Binance Lists STRC and Take-Two Stock Perpetual Futures With 25x Leverage

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has expanded its futures marketplace by introducing perpetual contracts tied to Strategy’s STRC perpetual preferred stock and Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO), the video game publisher behind the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). The move reflects Binance’s continued effort to bridge the gap between cryptocurrency trading and traditional financial markets by offering users more equity-linked trading opportunities.

According to Binance’s official announcement on July 2, the newly listed perpetual futures contracts are now available for trading. The exchange said the addition is part of its strategy to broaden the range of products on Binance Futures while improving the overall trading experience for users seeking exposure to major publicly traded companies.

The new contracts will be settled in USDT and support leverage of up to 25x, allowing traders to speculate on stock price movements without opening a conventional brokerage account. Binance’s growing lineup of equity-linked perpetual futures enables users to access traditional financial assets through its crypto trading platform on a 24/7 basis.

Alongside Strategy’s STRC and Take-Two Interactive, Binance also introduced perpetual futures for Caterpillar (CAT), Texas Instruments (TXN), Flex Ltd. (FLEX), Teradyne (TER), KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF (KSTR), and Bending Spoons (BSP), further expanding its selection of stock-based derivatives.

Interest in Strategy’s STRC stock has increased significantly in recent weeks after the company raised its U.S. dollar reserve to $2.55 billion, announced a buyback program for MSTR shares, and increased the dividend on its STRC perpetual preferred stock to 12%. These developments have attracted attention from both institutional and retail investors looking for exposure to Strategy’s evolving financial strategy.

STRC shares closed 3.06% higher at $87.46 on Wednesday, extending gains of more than 18% over the past week. Despite the strong price performance, daily trading volume remained relatively modest at approximately 2.7 million shares, suggesting investor participation has yet to fully recover. In premarket trading on Thursday, the stock added another 1.87%. However, STRC continues to trade below its $100 par value, a level closely watched by investors because it could influence Strategy’s ability to resume additional Bitcoin purchases.

Take-Two Interactive has also experienced notable momentum as excitement surrounding the upcoming launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 continues to build. The gaming giant’s shares finished Wednesday at $250.32, posting a modest 0.14% daily gain while climbing more than 19% over the past week. Premarket trading on July 2 showed the stock edging another 0.15% higher.

With GTA 6 scheduled for release on Nov. 19 and pre-orders already generating significant market buzz, investor interest in Take-Two has strengthened considerably. Binance’s decision to add TTWO perpetual futures provides crypto traders with another avenue to gain leveraged exposure to one of the gaming industry's most closely watched stocks without relying on traditional financial intermediaries.
