Binance continues to expand its futures product line. According to a company statement, Binance Futures plans to launch the USDⓈ-backed XAGUSDT perpetual futures contract on January 7, 2026 to increase trading options and improve the trading experience for users. The new contract will be available on the Binance futures platform from January 7, 2026.
XAGUSDT perpetual futures contracts are based on silver (XAG) prices in US dollars, with each contract representing one troy ounce of silver. Contracts are settled in USDT.
Binance announced that this product will offer investors up to 50x leverage. This presents great opportunities, especially for investors looking to profit from short-term price fluctuations, but it also increases the level of risk.
Looking at the technical details, the tick size of the XAGUSDT contract is 0.01, while the minimum trade amount is 0.001 XAG. The minimum token value required for trading is 5 USDT. Funding rates are capped at +2% and -2%, and funding fees are collected every 4 hours.
The contract in question will be tradeable 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and will support trading of multiple assets. Binance officials emphasized that adding commodity-based products like silver to the crypto derivatives market provides investors with new opportunities to diversify their portfolios. But experts warn that high-leverage trading comes with significant risks and advised investors to be cautious.
