Binance Futures to Launch 7 New Futures Contracts

<a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/exchanges/binance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Binance </a>Futures is launching seven new perpetual futures contracts. The contracts will go live on July 9, 2026, starting at 17:00 Türkiye time, with each contract opening at five-minute intervals.The list is as follows: BOTUSDT (RoboStrategy Inc.), WENUSDT (Wendy’s Company), INTWUSDT (GraniteShares 2x Long INTC Daily ETF), SNXXUSDT (Tradr 2X Long SNDK Daily ETF), XBIUSDT (SPDR S&P Biotech ETF), BNCUSDT (CEA Industries Inc.) and FWDIUSDT (Forward Industries Inc.). The opening times are 17:00, 17:05, 17:10, 17:15, 17:20, 17:25 and 17:30 Türkiye time, respectively.Some of the contracts directly track stock prices: BOT, WEN, XBI, BNC and FWDI. Others are based on leveraged ETFs. INTWUSDT tracks the GraniteShares ETF that provides 2x daily long exposure to Intel shares. SNXXUSDT is based on a Tradr product that offers similar 2x leveraged exposure to Sandisk shares. XBIUSDT is built on the SPDR ETF tracking the biotechnology segment of the S&P Total Market Index, meaning it represents a sector-wide basket rather than a single company.The other names on the list also represent different sectors. CEA Industries is a small-cap industrial company operating in compressed air and gas technologies. Forward Industries is known for carrying solutions and accessory manufacturing. RoboStrategy is positioned as a robotics and automation-themed investment vehicle. The addition of niche-sector companies alongside more familiar names such as Wendy’s and XBI shows that Binance is not limiting its futures product range to large companies only.All contracts use USDT as the margin asset, with a minimum order size of $5. The tick size is 0.01 for BOT, WEN, INTW, SNXX and XBI, while it is 0.001 for BNC and FWDI. Leverage goes up to 25x for the first five contracts, while BNC and FWDI are limited to 10x. This difference is likely related to the trading volume and price volatility of the two assets. Binance generally sets more cautious leverage caps for assets with relatively lower liquidity or higher volatility.The funding rate is calculated every eight hours and has a cap of plus or minus 2%. In perpetual contracts, the funding rate is a fee exchanged between long and short positions to keep the futures price close to the spot price. If the rate is positive, long position holders pay shorts. If it is negative, the opposite happens.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Seven Contracts Exempt From Eight-Hour Funding Interval Adjustment</h2>One exception stands out. Binance normally shortens the eight-hour funding interval to one hour when the funding rate repeatedly hits the upper or lower cap. This mechanism is designed to curb excessive one-sided positioning. However, these seven contracts have been exempted from that rule, meaning the interval will remain fixed even under extreme funding conditions. In practice, this means that even if the market becomes heavily positioned in one direction, the funding cost will be calculated less frequently rather than every hour. This increases cost predictability for both long and short sides, while also allowing price deviations to last slightly longer.All contracts support multi-assets mode, meaning users can combine different collateral assets in a single margin pool. The contracts trade 24/7, just like other crypto futures products. This means users can open positions through these stock-linked contracts even when U.S. stock markets are closed.

Hyundai Tests Stablecoin Transfers With Tether and Avalanche

Hyundai Card has completed the first phase of a cross-border stablecoin remittance test carried out in cooperation with Tether and <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/avax" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Avalanche</a>. According to the announcement made on Thursday, the test was not conducted on paper. It involved a real money transfer between Hyundai Motor’s U.S. and Mexico units.Hyundai Motor America converted a $20,000 amount into USDT on the Avalanche network. The amount was then sent to the Mexico office and converted back into dollars there. The transaction took about seven minutes. The same transfer would take three to four hours if processed through traditional interbank channels.In traditional cross-border transfers, this delay is usually caused by the transaction passing through multiple intermediary banks. Each intermediary bank carries out its own control and settlement process, which extends the total transfer time. In a stablecoin-based transfer, the number of intermediaries decreases because the transaction takes place directly on the blockchain.Hyundai Card emphasized that the test was not a theoretical trial and was designed around a real settlement need between the company’s overseas units. The company handled the regulatory review, legal and tax checks, and the design of the remittance structure itself. Blockchain payment infrastructure company Axiym also took part in the process.Hyundai Card is one of South Korea’s leading credit card companies and operates under Hyundai Motor Group. The company’s test came at a time when Korean financial institutions are increasing their experiments with blockchain infrastructure. As a similar example, KB Card had also carried out a stablecoin-focused project with Avalanche in recent months.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Second Test in Europe</h2>Hyundai will launch a second test between its European units later this month. Visa and USDC issuer Circle will also participate in this round.In the second test, real stablecoin transfers will be tested using various local currencies besides the dollar. The goal is to see how much cost advantage stablecoin-based money transfers can provide.While USDT and the Avalanche network were preferred in the first test, the involvement of Circle’s USDC and Visa’s payment infrastructure in the second phase shows that Hyundai Card wants to test different stablecoin and network combinations. This will allow the company to compare which infrastructure is more suitable at an institutional scale using its own data.Institutional stablecoin use has recently attracted growing interest in sectors such as automotive, retail and logistics. For companies, the main appeal is cost as much as speed. In the traditional banking system, commissions and foreign exchange costs can accumulate even in intra-group transfers. Hyundai Card’s two-phase test approach aims to measure these costs with concrete data.The company will decide in the coming period whether to open stablecoin-based payment infrastructure to broader use based on the results of the PoC process.

