Coinbase is tightening the price increments on its VARA-USD trading pair, shifting the quote precision from 0.00001 to 0.0000001. The change takes effect on June 24.
For a token trading at roughly $0.00052, those two extra decimal places matter more than they might sound. They let traders place orders at far more specific price points, which is the kind of infrastructure tweak that separates a functional order book from a messy one.
What the precision change actually means
At a price of $0.00052, the old increment of 0.00001 meant the smallest possible price movement represented nearly a 2% change. The new increment of 0.0000001 shrinks that minimum tick size by a factor of 100, bringing the smallest possible price movement down to about 0.02%.
This isn’t Coinbase picking favorites. The exchange has made similar adjustments for other low-priced tokens, including a previous quote increment change on its DRIFT-USD pair.
