According to the announcement from Binance, the platform is set to introduce the SPCXUSDT USDⓈ-M Futures Pre-IPO Perpetual Contract. Trading for this new contract will commence on 2026-05-21 at 03:45 (UTC). This initiative aims to broaden the trading options available on Binance Futures and enhance the overall trading experience for users.
The SPCXUSDT contract is based on the underlying equity of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SPCX) and will be settled in USDT. The contract features a tick size of 0.01 and a minimum trade amount of 1 SPCX, with a minimum notional value of 5 USDT. During the Pre-IPO trading period, the capped funding rate is set at +0.005% per funding interval, which will adjust to +2.00% / -2.00% after the Pre-IPO trading concludes. The interest rate during the Pre-IPO period is fixed at 0.015% daily, with funding fees settled every eight hours. The contract supports a maximum leverage of 5x and is available for trading 24/7.
The mark price methodology during the Pre-IPO trading period involves calculating the average of the last 10 seconds’ trade prices on Binance RIE every second. A ±1% price cap is imposed to limit price changes within this range during the Pre-IPO trading and transition period. Once the official IPO listing occurs, the Pre-IPO Perps will transition to standard TradFi Perps, with the mark price gradually converging to the standard calculation. The funding rate will also transition to the standard TradFi Perp Funding Rate Mechanism as outlined in the Clearing Procedures. Binance may adjust leverage and margin requirements in accordance with the Clearing Rules.
