Crypto exchange Binance announced on Jan. 8 the launch of regulated TradFi Perpetual Contracts, expanding its derivatives offerings with stablecoin-settled exposure to traditional assets, beginning with gold and silver.

The crypto firm stated:

Binance is excited to announce the official launch of TradFi Perpetual Contracts, expanding our product offerings to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets.

Vice President of Product Jeff Li opined: “The launch of TradFi Perpetual Contracts marks a key step in bridging traditional finance and crypto innovation.” The contracts are structured without expiry dates, eliminating the need for rollovers common in traditional futures markets.

“TradFi perpetual contracts are USDT-settled contracts that track the price of underlying traditional finance (TradFi) assets, allowing users to trade on the price movements of these assets without needing to own them directly. TradFi perpetual contracts are margined and settled in the same way as existing crypto perpetuals,” Binance clarified.

The products are offered through Nest Exchange Limited, a Binance entity regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market, where Binance operates as a Recognized Investment Exchange under a comprehensive licensing framework supporting compliant access to both digital and traditional financial instruments.

The exchange further described the scope of the initial release, explaining:

The inaugural TradFi Perpetual Contracts, XAUUSDT and XAGUSDT, correspond to the respective precious metals gold and silver. Binance is actively working to expand the offering with more trading pairs to further bridge traditional and crypto markets.

By introducing regulated, stablecoin-settled exposure to traditional commodities, Binance broadens participation for crypto-native traders while opening a compliant pathway for traditional market participants to engage with digital asset infrastructure.
