Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced the discontinuation of certain contracts on its futures platform. According to the announcement, the COIN-M APTUSD and OPUSD perpetual futures contracts traded on Binance Futures will be terminated on March 25, 2026, at 12:00 PM.
The exchange stated that all open positions would be automatically closed on the specified date, followed by a final settlement process. After the settlement process is complete, the relevant contracts will be completely removed from the platform.
The underlying assets of the contracts to be delisted include Aptos and Optimism. These COIN-M type contracts, based on these assets, are derivative products where the collateral is deposited in crypto assets.
Binance recommends that users close their positions before the specified date to avoid being affected by potential risks. Otherwise, the automatic closing operations performed by the system may have different results depending on market conditions.
Exchange officials stated that the products on the platform are regularly reviewed and that factors such as market liquidity, trading volume, and user experience influence such decisions.
Experts emphasize that such delishing decisions are part of risk management in derivatives markets and that investors should closely monitor the current status of the contracts they are trading.
