Binance announced it will delist four USDT-margined perpetual futures contracts on January 21, 2026, with automatic settlement commencing shortly thereafter.

The decision affects BIDUSDT, DMCUSDT, ZRCUSDT, and TANSSIUSDT traders, altering their strategic positions and liquidity engagements.

Binance to Remove Four Perpetual Futures Contracts

On January 17, 2026, Binance declared it will remove four perpetual futures contracts from the platform. This measure marks a shift in its derivatives offerings.

The affected contracts—BIDUSDT, DMCUSDT, ZRCUSDT, and TANSSIUSDT—will see positions closed on January 21, 2026. Binance may amend leverage and margins without notice. “The Futures Insurance Fund will not support liquidations in the final hour, remaining open positions will face automatic settlement,” stated in a Market Update by Binance.

Delisting to Affect Trading Volumes and Volatility

The delisting will likely impact the trading volumes of BID, DMC, ZRC, and TANSSI. Binance emphasizes managing volatility and liquidity risks during this scheme.

No official statements from leadership or regulatory bodies accompany this. The lack of Futures Insurance Fund support may challenge affected traders financially, according to a TechFlow Post.
