BINANCE FUTURES LAUNCHES TRADFI PERPETUAL CONTRACTS

Key Highlights:

  • Binance launches TradFi Perpetual Contracts for gold and silver.
  • Contracts trade 24/7, USDT-settled, with leverage and no expiry.
  • Product designed in such a way that it provides easy access, portfolio diversification and risk management.

Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, announced today, January 8, 2026, that it has officially launched TradFi Perpetual Contracts, a new product that blends traditional finance with digital assets. This product will let users trade exposure to  traditional markets using familiar crypto-style derivatives, helping bridge the gap to wider adoption. The announcement was posted on social media platform X.

Key Features Unlocking 24/7 TradFi Access

According to the announcement, these contracts will allow all-day access to the traditional assets, and the best part is that contracts will not be limited to the normal market timings, traders will be able to bet on assets like gold and silver through USDT-based perpetual futures. There will not be any end dates, but more flexibility and leverage to push gains.

At the centre of all of this is the diversification of the portfolio and risk protection. Users get indirect exposure to the traditional price moves without owning real assets, set up the same way crypto perpetuals.

With this the crypto users can easily market their entry into the traditional market and it will also allow strategies like balancing crypto swings with markets.

Initial Listings and Expansion Roadmap

Binance launched this new product by first adding XAUUSDT (Gold) on January 5, 2026, and then XAGUSDT (Silver) on January 7, 2026. Both of these contracts are available in eligible countries, however, they are only settled in USDT, making them easy for existing crypto traders to use. Binance has also hinted that this is just a start, and that more traditional assets may be added in the future.

From this launch it seems like the goal of this product is to give users more choices and the ability to trade traditional markets at any time, by providing user tools that they are familiar with.

This move is also in-line with Binance’s broader aim of making financial markets more accessible through new technology.

Seamless Access on Web and Mobile

Trading TradFi perpetuals on Binance is designed to feel familiar and easy to use. The interface closely matches regular crypto perpetual trading, so that users do not have to learn a new system or workflow.

This user-friendly setup lowers the entry barrier for both retail and institutional traders, making it simpler to trade traditional assets using tools that users already know and understand.

Robust Pricing and Risk Management for Non-Stop Trading

In order to support round-the-clock trading, even though it is well-known that the underlying assets do not trade 24/7, Binance uses smart systems to keep prices fair and stable.

The Price Index collects data from various sources and updates every second during the market hours, holding the last value when the market shuts down. In this way, the data maintains consistency.

The Mark Price also updates every second during trading but it uses a method called EWMA off-hours so that sudden unfair liquidations can be avoided.

Deviation limits keep the Mark Price from straying too far from the Price Index, which adds an extra layer of risk control.

Implications For Traders and Markets

This launch has come at a time when there is a high demand for products that bridge crypto and traditional finance. This move by Binance can potentially attract institutional investors to the exchange.

With features such as leveraging, hedging, and perpetual contracts, the exchange is offering a one-stop solution for global markets. As crypto winters fade and TradFi explores blockchain, this move could reshape derivatives trading, but users should review eligibility and risks before participating.
