Summary
Binance Futures added four perpetual futures contracts tied to traditional financial assets on October 26, 2026, according to the exchange's official announcement. The contracts, listed at five-minute intervals between 09:00 and 09:15 UTC, give eligible traders exposure to the iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (EIDO, NYSE Arca) and shares of EQT Corporation, STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) and AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV). Each contract is USDT-margined, supports maximum leverage of 20x, and trades outside conventional stock exchange hours, including weekends when U.S. exchanges are closed. Traders can take positions without owning the underlying shares.
The contracts share common specifications. Each has a minimum notional trade value of 5 USDT, a minimum order size of 0.01 units of the underlying instrument, and a tick size of 0.01. Multi-Assets Mode is supported. Funding payments settle every eight hours, with rates capped at plus or minus 2%. Binance said these contracts are exempt from its usual automatic adjustment of funding intervals when rates hit their limits, and that any move to hourly funding would require a separate announcement. The exchange noted that a 5% adverse price move at maximum leverage could theoretically exhaust initial margin before fees and maintenance margin are considered. Binance retains authority to revise leverage, margin requirements and other parameters under its exchange and clearing procedures. The notice identified Binance RIE as the trading venue and Binance RCH as the clearing entity, issued under Rules 75 and 89 of the Exchange Rules and Rule 76.6 of the Clearing Rules.
The listings extend a broader expansion of Binance's traditional-asset derivatives. In August 2026, the exchange introduced five stock-linked contracts covering Trump Media, Moderna and three semiconductor-focused leveraged ETFs, and in July it added perpetuals referencing the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF and long-duration U.S. Treasury funds. Market data cited in the article points to rapid growth in the category. CryptoQuant reported TradFi perpetual open interest exceeding $2 billion across major centralized exchanges in July, with Binance at approximately $720 million, ahead of Bybit and Gate at around $381 million each. Pyth Network reported record daily open interest of $12.61 billion across tracked real-world-asset perpetual markets on September 30, versus an August daily average of $10.45 billion, with September volume of $637.85 billion, of which equities made up 49.2% and commodities 31.4%.
Binance's announcement did not disclose trading volume or open interest attributable specifically to its TradFi perpetual contracts. The article also notes that the announcement does not establish that all Binance customers can trade the products, as access remains subject to regional restrictions.
