USDⓈ-Margined Futures contracts on Binance Futures are not inverse contracts. Instead, they are linear futures products that are quoted and settled in USDT or USDC - stablecoins pegged to the value of the U.S. dollar.
One of the key benefits of USD-settled contracts is that you can easily calculate your returns in fiat. This makes USDⓈ-margined contracts more intuitive. For example, when you make 500 USDT in profit, you can easily estimate that the profit is worth approximately $500 - since the value of 1 USDT is pegged closely to 1 USD.
USDⓈ-margined contracts offer the following characteristics:
The minimum notional value of each order must be no less than the threshold of 5 USDT. If the order notional value is less than the set threshold (5 USDT), the order will be rejected.
For example, if the user opens an order of 0.001 BTC > 5 USDT notional value, the order can be successfully placed; if the user opens an order 0.000001 BNB < 5 USDT notional value, the order will be rejected.
