Binance Futures Adds Leveraged Exposure to Bitcoin and Treasury ETFs

The exchange introduced the BITOUSDT, TMFUSDT, and TBTUSDT contracts on July 27, rolling them out in five-minute intervals. These instruments offer up to 25x leverage, with funding settlements scheduled every eight hours. The TMFUSDT contract tracks the Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bull 3X ETF, while TBTUSDT follows the ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ETF, providing a mechanism to bet on the inverse performance of long-duration bonds.

BITOUSDT links directly to the ProShares Bitcoin ETF, which focuses on futures-based exposure rather than direct holdings. While these contracts mirror traditional U.S.-listed assets, they operate independently of standard market hours, remaining accessible 24/7. Binance allows the use of its Multi-Assets Mode for margin, though it cautioned that regional restrictions apply. Despite the inclusion of U.S.-referenced products, the launch is distinct from Binance.US, which remains a separate entity subject to its own regulatory constraints. This expansion aligns with the exchange’s broader strategy to evolve into a financial super app that integrates diverse investment themes beyond native cryptocurrency trading.
