Binance Futures Will Delist and Update the Leverage & Margin Tiers of USDⓈ-M ICPBUSD and LUNA2BUSD Perpetual Contracts

Fellow Binancians,

Binance Futures will close all positions and conduct an automatic settlement on the USDⓈ-M ICPBUSD and LUNA2BUSD Perpetual Contracts at 2023-03-22 09:00 (UTC). The contracts will be delisted after the settlement is complete.

In addition, Binance Futures will adjust the leverage and margin tiers of the USDⓈ-M ICPBUSD and LUNA2BUSD Perpetual Contracts at 2023-03-20 10:00 (UTC), as per the tables below. Existing positions opened before the update will be affected. It is strongly advised to adjust the position and leverage prior to the adjustment in order to avoid any potential liquidation.

Updates to Leverage & Margin Tiers:

• ICPBUSD (USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contracts)

• LUNA2BUSD (USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contracts)

Please Note:

• Users are advised to close any open positions prior to the delisting time to avoid automatic settlement.
• Users are not allowed to open new positions for the aforementioned contracts starting from 2023-03-22 08:00 (UTC).
• It is important to note that the maintenance margin change will directly affect liquidation price. Users who hold existing positions of the USDⓈ-M ICPBUSD and LUNA2BUSD Perpetual Contracts will be affected. To avoid being liquidated (i.e., margin ratio hits 100%), please add more margin to your USDⓈ-M Futures account or reduce your positions. It is recommended to control the margin ratio below 80%.
• Changes to maintenance margin rates will affect the funding rates of the USDⓈ-M ICPBUSD and LUNA2BUSD Perpetual Contracts. For more details on funding rate, please refer to Introduction to Binance Futures Funding Rates.
• In order to protect our customers and prevent potential risks in extremely volatile market conditions, Binance Futures may undertake additional protective measures toward the USDⓈ-M ICPBUSD and LUNA2BUSD Perpetual Contracts without further announcement, including but not limited to adjusting the maximum leverage value, position value, and maintenance margin in each margin tier, updating funding rates such as the interest rate, premium and capped funding rate, changing the constituents of the price index, and using the Last Price Protected mechanism to update the Mark Price.
• Where any discrepancy arises between the translated versions and the original English version, the English version shall prevail.
