Binance Futures has announced that it will remove several USD(S)-M perpetual futures contracts from the platform on December 5, 2025. According to the exchange’s statement, all open positions in the specified trading pairs will be automatically closed, followed by settlement, after which the contracts will be permanently delisted. This development serves as an important warning for users holding positions in these contracts.
Details on the Contracts to Be Removed and Their Timelines
Binance Futures has clearly outlined the closure and auto-settlement times for the contracts. Accordingly:
2025-12-05 09:00:
- USD(S)-M SXPUSDT
- USD(S)-M MILKUSDT
2025-12-05 09:30:
- USD(S)-M OBOLUSDT
- USD(S)-M TOKENUSDT
At these times, all open positions will be automatically closed by the system. Once settlement is completed, the respective contracts will be fully removed from the platform. Binance has taken similar actions in the past typically due to low liquidity, risk management requirements, or trading pairs failing to maintain sustainable volume. Therefore, it is crucial for investors to review their positions before the specified date.
New Position Openings Will Be Disabled
Binance also announced when users will no longer be able to open new positions in the affected contracts. Accordingly:
2025-12-05 08:30:
- SXPUSDT
- MILKUSDT
2025-12-05 09:00:
- OBOLUSDT
- TOKENUSDT
After these times, users will not be able to initiate new positions. It is recommended that traders review their current positions and manually close them if needed. Since automatic settlement during volatile price movements may lead to unexpected outcomes, managing positions manually can help reduce additional risks.
Analysts commented on the announcement:
“Binance’s decision to delist certain contracts may be aimed at strengthening risk management and maintaining liquidity in the futures market. Such adjustments help protect users from extreme volatility, especially in low-volume contracts.”
Conclusion
Binance’s decision to remove four futures contracts on December 5 can be seen as a strategic cleanup within the futures market. The automatic closure of open positions makes it essential for traders to carefully monitor the specified times. The restriction on opening new positions is also a key measure to contain potential risks. By paying attention to the position closure schedule and the settlement process, investors can prevent unwanted losses. This announcement once again highlights the need for Binance users to exercise strong risk management.
