Additionally, Binance reserves the right to adjust these specifications, including the funding fee, tick size, maximum leverage, initial margin, and maintenance margin requirements, based on market risk conditions.

Multi-Assets Mode

The new contract will also be available under Binance’s Multi-Assets Mode, which allows users to trade futures contracts across multiple margin assets. For instance, traders can use Bitcoin (BTC) as margin when trading the TURBOUSDT Perpetual Contract, subject to applicable haircuts.

Terms and Conditions

Traders are advised to review the Binance Terms of Use and the Binance Futures Service Agreement. These documents outline the specific terms governing the new futures contract and ensure traders are aware of the associated risks.

Binance also warns that digital asset prices can be volatile, and futures trading involves significant market risk and price volatility. Traders may need to make additional margin deposits or interest payments on short notice, and there is a risk of liquidation of collateral without consent in adverse market conditions.
