Binance Alpha Launches DoubleZero (2Z) Trading from Oct 2
With this development, Binance becomes the first global exchange to list DoubleZero across both its Alpha and Futures offerings. The decision symbolizes Binance’s current effort to spotlight emerging projects as it continues to expand product diversity for its global user base.
To celebrate the debut, Binance has announced an exclusive airdrop campaign for eligible users. Traders can claim their rewards through Binance Alpha Points on the Binance Alpha Events Page. The 2Z airdrop will begin from October 2, 12:00 (UTC) to October 3, 12:00 (UTC). Access is available via the Binance App’s search function, with detailed claiming instructions provided on the event page.
The newly listed 2ZUSDT perpetual contract comes with specific trading conditions. It will support 24/7 trading, with USDT as the settlement asset and a capped funding rate of +2.00% / -2.00%. Funding fees will be settled every four hours. Maximum leverage is set at 50x, with tick size details to be confirmed fifteen minutes prior to launch. The contract will also be integrated into Binance Futures’ New Listing Fee Promotion campaign and made available for Futures Copy Trading within 24 hours.

DoubleZero positions itself as a decentralized framework optimized for high-performance distributed systems, particularly blockchains.
Binance emphasized that specifications for the contract, such as funding fees, leverage, and margin requirements, may be adjusted in response to market conditions. Traders using Multi-Assets Mode will also have the flexibility to use other assets, including Bitcoin, as margin.
With this launch, Binance aims to not only offer new opportunities for derivatives traders but also highlight its position as a launchpad for innovative blockchain projects.
The DoubleZero listing also aligns with the firm’s larger narrative that has been shaping around the future of crypto. At the recent BNBDay event in Tokyo, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared that decentralized exchanges (DEXs) could eventually surpass centralized exchanges (CEXs) in terms of trading activity. His prediction reflects a growing transition in the industry, where decentralization, user control, and efficiency are becoming key priorities.
CZ noted that if he were to start his journey in crypto today, he would focus on building a privacy-preserving perpetual DEX paired with a simple AI trading agent. According to him, this combination shows the “natural evolution of DeFi.” He added that it offers users more control over their assets as well as streamlines the trading process. Moreover, it would also reduce reliance on intermediaries, aligning with the ethos of crypto.
Zhao also brought AI into the conversation, as he calls it as a key driver of change. He explained that AI is necessary for retail trading automation, because it allows complex markets to be managed more efficiently and with lesser friction.
By combining AI with decentralized infrastructure, Zhao argued, the next generation of trading platforms could achieve what centralized models often cannot ie., greater transparency, higher efficiency and long-term stability.
He also pointed to the transformation of stablecoins and the rise of tokenized real-world assets. These developments, he suggested, are reshaping finance step by step. And in that sense, AI might be the missing piece that pushes crypto finance into the global space.
