Summary

Binance said it will launch the BTCUSD1 perpetual contract on May 18, 2026 at 09:00 UTC. The Bitcoin-based perpetual contract will be settled in USD1, offer up to 100x leverage, support Multi-Assets Mode, and add copy trading within 24 hours after launch. The older and newer topics appear to describe different Binance Futures listings rather than the same event: the newer topic instead reports FLNCUSDT, DRAMUSDT, and RKLBUSDT USDT-margined perpetual contracts tied to Fluence Energy, Roundhill Memory ETF, and Rocket Lab Corporation, with leverage of up to 10x for FLNCUSDT and RKLBUSDT and 20x for DRAMUSDT.

Terms & Concepts
  • Perpetual contract: A crypto derivative that has no expiration date, allowing traders to hold leveraged positions for as long as margin requirements are met.
  • Multi-Assets Mode: A margin feature that allows traders to use more than one asset as collateral for eligible futures positions.
  • Leverage: A trading mechanism that lets users control a larger position with less capital, increasing both potential gains and potential losses.
