Binance Introduces Gold and Silver Perpetuals Under Futures Platform

Binance has introduced USDT-margined perpetual futures contracts for gold (XAUUSDT) and silver (XAGUSDT), allowing users to trade price exposure to these commodities alongside crypto assets under a regulated framework. The contracts are classified as TradFi Perpetual Contracts, with settlements in USDT and listings within the Binance Futures platform under a dedicated 'TradFi' category.

The launch marks a convergence of traditional commodities and crypto trading, regulated through Binance's unit Nest Exchange Limited under Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority. The gold contract launched on January 5, 2026, followed by the silver contract on January 7, 2026.

Binance continues to diversify its regulated product offering to include traditional asset classes, building on its existing crypto derivatives mechanics. This move is part of Binance's strategy to expand its offerings and increase user engagement.
