Binance Futures is rolling out a new high-leverage trading option designed for advanced users looking to maximize capital efficiency.
Traders are now ableto access a DEEPUSDT perpetual contract with leverage of up to 50x.
The contract, pegged to the USDT stablecoin and tied to the DeepBook token (DEEP), will go live at 11:30 AM UTC and is set to be added to Binance’s Futures Copy Trading feature within 24 hours. This integration will let users replicate the strategies of top-ranked futures traders in real time.
Key details for the new instrument include a four-hour funding interval and a funding rate cap set between +2.00% and -2.00%.
This addition comes on the heels of DeepBook’s recent listings on both Binance Spot and South Korea’s Upbit exchange. Built within the Sui blockchain ecosystem, DeepBook acts as a decentralized liquidity engine aimed at making DeFi markets more efficient by reducing fragmentation.
The move underscores Binance’s ongoing push to broaden its derivatives catalog, particularly in fast-moving markets where sophisticated trading tools like high-leverage contracts are in demand.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other.
What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn?

He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