BNB Chain Builds Its Fourth Chain for Artificial Intelligence Trading

<a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/chains/binance-smart-chain" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">BNB Chain </a>is working on a new layer-1 blockchain designed for agent-based trading and transactions. The project aims to bring transaction pre-confirmation below 50 milliseconds and make front-running attacks harder by operating without a public mempool.The new chain will run alongside the existing BNB Chain infrastructure. According to The Block, the project is part of a technical roadmap covering the second half of 2026. It has been under development for months and is now being shared in this level of detail for the first time. The testnet is planned for the end of 2026, while the mainnet is expected to go live in the first months of 2027.The goal of the project is to offer an experience close to centralized exchanges while allowing users to retain control of their own assets when trading on a decentralized platform.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">The Gap With Centralized Exchanges Is Not Closing, but It Is Narrowing</h2>BNB Chain Chief Technology Officer David Z said a centralized matching engine can operate within microseconds, but no real-world trader actually feels that speed. According to him, round-trip times for co-located market makers remain in the single-digit millisecond range, while the delay is even longer for other users. A pre-confirmation time below 50 milliseconds matches the range that a typical exchange user actually experiences.Z acknowledged that centralized exchanges still lead in co-located high-frequency trading. “For co-located HFT, CEX still wins today. For everyone else, this is a CEX-like experience without custody risk,” he said.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Mempool-Free Architecture</h2>A feature called TxStream routes transactions directly to the block leader instead of sending them to a public mempool. According to Z, this removes the window in which an attacker could see a pending transaction and build a sandwich attack around it, because ordering is locked before the transaction becomes publicly known.This design raises the question of whether the block leader itself creates a monopoly or censorship risk. Z said validators rotate every 200 milliseconds and that this period is not long enough for any validator to build a business around its position. “TxStream does not eliminate MEV. Nothing can. It makes the dominant attack types practically ineffective,” he said.A second component called PriorityLane reserves block space for oracle, liquidation and bridge transactions through an on-chain managed mechanism.BNB Chain said it is targeting more than 100,000 transactions per second and sub-second block finality through jointly optimized consensus, parallel execution and LtHash-based storage. These figures are still targets for a chain that has not yet reached testnet.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">The Bottleneck Is in the Execution Layer</h2>Z said the performance gap is not in consensus or storage, but in the execution layer. He noted that popular smart contracts, such as a DEX swap or a token transfer, repeat the same operations millions of times. As a solution, the team is highlighting just-in-time compilation, known as JIT, and strength reduction methods, techniques that have been used in software development for decades.Regarding the risk that the new chain could split liquidity with BSC, Z said an official native bridge will connect it to BSC, that BSC will remain the settlement hub, and that BNB will function as a unified asset across all chains. The new chain will become the fourth member of the BNB Chain family after BNB Smart Chain, opBNB and Greenfield.The roadmap comes amid a broader competitive landscape in which projects such as Solana’s Firedancer, Monad and MegaETH are also trying to overcome execution-layer bottlenecks.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Quantum Security and H1 Data</h2>BNB Chain is also running quantum-resistant security tests. Instead of replacing existing cryptography, the project is following a hybrid approach that adds a post-quantum protection layer on top of it. Z said no one in the industry has a full quantum migration plan yet, and that BNB Chain is no exception. He added that the lattice-based LtHash structure used for chain state integrity is already post-quantum today.Updating the signature scheme without changing wallet addresses is a harder problem. Z described the “harvest-now-decrypt-later” scenario as an open issue for the entire industry. If the public key of any account has been exposed, that account could theoretically be at risk once a sufficiently powerful quantum computer emerges.The roadmap also included data on BNB Smart Chain’s performance in the first half of 2026. The block interval dropped to 450 milliseconds, while reference throughput nearly doubled to approximately 5,200 transactions per second.

