Binance to Launch Gold and Silver European Options, Settled in USDT

Binance will launch Gold and Silver European options, settled in USDT, through Nest Exchange, which is regulated by ADGM. There has been strong demand for Binance's precious metals perpetual futures ahead of this product launch. The new contracts reference a benchmark derived from multiple third-party price sources. Retail investors can buy call and put options, but are not permitted to sell options, with their downside risk limited to the premium paid. Binance stated that the metal options are part of its plan to offer compliant, crypto-native exposure to traditional assets. Binance intends to expand its options product line and may allow retail investors to sell options on a limited basis under stricter regulations.
