🚀 In a step that reflects its continuous commitment to improving the trading experience, Binance has announced a major update to the Mark Price calculation mechanism for TradFi perpetual futures, effective 31 August 2026 at 08:15 UTC.

🔹 This change is not just a routine technical adjustment, but reflects Binance’s philosophy of building a more mature and sustainable trading environment for both professional traders and institutions alike.

⚡ What is the fundamental change?

The basis for calculating "Price 2" (Price 2) in the mark price equation has been updated. The moving average period has been extended from 30 seconds to a full minute (60 seconds). This means the basis (Basis) will now be calculated using 60 data points over one minute, instead of 30 data points over 30 seconds.

📊 The new formula is:

Mark price = Median (Price 1, Price 2, Contract price)

Where: Price 2 = Price index + Moving average (one-minute basis)

🎯 Why is this shift important?

Reduced price noise: the 60-second period acts as a natural filter for sudden and temporary movements, providing a more stable mark price that better reflects the market’s true trend.

Better protection against liquidation: the mark price is the main reference for liquidation and stop-loss orders. Its increased stability means more protection for traders’ positions against unjustified momentary volatility.

Aligned with the nature of TradFi assets: traditional assets (bonds, stocks, indices) have liquidity and characteristics that differ from crypto. A one-minute period matches the dynamics of these markets more closely.

🔹 Critical point: this change applies **exclusively** to TradFi-style perpetual contracts. Other perpetual contracts (non-TradFi) will remain based on the 30-second period as before, ensuring tailored flexibility for each asset class.

💡 A deeper perspective: engineering mature markets

This update reminds us how traditional exchanges evolve. In mature markets, longer time periods are used to calculate reference prices to reduce manipulation and provide reliable settlement benchmarks. Binance applies the same engineering principles to the crypto world.

🛡️ For traders: what does this mean for you in practice?

Your positions will be less exposed to instant liquidation caused by "wick candles" (Wicks)

Risk management becomes more predictable and easier to plan

Automated trading strategies (Bots) will benefit from cleaner price data

🔮 Bottom line

Binance is not just content to be the biggest trading platform—it is leading efforts to build **mature, institutional-grade crypto market infrastructure**. This update, despite its seemingly simple nature, is a building block for building the trust of major investors and ensuring long-term market sustainability.
