Binance Futures has broadened its derivatives roster by launching Traditional Asset XAU perpetual contracts under the TradFi Perps banner, per official December disclosures. This cross‑asset expansion brings spot gold exposure to a regulated crypto venue, preserving familiar trading mechanics while adding a distinct asset class. The move aligns with ongoing efforts to diversify crypto derivatives offerings beyond conventional crypto pairs.

Operationally, TradFi Perps differ from 24/7 crypto perpetuals by aligning with traditional markets, where XAU trades on a 24/5 cycle with a one-hour maintenance window. Traders should anticipate scheduled or unscheduled closures, which can affect liquidity, price discovery, and risk controls on the platform.
