According to the announcement from Binance, the EDGEUSDT perpetual contract on Binance Futures will undergo a transition to a standard USDⓈ-M EDGEUSDT Perpetual Contract on 2026-03-31 at 12:30 (UTC). This process is expected to take up to three hours, depending on price volatility and the availability of a stable index price. During this transition, trading functions will remain operational, and open orders and positions will not be canceled. The transition involves converting pre-market perpetual futures contracts to standard perpetual futures contracts once a stable index price is established from the spot market, as determined by Binance. The mark price will gradually shift from the pre-market trading mark price to the standard mark price calculation, which is defined as the median of Price 1, Price 2, and the Contract Price. A price cap of ±1% will be enforced on the mark price, limiting price changes within a ±1% range every second during both the pre-market trading and transition periods. Once the pre-market perpetual futures contract concludes, the mark price will be calculated using the formula: Mark Price = Median (Price 1, Price 2, Contract Price). For further details on the formulas for Price 1 and Price 2, users are directed to the Mark Price and Price Index in USDⓈ-Margined Futures documentation. Additionally, after the pre-market trading ends, the premium index will be available, and the funding rate will adhere to the standard perpetual futures contract's funding rate rules, with maximum and minimum funding rates reaching up to +2.00% and -2.00%, respectively.
