What Is Binance CEX’s New LDUSDT Token All About? AllinCrypto April 10, 2025
Binance has launched a new token called LDUSDT, a yield-bearing product for cryptocurrency traders to gain capital from their holders.
The unique token is not a stablecoin or a simple crypto token, instead, it has been dubbed a ‘yield-bearing’ product allowing holders to earn rewards.
Let’s break down the new LDUSDT token and how Binance plans to utilize the token on their exchange for yield-bearing opportunities in futures trading via collateral.
Binance LDUSDT to earn users passive rewards in 2025
Binance Futures announced that a new token, LDUSDT, will arrive this April as a reward-bearing margin asset token, to be used alongside Tehter’s USDT stablecoin.
The LDUSDT token will allow users to trade and hold the token while earning passive rewards on the side in the form of a varying APR.
LDUSDT follows Binance’s BFUSD token, launched in November of 2024. Token users can earn passive rewards by holding USDT in Binance’s Simple Earn Flexible Products.
By acting as collateral for trades, holders earn daily rewards for utilizing the token, similar to how BFUSD works.
The token therefore encourages Binance exchange traders to use futures contracts and other options to maximize their earnings.
Both unique tokens balance assets between futures and spot markets and collect fees with some of the rewards also coming in from Binance staking, this is known as a delta hedging strategy.
From Jeff Li, VP of Product at Binance:
“After the launch of our first reward-bearing margin asset BFUSD was positively received by users, we are pleased to introduce yet another product to bring more utility to our users. LDUSDT increases capital efficiency for users and lets users put their assets to work for them.”
Despite delisting USDT for European-based traders due to Tether’s refusal to abide by MiCA regulations, the LDUSDT token is based on its usage.
Binance has also partnered with Circle to offer enhanced trading features with the USDC stablecoin, which is excluded from this margin-based offering. According to a recent press release from Binance, the new yield token is due to launch in April 2025.
The BNB Chain Resuragnance
Since Changpeng Zhao’s departure from Binance, the centralized exchange, now led by Richard Teng, has taken a new approach when it comes to onboarding new crypto tokens and making deals.
In the past, Binance’s token listings were regular, often tapping into DeFi projects gaining momentum on-chain before going mainstream.
Lately, Binance has taken a more strategic approach and has focused on rebuilding the BNB Chain as a network for decentralized finance in competition with Solana, and it’s been paying off.
The outlook for Binance’s BNB token is positive with many price predictions settling on a four-figure target wihtin this cycle.
