> Binance's announced terms specified Tether (USDT) settlement, 24/7 trading, up to 10x leverage and funding every eight hours.

Binance scheduled WMTUSDT, a perpetual futures contract tied to Walmart Inc. common stock, for May 18, 2026, with planned Tether (USDT) settlement and round-the-clock trading.

Binance scheduled the launch for 9:35 a.m. ET (13:35 UTC) on May 18. The announced terms allowed leverage up to 10x and set funding settlement at eight-hour intervals.

The contract was a derivative that tracked Walmart common stock, not a tokenized share. WMTUSDT offered stock-linked exposure through a futures contract rather than a digital version of Walmart stock.
