According to the announcement from Binance, Binance Futures will apply the Last Price Protected (LPP) Mechanism to the USDⓈ-Margined TACUSDT Perpetual Contract at 2026-08-27 11:00 (UTC) after spot price divergence was observed across multiple exchanges. The exchange said user funds remain safe and that the LPP Mechanism will be introduced gradually through a mark price smoothing process designed to reduce sudden price movements and support price stability during the transition. Binance said the LPP period will end when the spot price of TAC (TAC Protocol) across multiple exchanges converges and a stable index price can be derived from spot markets, as determined by Binance. A separate announcement will be issued when the contract is ready to move from LPP to standard Mark Price calculation. During the LPP period, the mark price will be based on the average of the last 10 seconds’ trade prices, calculated every second, with additional rules applying if there are fewer than 21 transaction prices in that interval. A ±1% price cap will also be imposed on the mark price each second. After the LPP period ends, the mark price will use the standard formula of Median (Price 1, Price 2, Contract Price).
Binance also said the capped funding rate for the contract will be adjusted from 2.00% / -2.00% to +0.005% / -0.005% from 2026-08-27 11:00 (UTC). The detailed schedule shows the maximum funding rate at 2026-08-27 08:00 (UTC) as +2.000% / -2.000%, then +0.005% / -0.005% at 2026-08-27 12:00 (UTC), 2026-08-27 16:00 (UTC), and 2026-08-27 20:00 (UTC). The contract is exempt from the funding interval adjustment rule during the LPP period, so the interval will not change from every four hours to every one hour when the previous settlement reaches the capped funding rate. After the LPP period ends, the funding rate will return to standard perpetual futures rules, with the maximum and minimum funding rate able to reach +2.00% / -2.00%, and the funding interval will shift from every four hours to every one hour when the previous settlement reaches +2.00% / -2.00%.
