Binance Rolls Out Gold and Silver Options After Perpetuals Hit $15B Daily Volume

“We’ve seen strong demand for our commodity perpetuals since introducing them earlier this year, and commodity options build on that momentum,” Shunyet Jan, head of exchange and trading at Binance, said in an email. “With gold hitting record highs and investors seeking inflation hedges outside traditional equities, Binance’s commodity options offer users additional compliant, crypto-native ways to diversify without leaving the platform.”

A Binance representative added that the volume growth suggests user participation can ramp up quickly when access to traditional market exposure becomes simpler and more integrated. “Liquidity can become relevant quickly,” the representative said.

The exchange is pairing the launch with client-education videos and the standard risk disclosures required under the ADGM framework. Binance also plans to expand the options suite to other underlying assets, and is exploring the possibility of limited retail options writing under tighter rules.

Markets repositioned since June, but Binance held roughly 55% of user funds and 24% of spot trading volume, drawing net inflows in early July while the broader tracked market saw outflows.
