The cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced a new listing for YieldBasis (YB) on its Futures trading platform. This listing will allow investors to trade YB tokens in the futures market, increasing the token’s liquidity. Binance’s move is expected to attract significant interest, particularly from professional and institutional investors.
USDS-M YB Perpetual Contract Launches
Binance Futures will convert the existing USDS-M YB Perpetual Contract market into a new USDS-M YB Continuous Contract format. This transition will begin on October 15, 2025, at 11:00 (UTC) and is expected to take approximately three hours. During this period, factors such as price volatility and the availability of a stable index price will be carefully monitored.
Binance officials stated that the transition will be carried out gradually and in a controlled manner, ensuring that investors’ existing positions remain secure. The process aims to help users stay prepared for potential market fluctuations.
What Is YieldBasis (YB)?
YieldBasis is a platform that utilizes BTC liquidity in a 2x leveraged BTC/crvUSD pool. Users deposit BTC and receive ybBTC tokens, which track the BTC price 1:1 while earning trading fees from Curve. The protocol maintains 2x leverage (50% debt-to-value ratio) by borrowing crvUSD, effectively eliminating impermanent loss.
Users can either:
- Earn BTC-denominated fees without staking ybBTC, or
- Stake ybBTC to receive YB token emissions.
YB tokens provide governance power and fee-sharing benefits through vote locking (veYB).
Impact on Trading and Positions
During the transition period, trading activity in the YBUSDT Perpetual Contract is expected to increase, and existing positions will continue under the new contract format. Binance advises traders to monitor their positions and risk exposure carefully.
With the new contract, investors will gain access to:
- More flexible leverage options, and
- Enhanced liquidity opportunities in the market.
By expanding futures listings, Binance aims to deepen liquidity and strengthen the overall crypto ecosystem. This listing for the $YB token provides investors with broader trading opportunities and advanced risk management tools. Additionally, Binance’s transparent transition process seeks to reinforce trust among both institutional and retail users.
