Both are designed to track the market price of gold and silver, respectively.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1150\" data-end=\"1490\">Instead of physical settlement, positions are settled in Tether\u2019s USDT stablecoin, giving traders onchain exposure to precious metals pricing while remaining within a crypto-based settlement system.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1492\" data-end=\"1524\">Settlement and market access<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1922\">By settling the contracts in USDT, Binance is extending the use of stablecoins beyond crypto-native assets into traditional commodity-linked products.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1922\">This structure allows traders to gain price exposure without converting funds into fiat currencies or commodity-backed instruments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1922\">It also removes the need for storage, delivery, or custody arrangements associated with physical gold and silver.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"2255\">The approach highlights how derivatives are being used to mirror traditional financial markets inside crypto trading platforms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"2255\">Binance has indicated that additional contracts linked to traditional assets are planned, suggesting that commodities and other non-crypto markets may feature more prominently in future product rollouts.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2257\" data-end=\"2294\">Regulatory framework in Abu Dhabi<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2296\" data-end=\"2586\">The gold and silver perpetuals are offered through Next Exchange Limited, a Binance entity operating under the Abu Dhabi Global Market framework.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2296\" data-end=\"2586\">The contracts fall under the supervision of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority, with Binance holding the relevant licences within ADGM.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2588\" data-end=\"2965\">This regulatory setup is central to Binance\u2019s effort to expand its derivatives catalogue while maintaining compliance in key jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2588\" data-end=\"2965\">Abu Dhabi has also become relevant for stablecoin usage, with USDT approved for use by regulated companies in the emirate, even as Tether has chosen not to seek authorisation under the European Union\u2019s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2967\" data-end=\"3004\">Competition and safe haven demand<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3006\" data-end=\"3385\">Binance is not alone in offering precious metals-linked perpetual contracts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3006\" data-end=\"3385\">Other exchanges active in this segment include Coinbase, MEXC, BTCC, BingX, and Bybit, although Bybit currently limits its offering to gold-linked perpetuals.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3006\" data-end=\"3385\">The growing number of platforms listing such products points to rising interest in blending commodity exposure with crypto derivatives trading.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3387\" data-end=\"3785\">The timing of Binance\u2019s launch aligns with a period of heightened demand for safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3387\" data-end=\"3785\">Both gold and silver have recently climbed to new all-time highs, driven by investor appetite for assets perceived as stores of value.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3387\" data-end=\"3785\">By enabling trading in these markets via USDT-settled perpetuals, Binance is tapping into that demand while keeping activity within its existing derivatives ecosystem.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Markets,Binance,gold,silver,Stablecoin,Tether News,USDT#Binance #launches #gold #silver #perpetual #futures #expansion #crypto1767885557<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Products listed as XAUUSDT and XAGUSDT are designed to track gold and silver prices onchain.
