Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced a significant expansion of its futures trading platform, introducing USDT-settled perpetual contracts that track the share prices of five major U.S.-listed companies. Trading for these new equity-linked derivatives is scheduled to commence on February 9, 2026, with a staggered rollout throughout the day.
The new contracts, which offer up to 10x leverage, are MSTRUSDT (MicroStrategy), AMZNUSDT (Amazon), CRCLUSDT (Circle), COINUSDT (Coinbase), and PLTRUSDT (Palantir). According to the official schedule, they will launch at ten-minute intervals starting at 14:30 UTC with MSTRUSDT.
A key innovation of these products is their 24/7 trading availability, which allows for price discovery and risk management even when the underlying U.S. stock exchanges are closed. This creates a parallel, crypto-native layer for equity exposure. The contracts follow the standard perpetual futures model, with funding fees exchanged every eight hours.
Binance emphasized that these are derivative products designed to track share prices, not equivalent to direct stock ownership. The exchange stated the move aims to provide users with more trading options and enhance the platform experience. The launch supports Multi-Asset Mode, allowing margin to be posted with assets like Bitcoin (BTC), and features a low minimum trade size of 0.01 shares (5 USDT notional).
This expansion is part of Binance's broader strategy to bridge traditional finance with crypto infrastructure, following recent listings of perpetuals for Intel (INTC) and Robinhood (HOOD).
