RPI liquidity now available to API Taker orders

Bybit introduces Retail Price Improvement (RPI) liquidity for API Taker orders, enhancing trading experiences for systematic and institutional clients starting June 12, 2026.

In an exciting move for traders, Bybit has recently announced the availability of Retail Price Improvement (RPI) liquidity for API Taker orders, a shift that is poised to deliver enhanced trading experiences across its platforms. This update comes into effect on June 12, 2026 , at 10 AM UTC , giving systematic and institutional API clients a powerful advantage in both the Spot and Derivatives markets. What Does RPI Liquidity Mean for Traders? The extension of RPI liquidity allows API clients to access deeper and tighter liquidity, which is crucial for high-frequency traders and market makers. Previously, RPI Maker liquidity was limited to non-algorithmic taker flows. But with this update, OpenAPI orders can now match against RPI Maker liquidity, provided they enable the rpiTakerAccess=true setting. How Can Traders Benefit from This Update? Traders who opt-in can enjoy narrower spreads and larger resting sizes compared to standard order books. This increased liquidity ensures that executions happen more efficiently and at a potentially better price, especially for Immediate or Cancel (IOC) and Fill or Kill (FOK) orders. The update does not require any changes to existing API flows for most users; the default setting for new integrations remains rpiTakerAccess=false . Therefore, existing API integrations are unchanged unless traders choose to opt-in. What’s New in This Update? Access and Eligibility: RPI-enabled spot pairs and Linear and Inverse Perpetuals are part of this new setup, allowing greater flexibility with a single opt-in parameter applicable across all supported products. Execution Speed: For API orders with rpiTakerAccess=true , there is a slight execution delay of 50ms, ensuring that trades are processed at optimal pricing. Cancellations: Cancellations remain immediate, ensuring no interruptions in trading strategy. Order Types: All supported order types retain eligibility, with some limitations on market orders (IOC/FOK) for those using the OpenAPI with
