While one incident had occurred on Futures UM, overall, our monitoring system detected it automatically and immediately, which helped minimize the downtime.
At Binance, we understand that trust is built on transparency and performance. As part of our ongoing commitment to openness and continuous improvement, we’re sharing a detailed look at our API performance and system incidents for the first half of 2025. This report highlights how we’re working behind the scenes to ensure reliable, scalable, and stable services for our global user base – because innovation requires both consistency and openness.
H1 API Monitoring
Many of Binance's 280+ million users depend on our application programming interfaces (APIs) for key data such as price, depth, trading activity, and various other metrics vital for their market analysis and trading strategies. It is thus crucial that these data feeds remain consistently accessible to support the demands of the 24/7 cryptocurrency market.
The following chart shows how our systems performed in the first half of 2025, showcasing how we’re continuing to strengthen our infrastructure to meet the demands of the ever-evolving crypto landscape.
The documentation for the APIs presented in the table is available here. These APIs are mainly used for following real-time changes in the market, allowing traders and investors to track the latest prices and see historical trends for various assets and financial instruments.
The first half of 2025 saw Spot, Margin, and Futures CM maintain a 100% API uptime. Across all services, there was one incident which impacted some of our API endpoints during periods of unprecedented trading activity.
The incident took place in May, affecting Futures UM functions for placing orders for 45 minutes.

Uptime Calculation
We calculate the yearly uptime by dividing the number of hours our domains are up and running per year by 8,784 (the overall number of hours in a year) and multiply the resulting value by 100 to get the percentage.
In the first quarter of 2025 we had: 44,640 uptime minutes in January; 40,320 minutes in February; and 44,640 minutes in March, amounting to the overall 129,600 minutes in Q1. Since there have been no incidents in Q1, the uptime percentage calculation looks like this:
129,600 mins / 129,600 mins * 100 = 100%
In the second quarter of 2025 we had: 43,200 uptime minutes in April; 44,640 minutes in May; and 43,200 minutes in June, amounting to the overall 131,040 minutes in Q2. Accounting for the incident in May, which resulted in 45 minutes of partial downtime on some of our Futures UM API services (leaving us with 130,995 minutes of uptime), our uptime percentage calculation looks like this for Futures UM:
130,995 mins / 131,040 mins * 100 = 99.97%
