Binance Introduces 24/7 TradFi Perpetual Futures for Commodities

TLDR:

• TradFi perpetuals enable continuous commodity market access beyond standard trading hours globally.
• Contracts use aggregated price indices updated per second with fixed off-hour values for stability.
• XAUUSDT and XAGUSDT represent Binance’s initial commodity offerings with more assets planned ahead.
• Abu Dhabi’s regulatory framework positions Binance as the industry leader in comprehensive licensing.

Binance has introduced TradFi Perpetual Contracts to its trading platform, marking a new chapter in digital asset offerings. 

The exchange announced the launch on January 8, 2026, expanding its futures market beyond cryptocurrency. Gold perpetuals began trading on January 5, followed by silver contracts on January 7. 

The move bridges traditional finance assets with digital trading infrastructure. Users can now access commodity markets through USDT-settled contracts available around the clock.

Round-the-Clock Access to Traditional Markets

The new product line allows traders to engage with traditional finance assets beyond conventional market hours. 

Gold and silver perpetual contracts operate continuously, providing exposure when physical markets remain closed. Each contract tracks the underlying asset’s price movements without requiring direct ownership. Traders can use these instruments for portfolio diversification and hedging strategies.

The platform maintains its familiar trading interface for these new products. All TradFi perpetuals settle in USDT, matching the structure of existing cryptocurrency contracts. 

Users access the products through a dedicated tab on both web and mobile platforms. The exchange plans to add more traditional assets to the lineup over time.

Leverage options remain available for amplifying trading positions across these markets. The perpetual contract format eliminates expiry dates, offering ongoing flexibility for position management. 

This structure mirrors the crypto perpetuals that traders already know well. The seamless integration reduces the learning curve for existing platform users.

Regulatory Framework and Pricing Infrastructure

Binance operates these contracts through Nest Exchange Limited, holding full regulatory approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority. 

The Abu Dhabi Global Market framework provides comprehensive oversight for these trading activities. 

Nest Clearing and Custody Limited handles the clearing operations under the same regulatory umbrella. This structure establishes Binance as the first global crypto exchange with such licensing.

The platform employs sophisticated pricing mechanisms to ensure fair market conditions during 24/7 operations. Price indices aggregate data from multiple vendors, updating every second during standard market hours. 

When traditional markets close, the index holds at its last recorded value for stability. Mark prices continue updating throughout all trading periods using calculated methods.

Risk management systems include deviation constraints between mark prices and index values. Commodity contracts like gold maintain a three percent deviation limit in either direction. 

The platform uses an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average for smoothing futures prices outside regular hours. These measures protect traders from sudden price movements and reduce liquidation risks during off-market periods.
