Binance Futures has announced the delisting of four USDⓈ-M perpetual futures contracts as part of its ongoing product portfolio review and risk management framework updates. The affected trading pairs are 42USDT, COMMONUSDT, CUDISUSDT, and EPTUSDT.
According to the official statement, all open positions in these contracts will be automatically closed on January 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM (UTC). The exchange will implement an automatic settlement process, after which the contracts will be permanently removed from the platform. Binance has advised users to manually close their positions before the deadline to mitigate risks.
New order placements for these contracts will be prohibited starting at 11:30 AM on January 30, 2026, 30 minutes before the settlement. This action is being taken under Binance Exchange Rule 17.
The announcement highlighted specific risk management procedures for the final hour before settlement. Notably, the Futures Insurance Fund will not be used to support liquidation processes during this period. Instead, liquidations triggered in the last hour will be presented to the market as a one-time "Immediate or Cancel" (IOCO) order. If a user's account assets remain sufficient to cover the maintenance margin after this transaction, the liquidation will stop. Otherwise, remaining positions will be closed via the Automatic Deleveraging (ADL) mechanism.
Binance Futures also stated it reserves the right to implement additional protective measures during periods of high volatility. These may include adjusting maximum leverage ratios, position limits, maintenance margins, updating funding rates, and modifying price index components.
The exchange reminded users that in case of any discrepancies in translated versions of the notice, the original English text should be considered the authoritative source.
