Binance now offers TradFi Perpetual Contracts, letting you speculate on price movements of stocks, ETFs, and commodities without owning the underlying asset. Settled in USDT, these contracts use the same interface as crypto perpetuals with market, limit, stop-loss, and take-profit orders.
Positions have no expiration, you can hold long-term, use leverage to amplify gains or losses, and switch between crypto perps and TradFi perps within a single account without moving funds.
During regular trading hours, prices track a real-time Price Index updated every second. Off-hours, the Mark Price uses an EWMA with ±3% caps to limit sudden gaps and reduce risk.
Current offerings include gold, silver, Tesla, Intel, and ETFs like MSCI South Korea and MSCI Japan. These derivatives track prices only and are not affiliated with the actual companies or issuers.
Users benefit from managing multiple asset types in one account, diversification, fast reactions to news, high liquidity, and regulated operations via Nest Exchange Limited (ADGM FSRA).
Risks include high volatility, leverage magnifying losses, no ownership of the underlying asset, possible off-hour price gaps, and regional restrictions. Only trade what you can afford to lose.
Getting started: Binance → Futures → TradFi tab → select contract → choose long/short and leverage → place order. Beginners should start small, use low/no leverage, and set stop-loss/take-profit.
