Binance moved on two fronts in late October: expanding its derivatives lineup with four new traditional-asset perpetual contracts while sharply curtailing services for Brazilian users to comply with new Central Bank of Brazil rules.
On October 26, Binance Futures listed EIDOUSDT, EQTUSDT, STMUSDT, and ABBVUSDT. The USDT-margined contracts reference the iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF, EQT Corporation, STMicroelectronics, and AbbVie. They allow up to 20x leverage, trade 24/7, settle in Tether’s USDT, and have funding payments every eight hours with rates capped at plus or minus 2%. The minimum notional is 5 USDT, minimum order size is 0.01 units, tick size is 0.01, and Multi-Assets Mode is supported.
The exchange said the new contracts remain exempt from automatic changes to funding intervals, and it retains authority to revise leverage and margin parameters. The listings extend a trend: in August, Binance added stock-linked contracts for Trump Media, Moderna, and semiconductor ETFs. CryptoQuant previously estimated Binance's share of TradFi perpetual open interest at about $720 million, while Pyth Network data showed tracked real-world-asset perpetual open interest reached a record $12.61 billion on September 30.
For Brazilian customers, the more consequential changes took effect on October 27. Binance restricted eight products — Loans, Binance Pool, Cloud Mining, Margin, Launchpool, Megadrop, HODLer Airdrops, and Alpha 2.0 — after the Central Bank of Brazil's Resolutions 519, 520, and 521 reshaped who may hold, lend, and move crypto for Brazilian residents. Loans shift to repayment-only with no fees or penalties; margin positions have no defined closure deadline but cannot be increased; other affected products become reduce-only.
At the same time, Binance delisted 22 tokens for Brazil: XVG, USDE, USTC, DCR, DUSK, PIVX, BB, MANTRA, ONE, GMT, TFUEL, ZIL, ONT, RVN, ACX, HIT, PYR, VANRY, VIC, ICX, SCRT, and STORJ. Token balances remain safe and users can withdraw or reinvest, but the local board no longer lists those assets. The delisting is Brazil-only, so those tokens remain tradable for Binance customers elsewhere.
Binance is migrating Brazilian clients to two locally licensed entities: Binance Brasil Corretora de Câmbio e Valores Mobiliários S.A. and BBrasil Sociedade Prestadora de Serviços de Ativos Virtuais Ltda. Custody remains offshore with Nest Clearing and Custody Ltd. in Abu Dhabi, an FSRA-authorized entity. Futures remain restricted from Brazilian residents under local law and sit behind a separate Abu Dhabi account, with existing positions flipped to reduce-only.
From October 29, gains on crypto held through the Brazilian entities fall under the domestic capital-gains regime. Monthly sales up to R$35,000 are exempt; above that threshold, the entire month’s gain is taxed at progressive rates of 15% to 22.5%. Crypto-to-crypto swaps count toward the limit. Brazilian users also face a new four-question risk-profile survey, and from November 1 international transfers will require declared purpose and counterpart details reported monthly to the central bank.
