On January 8, Binance announced the launch of TradFi perpetual contracts, offering perpetual futures trading for traditional assets and supporting 24/7 trading in traditional markets.
TradFi perpetual contracts are USDT-settled contracts that track the prices of underlying traditional financial (TradFi) assets, allowing users to trade their price fluctuations without directly holding these assets. The margin and settlement methods for TradFi perpetual contracts are the same as existing cryptocurrency perpetual contracts. The first contract, XAUUSDT (Gold), was launched on January 5, 2026, to all eligible markets, and XAGUSDT (Silver) was launched on January 7, 2026. Binance will continue to expand the variety of TradFi perpetual contracts. These contracts are settled in USDT only.
