Binance Launches USDT-Settled Gold and Silver Perpetual Futures
On Jan. 8, 2026 Binance introduced USDT-settled perpetual futures for gold and silver, enabling traders to speculate on precious metals without leaving the stablecoin ecosystem. The contracts provide an on-ramp for crypto-native users seeking price exposure to traditional safe-haven assets, and come as institutional and retail interest in metals has climbed amid macro uncertainty.
This launch expands Binance’s derivatives offering and could draw additional liquidity from stablecoin-based flows, while giving traders new hedging tools across asset classes. Market participants should watch volumes and funding rates to gauge adoption, and be mindful that price behavior may still track macro drivers and regulatory developments affecting both crypto and commodity markets.
