In a significant development for the cryptocurrency trading community, Binance Futures has announced the launch of a new USDⓈ-Margined FIDA/USDT Perpetual Contract. The new contract will be available starting September 19, 2024, at 12:30 UTC, and will offer leverage of up to 75x, according to Binance.

New Trading Opportunities

This launch aims to expand the array of trading options available on Binance Futures, thereby enhancing the overall trading experience for users. The FIDA/USDT Perpetual Contract will allow traders to speculate on the future price movements of the FIDA token against USDT, providing a versatile tool for both hedging and speculative strategies.

Contract Specifications

Key details about the new contract include a maximum funding rate of +2.00% / -2.00% at the time of launch. The funding fee will be settled every four hours. Binance has also indicated that the specifications for this futures contract, such as funding fee, tick size, maximum leverage, initial margin, and maintenance margin requirements, may be adjusted based on market risk conditions.

Multi-Assets Mode

Another notable feature is the Multi-Assets Mode, which allows users to trade this perpetual contract across multiple margin assets. For example, when this mode is activated, users can use BTC as margin when trading the FIDA/USDT Perpetual Contract. This offers greater flexibility for traders who hold diverse portfolios.

Compliance and Risk Management

The new contract will be subject to Binance’s Terms of Use and the Binance Futures Service Agreement. Binance has also advised users to consult the original English version of announcements for the most accurate information, noting that there may be discrepancies in translated versions.

Binance has reiterated the importance of understanding the risks associated with futures trading. The platform emphasized that futures trading is subject to high market risk and price volatility, and traders may be required to make additional margin deposits or interest payments at short notice.
