Summary
Ten of Binance’s 15 busiest perpetual futures contracts by 24-hour volume now track equities, ETFs or commodities rather than crypto, marking a sharp shift in demand on the exchange.
79-fold growth in weekly stock-linked perpetual volume across centralized exchanges since early 2026 helps explain that shift, with Binance saying it captured about 76% of equity perpetual trading in July.
$6.87 billion in 24-hour volume made the SANDUSDT contract tied to SanDisk the standout performer; Binance said that equaled roughly 22% of SanDisk’s Nasdaq trading volume over the same period.
Silver has also become a major product, with Binance’s XAGUSDT perpetual posting about $826 million in 24-hour turnover.
Binance says the expansion supports its push to become a multi-asset “financial super app,” extending 24/7 crypto-style trading to traditional assets within a single USDT-margined account.
