Binance Futures Expands with New Quarterly 0326 Delivery Contracts
Binance, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, is set to broaden its derivatives offerings. The platform has scheduled the launch of a new series of Quarterly 0326 delivery contracts for September 25, 2026, at 08:00 UTC. This update strategically encompasses both USD-Margined (USD-M) and Coin-Margined (Coin-M) futures, catering to the diverse methodologies of modern crypto traders.
USD-M Contracts: Leveraged Trading on Major Assets
Traders who prefer using stablecoins for margin will have access to two key USD-M contracts: BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT. These contracts track the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum against Tether (USDT) and will be available with leverage of up to 50x. This high leverage option provides experienced market participants with a potent tool for capital efficiency, albeit with proportionally increased risk.
Coin-M Contracts: A Broader Suite for Native Holders
The Coin-Margined lineup offers a wider selection for users who wish to trade using the underlying cryptocurrency as collateral. The new contracts include:
- BTCUSD CM
- ETHUSD CM
- BNBUSD CM
- XRPUSD CM
- SOLUSD CM
This structure is ideal for long-term holders looking to hedge their spot positions or speculate without converting their core holdings. Most Coin-M contracts will offer leverage up to 50x, though some pairs may have a maximum leverage cap of 20x, as detailed in the final contract specifications.
Delivery contracts, unlike perpetual contracts, have a predetermined expiration date. The "Quarterly 0326" designation means these contracts will settle and expire on March 26, 2026. This product type facilitates precise forward price discovery and offers strategies for traders with a clear view on medium-term market direction.
