All expiries at or after this time will follow the new rule. Previous rule: The settlement price is the underlying market close price at 17:00 (ET) on the expiration date.New rule: The settlement price is the arithmetic mean of the Binance Futures Index Price during the 0.5 hours preceding the expiration time.Expiration times, trading sessions, and contract specifications remain unchanged. Affected Contracts Whether a contract is settled under the previous rule or the new rule is determined solely by its expiration time. The first batch settled under the new rule is the batch expiring at 17:00 (ET) on Monday, 2026-11-23.All Commodity Options expiring on or after that time will use the new rule.Contracts expiring before 17:00 (ET) on Monday, 2026-11-23 will still be settled under the previous rule, even if their settlement is processed afterwards. Calculation Settlement Price = 1/1,800 × (Price_t1 + Price_t2 + ... + Price_t1800) Example: The XAU-261130-4000-C contract settles at 2026-11-30 17:00:00 (ET). The settlement price is the average of the XAU Futures Price Index from 2026-11-30 16:30:00 to 2026-11-30 17:00:00 (ET).
