Binance Adds Four More Stock Perpetuals With Up To 20x Leverage
Summary
Binance added four USDT-settled perpetual contracts tied to StablecoinX, Viking Therapeutics, McDonald’s and Akamai Technologies. The contracts trade around the clock with up to 20x leverage but provide price exposure only, not stock ownership or shareholder rights. Funding is settled every eight hours and capped at plus or minus 2% per interval. Because the contracts remain open while U.S. equity markets are closed, their prices can diverge from the underlying stocks, while leverage increases liquidation risk. The expansion reflects Binance’s broader push to offer traditional-asset exposure through crypto-style derivatives.
