Binance continues to expand its futures product line. According to a company statement, Binance Futures will launch the USDⓈ-backed XAGUSDT Perpetual Futures Contract on January 7, 2026, to increase users’ trading options and enhance the trading experience. The new contract will be available on the Binance Futures platform starting January 7, 2026.
The XAGUSDT perpetual futures contract is based on the price of silver (XAG) in US dollars, with each contract representing 1 troy ounce of silver. The contracts will be settled in USDT.
Binance announced that it will offer investors leverage of up to 50x for this product. This presents significant opportunities, especially for investors looking to profit from short-term price movements, but it also increases the level of risk.
Looking at the technical details, the XAGUSDT contract has a tick size of 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 will be collected every four hours.
The contract in question will be available for trading 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and will support multi-asset trading. Binance officials emphasized that adding commodity-based products like silver to the crypto derivatives market offers investors new opportunities for portfolio diversification. However, experts warn that highly leveraged trading involves significant risks and advise investors to exercise caution.