Bitcoin Slips Slightly Ahead of Fed Minutes

The U.S. Federal Reserve will release the minutes of its June 16-17 meeting today, Wednesday, at 2:00 p.m. ET. For those expecting a rate hike in September, the text may offer less than they hope.Chair Kevin Warsh did not share his own rate projection during this period. The post-meeting statement was only 130 words long, and forward guidance was removed entirely. That leaves the minutes as the only detailed record available on the debate inside the committee.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">A committee split between hawks and doves</h2>The FOMC held rates steady at a range of 3.50% to 3.75% on June 17. It was the fourth consecutive hold. Nine of the 18 members projected at least one rate hike for 2026, while Warsh did not put forward his own forecast.The committee held this meeting before the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the June jobs report. The report showed only 57,000 new jobs, marking the weakest reading in four months. Any hawkish tone in the minutes may still reflect a labor market that looked strong at the time. The weaker picture emerged only days later.The CME FedWatch tool currently prices the probability of a September rate hike in the 50% to 55% range. Before the weak employment data, that probability stood at 66%. Warsh addressed the issue directly at his press conference. He said inflation had remained above the Fed’s 2% target for more than five years and that this was a burden for the American people, while also adding that the recent past does not have to determine the future.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Silence itself becomes the story</h2>Since taking office, Warsh has pushed for a simpler communication style. In his view, forward guidance makes the Fed more dependent on markets than on the data it is supposed to respond to.This preference makes Wednesday’s release unusually important, because there is no previous statement text to compare it with. Speaking at the Sintra forum in July, Warsh clarified his stance on inflation: investors should not expect the Fed under his leadership to become comfortable with inflation above 2%.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Bitcoin feels the weight of rate uncertainty</h2>Crypto markets are already reacting to this uncertainty. <a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/coin/btc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Bitcoin </a>recently slipped to $61,766, losing close to 1%. Ethereum, XRP and Solana also fell between 1% and 2.3%. <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/btcusdt-2026-07-08-12-25-52-a96543d3.webp" alt="BTCUSDT_2026-07-08_12-25-52.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> The sell-off is not driven by rate uncertainty alone. WTI crude futures rose more than 2% to $72.27, while the dollar index held above the 101 level. A stronger dollar and rising inflation expectations are pushing investors toward safer assets such as bonds, while drawing them away from riskier instruments like Bitcoin.If the minutes show how close the hawkish wing came to supporting a rate hike in June, this cautious mood in the crypto market may continue. Signals on the September rate decision will matter not only for bond and currency markets, but also for Bitcoin investors.A Fed led by a chair who prefers silence may leave both stock and crypto investors waiting for real clarity even after Wednesday.

Coinbase Suspends Trading for 5 Altcoins, Adds 1 Altcoin to Its Roadmap

Coinbase announced that it will suspend trading for IDEX, Loopring (LRC), Omni Network (OMNI), Pirate Nation (PIRATE), and StaFi (FIS). On the same day, the exchange added the GRVT token to its listing roadmap.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">Countdown Begins for Five Tokens</h2><a href="https://jrkripto.com/tr/exchanges/coinbase-exchange" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="text-primary underline">Coinbase </a>Markets will suspend spot trading for five assets on August 7, 2026, at around 2:00 p.m. ET. The exchange described the move as the result of a routine review, but did not specify which criteria each asset failed to meet. <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-07-08-103032-940bf4c0.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-07-08 103032.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> The market reaction was not evenly distributed. StaFi (FIS) and Pirate Nation (PIRATE) fell by more than 20%, while LRC and OMNI dropped between 10% and 15%. IDEX, however, did not see a sharp move. In low-volume tokens, it is not surprising that selling pressure is reflected in prices more quickly.There is also a separate detail on the Loopring side. Shortly before Coinbase’s announcement, the project shut down its own decentralized exchange, Loopring DEX, citing low usage. The two developments came back to back, and part of the decline in LRC likely stems from this.Coinbase stated that the suspended tokens will remain in users’ wallets and that withdrawals will not be blocked. Orders will move to limit-only mode: market orders will be disabled, users will only be able to place and cancel limit orders, and matching orders will still be executed.<h2 class="text-left text-foreground text-3xl font-bold mb-3 mt-1">GRVT Added to the Roadmap</h2>On the same day, Coinbase added the GRVT token to its official listing roadmap. GRVT is a hybrid derivatives exchange built on zkSync infrastructure, offering self-custody. It aims to combine the speed of a centralized exchange with the transparency of decentralized finance, while enabling trading without gas fees. <figure class="my-6"> <img src="https://minio-api-1.jrkripto.com/blog/ekran-g-r-nt-s-2026-07-08-102622-ec8d44a6.webp" alt="Ekran görüntüsü 2026-07-08 102622.png" width="auto" height="auto" class="w-full rounded-lg border" /> </figure> The GRVT token was launched after the second season ended in late June 2026. Its total supply is fixed at 1 billion tokens, while the community and airdrop allocation was increased to 28%. The token unlocks membership benefits such as trading fee discounts, margin efficiency, and priority access to investment vaults.The platform’s growth figures also appear to support the listing decision. During its second season, GRVT’s total value locked (TVL) rose from $11.3 million to $107.1 million, marking an 847% increase. Open interest climbed to $484.1 million, while cumulative two-sided trading volume reached $393 billion. In January 2026, monthly trading volume rose to $51.6 billion, while the number of active users increased by 76% to more than 10,000. This picture summarizes GRVT’s transformation from a niche perp DEX into a platform that caught Coinbase’s attention.Being added to the roadmap does not automatically mean a listing. However, GROVE, which was added to the same list last week, gained more than 25% after spot trading opened. A similar scenario is expected for GRVT.Coinbase also shared GRVT’s Ethereum network (ERC-20) contract address: 0xAD29F2723fcdBcF665F210F25E06f97477e417cF.
