Binance has expanded its derivatives lineup with the launch of TradFi Perpetual Contracts, starting with gold (XAUUSDT) and silver (XAGUSDT).
The new products allow users to trade traditional financial assets through USDT-settled perpetual futures, blending commodities exposure with crypto-style trading mechanics.
The XAUUSDT gold perpetual went live on January 5, 2026, followed by the XAGUSDT silver perpetual on January 7, 2026. Both contracts are available directly on Binance via the Futures section under a dedicated [TradFi] tab.
TradFi meets crypto.

24/7 Commodities Trading on Crypto Rails
Unlike traditional commodities markets that operate during fixed trading hours, Binance’s TradFi perpetuals offer round-the-clock access, enabling continuous exposure to gold and silver price movements. This structure aligns commodities trading with the always-on nature of crypto markets.
The contracts are settled exclusively in USDT, using a familiar margin and liquidation framework already used across Binance’s crypto perpetuals. For silver, traders can access leverage of up to 50x, allowing both directional trading and short-term hedging strategies.
No Expiry, No Rollovers
As perpetual futures, the new TradFi contracts do not have expiration dates. Traders can hold positions indefinitely, provided margin requirements are maintained. This removes the need for contract rollovers, a common friction point in traditional futures markets.
The design makes the products particularly attractive for users looking to hedge crypto exposure with precious metalsor diversify portfolios without leaving the Binance ecosystem.
Regulated Structure and Future Expansion
The TradFi perpetuals are offered through Nest Exchange Limited, a Binance entity regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of the Abu Dhabi Global Market, providing a regulated framework for these offerings.
Binance has indicated that additional traditional assets may be added to the TradFi perpetual lineup over time, signaling a broader push to integrate traditional markets into crypto-native trading infrastructure.
With gold and silver now live as perpetual futures, Binance is positioning itself at the intersection of crypto derivatives and traditional finance, giving traders a single venue for digital assets and legacy market exposure.
