My people, Binance Futures don expand beyond crypto – now you fit trade traditional assets like gold and silver straight inside the platform
Gold dey trade as XAUUSDT (XAU = gold symbol), Silver na XAGUSDT (XAG = silver). Dem be perpetual futures contracts wey track the price of these precious metals in USDT.
Sweet Advantages Wey #Binance Futures Get Over Traditional Markets
24/7 trading – No close time like forex or commodity exchanges. Trade gold/silver anytime, even midnight!
Lower capital barrier – You no need buy full ounce of gold (wey cost plenty). Start with small margin.
Leverage – Use up to high leverage (check current max for XAU/XAG, like 20x-50x depending on pair) to control bigger position with small money. This mean bigger profit... but also bigger loss if market go against you!
Funding Rates – The Special SauceFor perpetual contracts like these, funding rates dey help keep futures price close to spot price. Every 8 hours (or as e dey), long traders fit pay short, or short pay long – depending on if market dey bullish or bearish.If funding positive, longs pay shorts (good for shorts to hold). If negative, shorts pay longs – sometimes you fit get paid just for holding position open!
