STP) feature for all Binance Options users starting at 14:00 (UTC+8) on March 19, 2026. This update will cover spot, margin, futures, and options trading on the Binance platform. The system update is expected to last for one hour to allow for a smooth transition. The STP (Send-to-Pay) feature aims to prevent API users from unintentionally executing self-trades, ensuring compliance and the integrity of market data, and saving users unnecessary transaction fees.

The STP feature automatically prevents the execution of orders that could lead to self-trades. Three STP modes are available, with EXPIRE_MAKER being the default STP mode for all Binance Options orders.
