Bridging traditional and crypto markets
The launch aims to provide continuous, 24/7 exposure to conventional markets while leveraging the flexibility and accessibility of crypto trading.
The first contracts, XAUUSDT and XAGUSDT, correspond to gold and silver. Binance plans to expand the range of TradFi pairs, bridging traditional finance and cryptocurrency markets. The product is offered through Nest Exchange Limited, a Binance entity regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) under the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This makes Binance the first global platform to provide regulated TradFi derivatives settled in stablecoins.
Features and risk management
TradFi Perpetual Contracts are designed with no expiry dates, eliminating the need for contract rollovers and allowing traders to hedge, diversify, or amplify portfolio strategies. Users can leverage positions, applying strategies that suit different risk profiles, while gaining round-the-clock market access beyond traditional trading hours.
Binance employs robust pricing and risk mechanisms to manage volatility. A price index aggregates data from multiple sources, updating every second during market hours. Outside market hours, it remains fixed to maintain stability. Mark prices are smoothed using an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) to prevent abrupt swings, and deviation limits help maintain risk control.
The contracts are accessible on Binance’s web platform, mobile app, and API, providing a seamless user experience across devices. The move reflects Binance’s commitment to expanding product offerings, connecting crypto users with traditional financial instruments, and adhering to high regulatory standards.
Meanwhile, entering 2026, Binance netflow data shows shifting altcoin dynamics. Coins such as ENJ, AMP, and SLP are seeing the highest negative netflows this week, indicating that more tokens are leaving the exchange than entering.
