Binance Futures are doing about $500Million a day in notional volume with their new perpetual BTC:USDT futures contract. 

Like BitFinex's new futures, Binance uses USDT margin collateral and pays out linear PnL in a zero sum game between users.

Binance recently acquired JEX, a low-tier futures exchange, and has currently only launched the BTC:USDT futures on their platform.

In contrast to Bitfinex, Binance is doing healthy volumes. This is likely due to Binance's lax KYC/AML requirements whereas Bitfinex requires users to be fully verified to trade Derivatives.

Time will tell whether Binance expands their offering to inverse, deliverable, or other crypto outside of BTC.
