🚀 Important announcement from the Binance platform shaking the world of futures trading!

🎯 As of August 31, 2026 at 08:15 UTC, Binance Futures will carry out a strategic adjustment to the reference price (Mark Price) calculation mechanism for TradFi perpétuelle contracts. This change comes with profound effects on your trading experience.

🔹 What is the fundamental change?

The "Price 2" basis has been updated from a moving average based on a 30-second window to one based on a full minute. This means the calculation will now include 60 data points within one minute instead of only 30 data points within 30 seconds.

🔹 Technical comparison details:

Before the change:

• Reference price = Median (Price 1, Price 2, Contract price)

• Price 2 = Price index + Moving Average (30-second basis)

• The basis is calculated every second by taking the average of bid and ask prices, then subtracting the price index

After the change:

• Reference price = Median (Price 1, Price 2, Contract price)

• Price 2 = Price index + Moving Average (1-minute basis)

• The basis is calculated every second in the same way, but with a wider time window

🔹 Why is this change important for traders?

🛡️ Greater pricing stability: The full one-minute window provides a smoother average and is less affected by sharp short-term price fluctuations, reducing the risk of unfair liquidations caused by temporary price manipulation or brief liquidity gaps.

⚖️ Better balance between responsiveness and stability: While the 30-second basis responded faster to market moves, it was also more prone to price noise. The new 1-minute basis achieves an ideal balance.

🎯 Enhanced user protection: Binance confirms its ongoing commitment to reviewing its products and services to ensure the best possible user experience. This update is made in line with that philosophy.

🔹 Very important note:

Perpetual contracts that are not TradFi will remain on a 30-second basis without change, meaning this update is targeted precisely to a specific category of contracts.

💡 What this means for your trading strategy:

If you trade TradFi perpetual contracts, you will notice:

• Reduced artificial volatility in the reference price

• More stable margin and liquidation calculations

• A more fair trading environment during periods of high volatility

🔍 Binance states that there may be differences between the original English version and any translations, so the original English version is recommended for the most accurate information.

🌟 This update reflects Binance’s maturity as a leading platform that understands that precise technical details in pricing mechanisms are what separate a good platform from an exceptional one.

📈 Stay tuned for upcoming updates—Binance continues to lead in developing the infrastructure for digital asset trading with the highest professional and transparency standards!
