A leading exchange just made a bold move into precious metals trading. They're now offering 24/7 USDT-settled gold and silver futures—essentially bringing the always-on, crypto-native trading experience to traditional commodity markets. This isn't just about adding new asset classes; it's about applying Web3's relentless pace and flexibility to sectors that have historically followed rigid market hours. The move signals how crypto platforms are increasingly becoming bridges between the decentralized world and traditional finance, letting traders access precious metals with the same frictionless, round-the-clock mechanics they're used to in digital assets. It's worth watching whether this becomes a template for bringing other traditional markets onto the 24/7 trading model.

24/7 Gold and Silver Futures? Now traditional finance also has to keep up with the pace.

honestly the real play here is watching the basis spreads between spot and futures once this goes live. if they're actually settling in USDT 24/7, the arbitrage windows on london fix will be... spicy. traditional PM traders have no idea what's coming lol

Damn, 24/7 gold futures? Traditional finance is really about to be crushed by Web3. --- JPMorgan is going to have insomnia again haha. --- This is what we want—breaking the shackles of trading hours. --- Wait, can gold also be traded freely like cryptocurrencies? Feels like there will be no market that can't operate 24 hours in the future. --- Finally, someone has modernized old-fashioned assets, just not sure about the liquidity. --- This is true upgrade of traditional finance, not some central bank digital currency stuff. --- I bet five bucks that within three months other exchanges will follow suit. --- Gold futures settled in USDT, sounds a bit crazy but I like it. --- The problem is whether it will be shut down again by some country's regulators, that's a curse.
