Binance Futures Introduces BANUSDT and AKTUSDT Contracts with 75x Leverage

In a strategic move to enhance its trading offerings, Binance Futures is set to introduce USDⓈ-margined BANUSDT and AKTUSDT perpetual contracts, providing traders with leverage options of up to 75x. This development was announced by Binance and is scheduled to go live on November 18, 2024, at 11:30 (UTC).

Details of the New Contracts

The addition of these perpetual contracts is part of Binance’s ongoing efforts to expand its trading options and improve the user trading experience. The BANUSDT contract represents the Comedian (BAN) token, while the AKTUSDT contract is linked to the Akash Network (AKT) token. Both contracts have been verified with their respective contract addresses provided by Binance.

Leverage and Funding Rates

Traders will benefit from a maximum leverage of 75x, allowing for significant exposure with relatively small capital. The maximum funding rate at launch is set at +2.00% / -2.00%, with funding fees settled every four hours. Binance has also indicated that it may adjust the contract specifications based on market conditions, affecting the funding fee, tick size, maximum leverage, and margin requirements.

Multi-Assets Mode and Risk Management

Binance offers a Multi-Assets Mode, enabling traders to use various margin assets, such as BTC, when engaging with these perpetual contracts. This feature is subject to applicable haircuts, providing flexibility and allowing for diversified margin management. Additionally, the contracts are governed by Binance’s Terms of Use and Futures Service Agreement.
