Binance to Launch Six USDT-Margined Perpetual Contracts Tied to Stocks and ETF

Fact Check
The Odaily newsflash explicitly states a Binance Futures SLXUSDT perpetual contract launches on 2026-06-01 at 07:30 UTC with up to 20x leverage and USDT settlement, with Solstice (SLX) as underlying — matching the claim verbatim. WuBlockchain independently confirms the same launch at 15:30 UTC+8 (= 07:30 UTC) with 20x leverage. Both outlets reference the same official Binance announcement URL (which was CAPTCHA-gated in direct fetch but is consistently cited). MEXC's product page corroborates that Solstice (SLX) is an existing token. No conflicting evidence was found.
Summary

Binance announced that the ANTHROPICUSDT USDⓈ-M Futures Pre-IPO perpetual contract will begin trading on Binance RIE and clearing on Binance RCH on June 2, 2026 at 04:30 UTC. The contract is tied to Anthropic PBC, uses USDT as the settlement asset, supports up to 20x leverage, and sets a minimum trade amount of 0.01 ANTHROPIC with a 5 USDT minimum notional value. Binance said the contract references an estimated 1 billion shares, while warning that the opening price may trade above or below the assumed IPO price and that the actual share count may differ, with contract size subject to adjustment. During the Pre-IPO trading period, the funding rate is capped at 0.005% per funding interval every eight hours and includes a 0.015% daily interest rate. Binance also detailed a special mark price methodology before the IPO, a ±1% per-second mark price cap during Pre-IPO trading and transition, and said the contract will convert to a standard TradFi perpetual once an official IPO listing allows a stable price index to be derived from third-party data vendors.
