More Details
As with all quanto contracts, the BNBUSDT product will have a fixed Bitcoin multiplier regardless of the Tether/Binance Coin price. This allows traders to long or short the BNB/USDT exchange rate without ever touching either BNB or USDT.
Traders post margin in XBT, and earn or lose XBT as the BNB/USDT rate changes. This quanto risk premium may be one of the factors which results in the BNBUSDT swap trading at a premium / discount to the BNBUSDT spot price – see our blog post explaining the same concept for ETHUSD.
