Binance Futures will apply latest price protection (LPP) to the TACUSDT USDT-margined perpetual contract at 19:00 on Aug. 27, 2026, after TAC Protocol experienced price deviations and other abnormal conditions across multiple centralized exchanges. Binance will phase in LPP through mark-price smoothing until TAC prices converge across exchanges and a stable spot-market index is available. On Aug. 28, Binance Futures will also launch five USDT-priced perpetual contracts on Binance RIE, with clearing and settlement by Binance RCH, tracking Tempus AI, Merck, IonQ, MARA Holdings and PDD Holdings. The contracts will launch between 09:00 and 09:20 UTC, support maximum leverage of 20x and trade 24/7 with eight-hour funding intervals.
