Aergo protocol stirred up a buzz across the broader crypto industry on Tuesday as its native token AERGO price skyrocketed nearly 25% on an important update from Binance. The leading crypto exchange announced perpetual contract launch for the token, stirring investor enthusiasm across the market. Crypto enthusiasts continue to speculate whether the listing could spark an uptrend for the token ahead.
Binance Launches AERGO Futures Listing
As per an official Binance announcement dated September 10, the crypto exchange revealed that it is launching futures trading for AERGO USD-Margined perpetual contract (AERGOUSDT) starting today at 12:15 UTC. Traders on the platform can enjoy up to 75x leverage trading the digital asset.
This decision by the crypto exchange comes as a mover to “expand the list of trading choices offered and enhance users’ trading experience” on the platform. The underlying asset remains Aergo protocol.
It’s worth noting that the capped funding rate set by the exchange was at +2.00% / -2.00%. However, the CEX also clarified that it may adjust the specifications of the listing contract based on market conditions. This includes changes in the funding fee, tick size, maximum leverage, initial margin, and maintenance margin requirements.
Meanwhile, the protocol’s community on X recently revealed that it is readying a V4 update to enhance network compatibility and fix minor issues on the protocol’s ecosystem. With 95% of the work for this V4 update is completed, the testnet launch remains poised for mid-September. Also, the mainnet hard fork is set to go live by the end of September. These developments, altogether, have garnered significant investor attention on the AERGO token amid its price upswing.
