Binance Futures to Update GUAUSDT Perpetual Contract Parameters

Binance Futures has announced that it will conclude the Last Price Protected (LPP) period for the USDⓈ-Margined GUAUSDT Perpetual Contract. Effective July 10, 2026, at 10:30 UTC, the Mark Price for this contract will transition from the LPP mechanism to the standard Mark Price calculation.

Mark Price = Median (Price 1, Price 2, Contract Price)
