Binance Futures introduced four USDT-settled perpetual contracts linked to traditional stocks and an exchange-traded fund on October 26. The additions cover the iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF, EQT Corporation, STMicroelectronics and AbbVie, extending the exchange’s range of traditional-market-linked derivatives.
According to Binance’s October 26 notice, the contracts are EIDOUSDT, EQTUSDT, STMUSDT and ABBVUSDT. Their scheduled launch times ran from 09:00 UTC to 09:15 UTC on Monday.
Four new Binance TradFi perpetual contracts
The launch schedule listed EIDOUSDT for 09:00 UTC, EQTUSDT for 09:05, STMUSDT for 09:10 and ABBVUSDT for 09:15. EIDO tracks the iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF. The other underlying assets are the common shares of EQT Corporation, STMicroelectronics and AbbVie.
All four are priced and settled in USDT. Binance’s specifications show a minimum notional value of 5 USDT, a maximum leverage of 20 times, and funding-fee settlements every eight hours. The platform lists trading hours as 24/7.
These products are derivatives rather than a purchase of the underlying ETF or shares. Holding a perpetual contract does not by itself give a trader direct ownership of stock, shareholder voting rights or ordinary dividend entitlements.

Why 24/7 stock-linked futures matter
Traditional equity markets operate on an exchange schedule. Crypto-linked perpetual markets can continue trading overnight and during weekends, creating a different way to express a view on an underlying asset.
That flexibility creates risks as well as opportunities. Prices can diverge from the underlying cash market when it is closed, spreads may change in thinner conditions, and the funding mechanism can add ongoing costs. A 20x leveraged position can suffer rapid losses from a comparatively small adverse price move.
Binance also states that product availability depends on jurisdiction. Readers should not assume these contracts are available in every country or under every account type.
What comes next for the market
The October 26 listings show how crypto exchanges are experimenting with exposure to traditional assets through derivatives. They do not mean the underlying companies have issued new shares or approved a blockchain stock token.
It will be worth watching open interest, trading liquidity, pricing during US market closures and any changes Binance makes to leverage or margin requirements. Binance says those parameters may be adjusted under its exchange and clearing rules.
