What happens when gold and silver can be traded without schedules or borders?

A new tool aims to, for the first time continuously, bridge the pulse of traditional finance with the crypto ecosystem.

In a market that never sleeps and where every second counts, Binance has introduced a new option for those seeking to protect, diversify, or enhance their capital without relying on traditional market hours.

This is the TradFi Perpetual Contracts, a product that provides access to conventional assets through USDT-settled perpetual contracts, available 24/7.

The announcement marks a new milestone in the platform’s derivatives expansion and opens the door to continuous exposure to TradFi markets, blending traditional instruments with the dynamic crypto landscape.

A Shared Vision

Jeff Li, VP of Product at Binance, explained the scope of this initiative:

“The launch of TradFi Perpetual Contracts represents a key step in connecting traditional finance with crypto innovation. By offering 24/7 access to conventional assets through a seamless trading experience, we empower users to diversify and manage portfolios more effectively. Backed by strong regulatory compliance, these products create new opportunities for both TradFi and crypto traders on Binance.”

The launch occurs within a well-defined regulatory context. Binance is the first global platform to obtain comprehensive licenses under the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) framework, while TradFi perpetual contracts are offered by Nest Exchange Limited, an entity regulated by ADGM’s FSRA as a recognized exchange.

Initial Contracts Available

In this first phase, the available contracts are XAUUSDT and XAGUSDT, representing gold and silver, respectively.

The company has indicated that it is working on expanding the offering with new pairs, aiming to strengthen the link between traditional markets and the crypto ecosystem.

The initiative seeks to bring TradFi instruments closer to crypto users while providing traditional participants with a regulated and reliable environment.

In doing so, Binance reinforces its strategic commitment to expanding trading options under high regulatory standards.

TradFi Perpetual Contracts have no expiration date and require no rollover, simplifying their use. They are designed for hedging, diversification, and combining traditional and digital assets within a single portfolio.

Key features include:

24/7 Exposure to Traditional Markets: Enables continuous trading, including pre- and post-market sessions as well as overnight hours, with global access.

Simple and Transparent Structure: Contracts are USDT-settled and maintain a fee structure consistent with other perpetual contracts on the platform.

Configurable Leverage: Users can adjust leverage according to their risk profile and trading strategy.

Advanced Risk and Price Management:

Price index based on multiple providers, updated every second during market hours and stabilized outside of them.

Mark price updated continuously, using an Exponential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) outside trading hours to mitigate sudden price fluctuations.

Deviation limits between the index price and mark price, such as ±3% applied to commodities like XAUUSDT.

TradFi perpetual contracts are now available on the Binance web platform, mobile app, and via API, expanding opportunities to trade in an environment designed to integrate two financial worlds that until now operated in parallel.
