Binance Adds Five USDT‑Margined TradFi Perpetuals with Up to 20x Leverage

Binance Futures introduced five new USDT‑margined perpetual contracts on August 25, giving eligible traders leveraged exposure to U.S. equities and leveraged exchange‑traded funds (ETFs). The contracts trade continuously, settle in USDT and provide up to 20× leverage.

Contracts and Underlying Instruments

• DJTUSDT – tracks Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT)
• MRNAUSDT – tracks Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA)
• SKUUUSDT – references the GraniteShares 2× Long SK Hynix Daily ETF (NASDAQ)
• SKDDUSDT – references the GraniteShares 2× Short SK Hynix Daily ETF (NASDAQ)
• RAMUSDT – references the Roundhill T‑REX 2× Long DRAM Daily Target ETF (CBOE BZX)

Key Features

• Leverage: up to 20× per contract
• Settlement: USDT, no stock ownership, voting rights, or dividends
• Minimum trade: 0.01 units, at least 5 USDT notional
• Funding: payments every eight hours, rate cap ±2%
• Trading hours: 24/7, with price divergence possible when underlying markets are closed

Risk Considerations

The contracts are built on leveraged ETFs that already amplify daily returns. Adding up to 20× leverage creates a second layer of exposure, increasing the potential for rapid profit or loss. Small adverse price moves can trigger liquidation if margin is insufficient. Because the contracts trade continuously, prices may diverge from the underlying securities when Nasdaq or CBOE are closed.

Regulatory and Operational Details

The products are listed on Binance’s RIE exchange and cleared through Binance RCH, both recognized by the Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority. Availability varies by user location and applicable restrictions.
