Binance enables 24/7 access to crypto and traditional markets
The crypto exchange Binance has enabled 24/7 access to both cryptocurrency and traditional markets, offering traders perpetual futures contracts on precious metals, stocks, and index ETFs. This was stated in a release provided to Incrypted.
Bridging traditional and crypto markets
The release cites a report by DL Research, according to which the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market grew from $4.3 billion to $22 billion since March 2025. This reflects growing demand for round-the-clock access to traditional markets, the organization noted.
As capital shifts toward faster, more efficient, and composable financial infrastructure, platforms with deep liquidity and easy access are becoming increasingly in demand. Binance, according to the release, sits at the intersection of these flows.

Binance makes commodities accessible anytime, anywhere
This asset class is particularly well-suited for 24/7 trading, as it is available through liquid instruments such as ETFs, options, and perpetual futures, the company said.
This is supported by market data. Over the past year, the commodities sector within the RWA segment grew from $1.1 billion to $6.4 billion. It is now the second-largest category, with U.S. Treasury bonds in first place.
Previously, accessing commodities, stocks, and crypto assets required separate platforms, but now one is sufficient. Binance offers access to:
- gold (XAU/$USDT);
- silver (XAG/$USDT);
- stocks such as Tesla (TSLA/$USDT) and Intel (INTC/$USDT);
- index ETFs including MSCI Japan (EWJ/$USDT) and South Korea (EWY/$USDT).

Impact on price discovery
According to the release, Binance plays a significant role in price discovery for traditional assets. Over several months, trading volume in perpetual RWA futures exceeded $153 billion, with 113 million trades executed.
Thanks to 24/7 trading of assets such as gold and silver, the exchange provides real-time global price discovery. This allows traders to respond to events and demand continuously, rather than only during traditional market hours.
