Binance announced it will list an indefinite futures contract (Perp) on the iShares MSCI Korea ETF (EWY) on the 16th at 13:30 UTC. The Perp will be tradable with USDT and will support up to 10x leverage. This product provides exposure to the EWY ETF in a perpetual futures format on the exchange.
EWY is managed by BlackRock’s iShares and tracks the MSCI Korea 25/50 index, representing large- and mid-cap Korean equities. The ETF has risen about 24% year-to-date, making it a focal point in the ETF space. The portfolio includes major names such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Hyundai Motor, and KB Financial, spanning 83 Korean stocks.
Binance’s move broadens access to perpetual futures within the crypto market and aligns with broader trends toward tokenized securities, as noted by rwa.xyz, which reports tokenized equities have surpassed $1 billion in size. The site notes that tokenized equity has grown from roughly $770.6 million at the start of the year, rising about 31% over a two-month period.
