Better Late than Tether: USDT-Margined Contracts Now Live in Testnet ahead of November Launch

Today, we listed new linear perpetual swaps and futures in Testnet which are margined and settled in USDT. They are live in Testnet now – and full functionality for USDT trading will launch in November.

To allow users to prepare for and test trading strategies for the full launch, each USDT deposit address created in Testnet will receive 100,000 USDT_T2 (our form of Testnet USDT).

Please see below the details of the new contracts available in Testnet.
