Traditional finance and crypto are no longer separate worlds. With Futures, you can now trade major traditional assets like gold and top US tech stocks directly from your crypto account. No waiting for Wall Street to open, no need for a traditional broker, and no physical ownership required. Everything settles in USDT and runs 24/7.
These are futures contracts, which means you’re trading the price movement, not owning the real stock or metal. That flexibility opens new opportunities but also comes with higher risk, especially if you use leverage.
Let’s break down the 12 TradFi assets available and what makes each one interesting
Precious Metals
Gold XAU
Gold has been a store of value for thousands of years. Traders often move into gold during inflation, economic uncertainty, or market crashes. The XAUUSDT contract lets you speculate on gold prices without buying physical gold or worrying about storage.
Silver XAG
Silver plays two roles. It is both a precious metal and an industrial material used in electronics and solar panels. Because of this, silver tends to be more volatile than gold, which can create bigger price swings for traders.
Platinum XPT
Platinum is rare and heavily used in the automotive industry, especially in catalytic converters. Its price often reflects industrial demand and the overall health of manufacturing sectors.
Palladium XPD
Palladium is another key industrial metal. Supply constraints and mining output can cause sharp price movements. It’s known for strong rallies when shortages hit the market.
Crypto Related and Financial Stocks
Strategy MSTR
is widely recognized for holding large amounts of Bitcoin. Many traders see MSTR as a leveraged way to gain exposure to Bitcoin through the stock market.
Coinbase COIN
operates one of the largest crypto exchanges in the United States. Its stock price often moves alongside crypto market trends and regulatory developments.
Robinhood HOOD
became famous for commission free trading. HOOD often reflects retail investor activity and trading excitement in both stocks and crypto.
Circle CRCL
is known for issuing USDC. Trading CRCL contracts allows speculation on the growth of stablecoins and digital payment infrastructure.
Big Tech and Innovation
Tesla TSLA
is a leader in electric vehicles and innovation. TSLA is known for strong volatility driven by earnings, technology updates, and market sentiment.
Amazon AMZN
dominates online shopping and cloud computing. Trading AMZN gives exposure to global consumer spending and digital infrastructure growth.
Palantir PLTR
focuses on big data and AI solutions. It attracts traders who believe in long term growth of analytics and defense technology.
Intel INTC
produces chips that power computers, data centers, and many digital systems. The semiconductor industry plays a critical role in AI, gaming, and crypto mining.
Final Thoughts
The addition of TradFi assets to Binance Futures makes global markets more accessible than ever. You can trade gold, major stocks, and tech giants from the same account you use for crypto.
But always remember these are derivatives. You do not own the actual stock or metal. Leverage can amplify profits but it can also increase losses quickly. Smart risk management and a clear plan are essential before entering any trade.
