Binance Futures is expanding its menu of perpetual contracts, adding two new USDT-margined offerings to its platform. The exchange announced it will gradually launch the SPORTFUNUSDT and AIAUSDT perpetual contracts on January 16, 2026.
The SPORTFUNUSDT contract goes live at 16:45 on that day, followed by the AIAUSDT contract at 17:00. Both contracts will allow for leverage of up to 20x and will be available for trading 24/7, because sleep is for people who don't like funding rate roulette.
The underlying asset for the SPORTFUNUSDT contract is Sport.Fun, a project building a sports-focused on-chain prediction economy. The platform lets fans buy and sell shares of athletes competing in major leagues like FIFA and NFL, earning rewards based on real-world performance, essentially turning Monday night football into a high-stokenomics spreadsheet.
For the AIAUSDT contract, the underlying asset is DeAgentAI, an artificial intelligence infrastructure project. Its goal is to enable the creation, deployment, and coordination of autonomous AI agents within blockchain environments, because clearly what the crypto space needed was more robots trading against your stop-losses.
Both contracts will use USDT as the settlement asset. Funding rates are capped between +2% and -2%, with fees collected every four hours, ensuring your portfolio gets a tiny haircut regularly. The minimum transaction amount is 5 USDT, and multi-asset mode support will be offered, so you can mix your risk like a degen cocktail. Binance Futures aims for these new contracts to bring greater diversity and liquidity to the market.
