Binance Futures to Delist AERGOUSDT Perpetual Contract After Automatic Settlement

According to the announcement from Binance, Binance Futures will close all positions and carry out an automatic settlement for the USDⓈ-M AERGOUSDT Perpetual Contract on 2026-07-24 06:30 (UTC), after which the contract will be delisted. New non-reduce only orders for the contract will no longer be allowed from 2026-07-24 06:00 (UTC). The exchange said futures contracts are reviewed periodically using several factors, including trading volume and liquidity, network stability and safety, new regulatory requirements, changes in token supply and tokenomics, project ownership structure, the team’s commitment and development activity, responsiveness to due diligence requests, and evidence of unethical or fraudulent conduct or negligence. The notice also said users should close open positions before the delisting time to avoid automatic settlement. In the final hour before settlement, Binance Futures said the Futures Insurance Fund will not be used to support liquidation for the contract. Any liquidation during that hour will be executed as a single Immediate or Cancel order, with any remaining unfilled portion handled through the Auto-Deleveraging process if the account balance is not sufficient to meet maintenance margin requirements. Binance also said additional protective measures may be applied to the contract without further announcement, including changes to maximum leverage, position value, maintenance margin in each margin tier, funding rates, price index constituents, and the use of the Last Price Protected mechanism to update the Mark Price. The notice was issued under Binance Exchange Rule 17.
