Binance pushes “super app” model as it adds commodities and expands beyond crypto

Binance has launched gold and silver perpetual contracts, with peak volumes approaching the scale of comparable U.S. benchmark futures. The silver contract’s peak hit close to 40% of the benchmark contract’s volume, while gold perpetuals have amassed aggregate trading volume far above some regional gold futures. The products offer 24/5 access, stablecoin settlement and a lower barrier to entry for users globally, including in emerging markets, reducing frictions tied to traditional commodities investing.
