Why do some crypto prices look different?

Some crypto assets have very small prices with many zeros after the decimal point. Showing these prices in full can make them difficult to read and understand.

To improve clarity, we’ve updated how very small prices are displayed, in line with common industry practice.

What’s changed?

Long strings of zeros after the decimal point are now shown in a compact format using a subscript.

For example:

0.000000001234 → 0.0₈1234

The subscript shows how many zeros appear after the decimal point before the first significant digit.

Does this affect pricing or trades?

No. This change is purely visual.

  • Prices remain fully accurate
  • No rounding or truncation is applied
  • Trading, execution, and outcomes are unchanged

In some cases, the same visual formatting may also be used for spreads, for consistency. This is a display-only change and does not affect how spreads are calculated or applied.
