What is USUSDT (not a stablecoin but a futures contract / Perpetual)?

👉 USUSDT, which has been recently discussed on the Binance Futures platform, is a perpetual contract and not a stablecoin or a regular currency that is bought and sold in the spot market.

The contract uses USDT as the settlement currency and allows traders to enter positions with leverage (up to 40x according to the announcement).

✔️ Underlying Asset:

It is Talus Network (US) — a Layer-1 project token focused on AI-supported blockchain and agent systems on-chain.

➡️ Therefore, the name of the contract is USUSDT meaning: a contract based on Talus Network ($US) and settled in USDT.

📍 The difference is important:

USUSDT is not a stablecoin like USDT or USDC.

It is a derivative contract (Futures) meaning you do not own the underlying token but expect price movement to achieve profit or loss.
