Binance Dominates Traditional Asset Trading with Multi-Asset Perpetual Contracts

Binance's shift towards traditional asset trading is gaining momentum, as its multi-asset perpetual contracts now control 76% of equity perpetual volume. This represents a significant change for a platform built around digital tokens.

The top 15 perpetual contracts by 24-hour volume on Binance are dominated by traditional assets such as equities and commodities. The SANDUSDT contract, which tracks SanDisk, led the list with over $6.87 billion in trading volume, accounting for about 22% of SanDisk's own 24-hour volume on Nasdaq.

Weekly stock-linked perpetual volume has increased by 79 times since the start of 2026, with Binance capturing about 76% of that flow in July. This surge is attributed to Binance's rapid expansion into traditional-asset perpetuals, which includes gold and silver perpetuals launched in January 2026, ETF-linked perpetuals introduced in March, and tokenized securities added on June 11.

Binance aims to build a multi-asset financial platform where users can access both crypto and traditional asset classes within a single account. By offering USDT-margined perpetual contracts on equities, ETFs, and commodities, Binance enables round-the-clock trading on assets that were traditionally restricted to fixed market hours.
