Binance Futures will commence pre-market trading for a USDS-margined EDGEUSDT perpetual contract, scheduled to begin on March 19, 2026, expanding the exchange's derivatives offerings with stablecoin margining.
The new contract will enable traders to use USDS, a dollar-backed stablecoin, as margin collateral for EDGE perpetual positions. Pre-market trading allows participants to establish positions and assess liquidity conditions ahead of the official contract launch, a standard practice Binance Futures employs for new derivative instruments.
The addition reflects Binance's strategy to diversify margining options beyond traditional USDT and BUSD offerings, potentially broadening appeal to traders managing stablecoin portfolios. EDGE's inclusion in the perpetual futures ecosystem signals growing demand for emerging asset classes within institutional and retail derivatives markets.
