Listing Details: 8 U.S. Stock and ETF Perpetual Contracts
According to Techub News, Binance Futures plans to roll out eight USDⓈ-Margined traditional finance stock perpetual contracts in batches on July 2, 2026. The list includes Strategy Inc Preferred Stock (STRUSDT), Caterpillar (CATUSDT), Texas Instruments (TXNUSDT), Flex (FLEXUSDT), Teradyne (TERUSDT), Take-Two Interactive (TTWOUSDT), KSTAR 50 ETF (KSTRUSDT), and Bending Spoons (BSPUSDT). All contracts use USDT as margin and settlement asset, with a minimum trading amount of 0.01 units and a minimum notional value of 5 USDT. The funding rate cap is set at ±2%.
Strategic Expansion: From Crypto to Traditional Finance Derivatives
This listing marks another significant step in Binance's ongoing expansion of its derivatives product suite. In recent years, Binance has added perpetual contracts for stocks such as Tesla, Coinbase, and MicroStrategy. Unlike direct purchase of U.S. stocks, users trading these stock perpetual contracts with USDT margin do not need to open a traditional securities account or adhere to U.S. stock trading hours. The contracts enable 7×24 two-way trading, providing a convenient on-chain alternative for global users, especially non-U.S. residents, to access the U.S. equity market.
Market Implications: The Convergence of Crypto Derivatives and Traditional Finance
The newly listed contracts span multiple sectors including semiconductors, industrials, gaming, biotech, and China's sci-tech innovation board, reflecting Binance's diversified approach to traditional finance assets. By introducing blue-chip stocks like Caterpillar and Texas Instruments along with emerging market index products such as the KSTAR 50 ETF, Binance further lowers the barrier for retail investors to participate in traditional finance trading. From a compliance perspective, these perpetual contracts use on-chain matching and settlement mechanisms while pegging their pricing to real-time quotes from traditional exchanges—preserving the flexibility of crypto assets while relying on the price discovery function of traditional finance. For traders, this provides an additional tool for hedging U.S. stock positions or speculating arbitrage opportunities, and is likely to accelerate similar product launches by competitors like Bybit and OKX.
