Binance to Add CHIP Across Simple Earn, Buy Crypto, Convert, Margin and Futures on April 21, 2026

Fact Check
The main supporting evidence is the Odaily newsflash "BitMart 合约将上线 ABTUSDT 、 PEPONUSDT 、 MAONUSDT," which matches the claim's specific contract symbols, date, time, and leverage. It also points to an official BitMart Zendesk article, suggesting an upstream official source exists. The Binance Square result provides secondary corroboration with the same details. However, the official BitMart page itself could not be fetched because of tool limits, and one supplied X link was actually unrelated Coinbase content, so direct primary-source confirmation was not completed in this run.

Terms & Concepts
  • Portfolio margin: A margin framework that evaluates the risk of a trader’s combined positions to set collateral requirements across the portfolio.
  • U-margined perpetual: A perpetual futures contract margined and settled in a quote asset such as USDT, rather than in the underlying token itself.
  • Pre-market: A trading phase before standard market status in which a contract may be available under separate conditions prior to full regular trading.
