Binance, continuing to increase its product diversity in the crypto derivatives market, has now turned its focus to traditional financial assets. The exchange announced it will list four new USDⓈ-margin perpetual futures contracts to offer users a wider range of trading options. According to the announcement, these products will be gradually launched on April 6, 2026.
The newly listed contracts include the index-based QQQUSDT and SPYUSDT contracts, and the equity-based AAPLUSDT and TSMUSDT contracts.
Index and Equity-Based Contracts Coming Soon
According to the planned schedule, the QQQUSDT contract will be launched on April 6 at 13:30 (UTC), SPYUSDT at 13:40, AAPLUSDT at 13:50, and TSMUSDT at 14:00. The maximum leverage ratio for all contracts is set at 10x.
The QQQUSDT contract is based on the Invesco QQQ Trust, which tracks the performance of the top 100 technology-focused companies traded on Nasdaq. SPYUSDT, on the other hand, is based on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, which tracks the S&P 500 index. Meanwhile, the AAPLUSDT and TSMUSDT contracts are designed to reflect the price movements of Apple and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company shares, respectively. All contracts will be settled in USDT and will offer standardized trading conditions such as a minimum trade amount of 0.01 and a minimum trade size of 5 USDT. In addition, the upper and lower limits of the funding rate are fixed at ±2%.
24/7 Trading and Flexible Collateral Model
Another noteworthy detail is that these contracts will be available for trading 24/7. Considering that traditional stock and ETF markets are limited to specific trading hours, this feature provides significant flexibility for users. Furthermore, Binance's Multi-Assets Mode system will also be active in these products. This will allow users to use not only USDT but also other assets such as BTC as collateral, subject to certain fees.
Funding fees will be calculated every eight hours, and the interest rate for these contracts will be 0%. The exchange also specifically emphasized that it reserves the right to change leverage ratios, collateral requirements, and other contract details depending on market conditions.
