Cryptocurrency exchange giant Binance has announced the listing of three new USDⓈ-margin perpetual contracts on its futures trading platform, Binance Futures. The new trading pairs – ZKPUSDT, GUAUSDT, and IRUSDT – were launched in a phased rollout on December 21, 2025, expanding the platform's derivatives offerings and providing users with enhanced trading options.

The listings followed a specific schedule: the ZKPUSDT perpetual contract went live at 13:00 (UTC), offering leverage of up to 40x. This was followed by the GUAUSDT contract at 13:15 with leverage up to 20x, and finally the IRUSDT contract at 13:30, also with maximum leverage of 40x. All contracts use USDT as collateral and support 24/7 trading.

Each contract is tied to a distinct underlying asset with unique value propositions. ZKPUSDT is based on zkPass (ZKP), a project building a zkTLS-based oracle network designed to allow users to generate cryptographic proofs from private web data. GUAUSDT represents SUPERFORTUNE (GUA), described as an AI-powered predictive market engine that combines concepts from Chinese metaphysics with cryptocurrency market analysis to identify price patterns. IRUSDT is linked to Infrared Finance (IR), which serves as the fundamental infrastructure layer for the Proof of Liquidity (PoL) structure within the Berachain ecosystem.

Technical parameters for the new contracts include a minimum price increment (tick size) of 0.00001. The funding rate mechanism has upper and lower limits set at +2% and -2%, with funding fees calculated and exchanged every four hours. The contracts also support Multi-Asset Mode.

Binance stated that the introduction of these new products aims to provide investors with greater diversity in the derivatives market and to increase overall liquidity. The exchange, however, included a standard risk warning, cautioning users about the significant risks associated with highly leveraged trading and clarifying that the announcement does not constitute investment advice.
