Binance Futures opened trading in a pre-market perpetual contract for Predict.fun’s $PREDICT token on October 25, 2026, at 08:15 UTC, offering up to 5x leverage before the token has a spot market. The PREDICTUSDT contract gives traders a way to price the token through derivatives while Predict.fun’s public token generation event remains incomplete.

Key takeaways

  • PREDICTUSDT offers leveraged trading before $PREDICT is available on spot markets.
  • The contract uses trade-based pricing with a ±1% per-second movement limit.
  • A Binance Futures listing carries no promise of a Binance Spot listing.

Binance Futures brings the $PREDICT token to pre-market trading

PREDICTUSDT is a USDⓈ-margined perpetual that settles in $USDT and allows leverage of up to 5x, Binance’s contract specifications show. With no $PREDICT spot market on any venue, the contract is the token’s primary source of price discovery.

$PREDICT is the native token of Predict.fun, which Binance’s project note describes as a prediction market on $BNB Chain. Users take positions on future event outcomes; the futures contract, instead, lets traders take directional positions on the platform’s token.

How pricing, funding and margin work

The contract calculates its mark price from trades rather than from a spot-market index. Binance uses an average of transaction prices over the preceding ten seconds, updates it each second and limits each second’s movement to ±1%.

If that window contains fewer than 21 trades, the calculation uses the most recent 20 transaction prices instead.

During pre-market trading, the funding cap is +0.005% per four-hour interval. After the contract becomes a standard perpetual, the funding limits widen to +2.00% and −2.00% per interval.

The minimum order is 1 $PREDICT, subject to a minimum notional value of 5 $USDT, and the tick size is 0.0001. Binance also supports Multi-Assets Mode, allowing traders to provide assets such as BTC as margin.

A fixed token supply, but no completed public launch

$PREDICT’s total supply and maximum supply are each fixed at 1,000,000,000 tokens. Predict.fun has not completed its public token generation event.

The billion-token figure describes total supply, not circulating float. Multiplying a pre-market price by that supply produces an implied fully diluted valuation rather than a circulating market capitalization: a $0.01 price equates to $10 million on that basis.

A futures listing does not promise spot access

Binance says that listing a token on its futures platform does not guarantee a listing on Binance Spot. The Binance Futures contract for the $PREDICT token is a derivatives product, not an existing route to buy the token on a spot market.

The exchange says conversion to a standard perpetual will happen automatically and gradually once spot markets provide a stable index price. During that process, the mark-price calculation will move away from the ten-second trade average toward the median used in its standard three-price formula.

Predict.fun joins an active prediction-market sector

Predict.fun operates in the same sector as Polymarket and Kalshi. Its $BNB Chain platform focuses on event outcomes, while PREDICTUSDT adds a separate market for leveraged exposure to its native token.

Polymarket introduced perpetual trading in early September with leverage of up to 20x. Binance’s PREDICTUSDT contract launched with a 5x ceiling.
