- •Both new contracts use USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, as settlement collateral instead of volatile cryptocurrencies.
- •HYPE is the native token of Hyperliquid, a decentralized trading protocol centered on perpetual futures, while TRX is the native token of the TRON blockchain network.
- •The perpetual futures contracts carry no expiration date, allowing traders to hold long or short positions without directly purchasing the underlying assets, and shorts can hedge downside exposure for existing holders.

According to an announcement from Binance, the HYPEUSDC perpetual futures contract will open for trading at 12:30 PM on November 11, with the TRXUSDC contract following five minutes later at 12:35 PM the same day.
The new listings will allow Binance Futures users to establish long or short positions based on the price movements of HYPE and TRX, using USDC as collateral. HYPE is the native token of Hyperliquid, a decentralized trading protocol centered on perpetual futures, while TRX is the native token of the TRON blockchain network. The additions expand the exchange's derivatives offerings for both cryptocurrencies.
USDC-Margined Contracts for Hyperliquid and TRON
Both contracts will use USDC as settlement collateral. USDC is a stablecoin designed to maintain a value pegged to the U.S. dollar, giving traders a dollar-denominated asset with which to manage their futures positions. Collateralizing in a stablecoin also contrasts with contracts margined in volatile cryptocurrencies, where the collateral value fluctuates alongside the traded position.
Perpetual futures differ from conventional futures contracts in that they carry no predetermined expiration date. Traders can maintain long positions when anticipating price increases or short positions when expecting prices to decline, without directly purchasing or holding the underlying cryptocurrency.
Through the HYPEUSDC and TRXUSDC contracts, Binance users will gain additional ways to trade the price movements of Hyperliquid and TRON on the exchange's futures platform. Futures listings also provide a hedging mechanism for existing holders, since a short position can offset downside exposure without selling the underlying asset on the spot market.
Leverage and Trading Parameters Not Disclosed
Binance's announcement did not specify the maximum leverage available for either contract. Details regarding funding rate ranges and other technical trading parameters were also not included in the information provided. Until those figures are published, the confirmed launch times remain the only specifications available for the two contracts.
The exchange confirmed that both contracts will follow the announced five-minute launch schedule, with HYPEUSDC going live at 12:30 PM and TRXUSDC at 12:35 PM on November 11, 2026.
The introduction of additional futures markets can influence trading activity and liquidity for the associated cryptocurrencies. However, any potential effect on the prices of HYPE and TRX will depend on broader market conditions and investor demand rather than the listings alone.
