Binance Futures has announced that it will delist several USDⓈ-M perpetual futures contracts as part of an update to its product portfolio and risk management framework.
According to the exchange’s official statement, all open positions in perpetual contracts for 42USDT, COMMONUSDT, CUDISUSDT, and EPTUSDT will be closed at 12:00 PM on January 30, 2026, and an automatic settlement process will be implemented. Once settled, these contracts will be permanently removed from the Binance futures platform.
Binance advised users to manually close open positions before the specified date to reduce potential risks. Additionally, new orders for these contracts will be prohibited from 11:30 a.m. on January 30, 2026. This process will result in an official notification issued pursuant to Binance Exchange Rule 17.
The statement also highlighted key risks to be aware of in the final hour before the settlement deadline. It was noted that during this period, the Futures Insurance Fund will not be used to support the liquidation process.
It states that liquidations triggered within the past hour will be presented to the market as one-time “immediate or cancel” (IOCO) orders. After this trade, liquidation will be stopped if the assets in the user’s account are sufficient to cover the maintenance margin. Otherwise, remaining positions will be closed using automatic deleveraging (ADL) mechanism.
Binance Futures also announced that it may take additional measures to protect users in highly volatile market conditions. These measures include adjustments to maximum leverage ratios, position limits, maintenance margins, funding rate updates, and changes to price index components. The exchange also reminded users that in case of discrepancies in translation, the English original should be considered the primary source.
