Impact analysis
The direct operational change is the addition of one tradable contract with defined parameters. Traders of PREDICTUSDT face pre-market-specific mechanics rather than standard perpetual rules: mark price is a 10-second trade average subject to a ±1% per-second cap, and funding is fixed at 0.005% per four-hour interval because no premium index is available. Binance says the cap also applies during the pre-market-to-standard transition, and that open orders and positions will not be cancelled during that transition. After pre-market ends, mark price switches to the median of Price 1, Price 2 and contract price, and funding can range up to +2.00% / -2.00%. Binance reserves the right to adjust interest rate, tick size, leverage and margin requirements, and may raise funding settlement frequency to hourly with a separate announcement. Multi-Assets Mode is supported, so margin can be posted in assets such as BTC subject to haircuts. This content is not investment or trading advice.
