Maximum Order Size per Trade

Last updated: April 2, 2026

Although we do not impose a limit on deposits, we have limits for order sizes. This means that when you are placing either a market order or a limit order with Paxos, you need to keep in mind the following size limits per single order:

 

Placing an order from the Paxos Platform:

Asset  Market Order Limit Order
BTC $ 25,000 $ 1,500,000
ETH $ 25,000 $ 1,500,000
PAXG $ 25,000

$ 1,000,000

BCH, LTC $ 20,000 $ 1,000,000
MATIC, AAVE, UNI, LINK $ 20,000 $ 1,000,000
SOL $ 20,000 $ 1,000,000

Placing an order via API:

Asset  Market Order Limit Order
BTC, ETH $ 500,000 $ 1,500,000
BCH, LTC, PAXG, MATIC, AAVE, UNI, LINK, SOL $ 500,000 $ 1,000,000

 

Note: For a limit order, if you exceed the limit set for the order you are placing, you will receive the "NotionalValueTooLarge" error message as below:

In this case, you can contact our OTC desk to place a large order (steps here), or you can choose to re-try a smaller order size that is within the set limit for that particular asset and order type.
