Binance will launch Balance (EPT) for trading on its Alpha platform and Futures, offering leverage up to 20x. An airdrop of 3,500 EPT tokens will reward eligible users. Trading features include USDT settlements and Multi-Assets Mode, with ongoing market adjustments possible. Users are advised for the latest information to reference the original announcement.
Binance is set to launch Balance (EPT) for trading on its Alpha platform on April 21, 2025, at noon UTC. On the same day, Binance Futures will introduce the EPTUSDT Perpetual Contract, which allows leveraged trading up to 20x, beginning at 1 p.m. UTC. This makes Binance the first exchange to offer both the Futures and Alpha trading for EPT.
To celebrate the introduction of EPT, Binance will distribute an airdrop of 3,500 EPT tokens to qualifying users who possess a purchase history on Binance Alpha. The tokens will be credited to user accounts by 12:10 p.m. UTC on the launch date. Eligibility for this airdrop is restricted to those who completed purchases on Binance Alpha using Spot or Funding accounts from April 11 to April 17, 2025.
The EPTUSDT Perpetual Contract will have settlements in USDT, with funding rates limited to +2.00%/-2.00%. Funding fees will be calculated every four hours, and the contract will be available for trading continuously throughout the week. Additionally, Binance will permit Multi-Assets Mode, allowing users to utilise various margin assets, including BTC, while adhering to applicable haircuts.
Binance has indicated that it may modify multiple parameters of the perpetual contract based on market conditions, including funding fees and leverage ratios. Furthermore, the Futures Copy Trading feature will be accessible within 24 hours after the contract launch. It’s important to clarify that the EPT listing on Binance Futures does not ensure availability on Binance Spot, and users should check the original English announcement for precise information due to possible discrepancies in translations.
