The EPTUSDT Perpetual Contract will be settled in USDT, with a funding rate capped at +2.00%/-2.00%. Funding fees will be settled every four hours, and the contract will be available for trading 24/7.
Binance has stated that Multi-Assets Mode will be supported, allowing users to trade using various margin assets, including BTC, subject to applicable haircuts.
Market conditions may prompt Binance to adjust several parameters of the perpetual contract, including funding fees and leverage. Additionally, the contract will be available for Futures Copy Trading within 24 hours of its launch.
