Binance to Add CHIP Across Simple Earn, Buy Crypto, Convert, Margin and Futures on April 21, 2026
According to Binance’s official announcement, CHIP support will extend across multiple products, and the CHIPUSDT U-margined perpetual will move from pre-market to standard futures trading on April 21, 2026.
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.
Binance announced in an official statement that it will add support for Chip (CHIP) across Earn, Buy Crypto, Convert, VIP Loan, Margin and Futures on April 21, 2026. The exchange said CHIP flexible products on Simple Earn will open for subscription at 13:30 UTC, while CHIP will also be enabled in Buy Crypto, Convert, VIP Loan and portfolio margin. Binance further stated that margin trading will be available for the CHIP/USDT and CHIP/USDC pairs, and that the CHIPUSDT U-margined perpetual contract will transition from pre-market to standard trading at 21:30 UTC+8 on April 21, 2026, with a transition period of up to three hours.
