Binance Futures announced it will launch new USDⓈ margin-based TradFi (traditional finance) perpetual contracts to expand its portfolio of products based on traditional financial assets. According to the announcement, six new futures contracts tracking Lumentum, Oracle, Walt Disney, Uber, Cisco, and Home Depot stocks will be gradually listed starting May 15, 2026.
The new contracts will be settled with USDT, and users will be able to use leverage up to 10x on these products. This move by Binance shows that crypto exchanges are opening up more space for derivative products that track stock prices, not just digital assets. Thus, users will be able to access price movements linked to traditional market stocks 24/7 through Binance Futures.
Six new TradFi contracts from Binance
According to the announcement, the first contract will be LITEUSDT. This product, tracking Lumentum Holdings shares, will open for trading on May 15th at 16:30 GMT+3. This will be followed by ORCLUSDT, based on Oracle shares, at 16:35 GMT+3, and DISUSDT, tracking Walt Disney shares, at 16:40 GMT+3.
The UBERUSDT contract, based on Uber Technologies shares, will open at 16:45 GMT+3, the CSCOUSDT contract, tracking Cisco Systems shares, at 16:50 GMT+3, and the HDUSDT contract, based on Home Depot shares, at 16:55 GMT+3 on Binance Futures. The maximum leverage for all contracts is set at 10x. These products do not directly represent the shares of the respective companies. Instead, they are offered as futures contracts tracking the price of the underlying assets. LITEUSDT tracks Lumentum Holdings shares traded on the Nasdaq; ORCLUSDT will track Oracle shares on the New York Stock Exchange; DISUSDT will track Walt Disney shares; UBERUSDT will track Uber Technologies shares; CSCOUSDT will track Cisco Systems shares on the Nasdaq; and HDUSDT will track Home Depot shares.
24/7 trading and multi-asset mode support
According to Binance's announcement, the minimum transaction amount for all new contracts will be 0.01. The minimum nominal value is set at 5 USDT. The tick size, or the smallest price movement, will be 0.01 for all contracts.
The funding fee will be calculated every eight hours. The upper and lower funding rate limits are +2.00% and -2.00%, respectively. Binance also stated that these contracts will be exempt from funding interval adjustment rules. Accordingly, even if the funding rate reaches the upper or lower limit in the previous calculation period, the funding interval will not be reduced from eight hours to one hour.
The new products will also have Multi-Assets Mode support. When this mode is activated, users will be able to trade with different collateral assets, subject to appropriate commission rates. Binance stated, for example, that users can use BTC as collateral in these contracts when multi-asset mode is enabled.
The boundary between TradeFi and crypto markets is narrowing
Binance Futures' new announcement coincides with a period in the crypto market where the theme of tokenization and access to traditional finance products is strengthening. Equity-based derivatives offer investors the opportunity to take positions on price movements outside of classic exchange hours. However, this structure also brings additional risks.
The use of leverage in futures contracts can amplify price movements on both the profit and loss sides. Therefore, Binance emphasized that it may make changes to contract features according to market risk conditions. The exchange stated that parameters such as funding fee, tick size, maximum leverage, initial margin, and maintenance margin may be updated from time to time.
The announcement also reminded users that products and services may not be available in all regions. Binance stated that in case of any discrepancies, this announcement should be considered the most current and valid source of information, rather than the relevant futures FAQ pages.
