1. What is Binance Discount Buy? 

Binance Discount Buy is a high-yield structured product that allows you to either lock in a future purchase of crypto at a target price below the current market value, or earn fixed Annual Percentage Rate (APR) rewards if the purchase is not executed.

If the price on settlement day is below the knockout price, you can buy cryptocurrency (e.g., BTC, ETH)  at a fixed target buy price lower than the market price when you subscribe. If the purchase is not executed, you will keep your stablecoin and earn the fixed APR on the settlement day.

Discount Buy is ideal for users looking to accumulate more crypto assets in a low-volatility market.

2. How are Knockout Price, Target Buy Price, and Settlement Price defined?

When you subscribe to Discount Buy, you can choose your preferred subscription based on the Knockout Price, Target Buy Price, APR, and Settlement Date. 

  • Knockout Price: A set price that determines whether the purchase is filled or you earn rewards. You can choose a fixed knockout price when you subscribe to the Discount Buy.
  • Target Buy Price: A set price at which you want to buy cryptocurrency. You can choose a fixed target buy price when you subscribe to the Discount Buy.
  • Settlement Price: The average Market Price in the spot trade from 07:30 (UTC) to 08:00 (UTC) on the Settlement Date.

3. How does Binance Discount Buy work? 

When you subscribe to Discount Buy, there are three possible scenarios on the settlement day:

Scenario 1: 100% Principal Purchases 

  • If Settlement Price ≤ Target Buy Price, you will buy crypto with 100% of your investment at the Target Buy Price. 

Scenario 2: 50% Principal Purchases 

  • If  Target Buy Price < Settlement Price < Knockout Price, you will buy crypto with 50% of your investment at Target Buy Price and 50% of your investment refunded.

Scenario 3: No Purchases and Receive Knockout APR Rewards

  • If Settlement Price ≥ Knockout Price, you will receive your investment back along with APR rewards.

Examples:

Let's assume the current BTC price is $80,000. You subscribe to the instrument with a purchase price of $75,000, a discount rate of 6.25%, a knockout price of $90,000, and an APR of 20%. The total Investment amount is 10,000 USDC and the duration, until the settlement date, is 10 days. 

Scenario 1: 100% Principal Purchases 

  • If Fixing price <= $75,000, you will get 0.13333333 BTC (10,000 USDC/ $75,000)

Scenario 2: 50% Principal Purchases

  • If $75,000 < Fixing price < $90,000, you will get 0.06666666 BTC (5,000 USDC / $75,000) and 5,000 USDC.

Scenario 3: Receive Principal and APR  

  • If Fixing price >= $90,000, You will get the principal of 10,000 USDC back and rewards of 54 USDC (10,000 USDC * (0.2*10/365)).

Please Note: The calculated value of APY% * Subscription Period (in days) / 365 will be rounded down to eight decimal places.

4. What are the benefits of using Discount Buy?

7. How are my rewards calculated if knockout?

If the Settlement Price is higher than the Knockout price, you will earn rewards instead of buying the crypto. The rewards are calculated as follows:

The rewards = Subscription Amount * [APR% * Subscription Period (in days) / 365]

Please note: The calculated value of APR% * Subscription Period (in days) / 365 will be rounded down to eight decimal places.

You subscribe to Discount Buy with a Knockout Price of 90,000, a Target Buy Price of 80,000, and a duration of 5 days. Your investment is 10,000 USDC and the APR is 20%. 

If the Settlement Price is 95,000, which is higher than the Knockout Price, you will receive the rewards.

Your Rewards = 10,000 USDC * (0.2 * 5 / 365) = 10,000 USDC *  0.0027 = 27 USDC.
