Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

Binance introduced a new stock put option sell strategy on October 15, requiring sellers to lock the full strike‑price amount in USDC before exercising and treating premium separately, as outlined in its updated FAQ. However, the linked product terms still exclude sell operations and impose restrictions on US persons, creating a direct conflict between the new sell‑strategy guidance and the existing terms. Users must independently assess the risks and reconcile these contradictory provisions before engaging with the product.

    Binance reserves full USDC for put sellers in new stock options offering

    Report first recorded Oct 16, 15:42

    Binance announced covered-call and cash-secured-put selling on Oct. 15, allowing eligible stock-options customers to collect premiums while committing shares or USDC to potential assignment. The new seller FAQ requires put sellers to reserve the full USDC purchase funds in the Funding Account to cover the strike price for every contract, separate from the premium. However, the linked September product terms still exclude option writing, creating a conflict with the new selling instructions. The linked terms also exclude US persons and flag restrictions in China, Hong Kong, and the EU.
