Cryptocurrency derivatives platform Binance Futures has delisted perpetual contracts based on the underlying LUNA. For similar instruments, but in USDT, the leverage has been reduced from 21-25x to 8x.

The changes took effect on May 12 at 8:00 UTC.

The platform automatically closed positions on the Token Margin LUNA for users who were unable to make the necessary changes on their own.

Parameters remain in effect for open positions on USDT-Margined LUNA.

Below is a table containing the risk parameters when opening a new position under this contract.

Binance Futures warned that the parameters may be revised in the future.

Recall that on the morning of May 12, the price of LUNA dropped to $0.3. The trend was observed for several consecutive days.

Do Kwon, head of the Terraform Labs organization behind the blockchain, presented a plan to restore the UST price, but that did not prevent the bids from collapsing.
