Summary
- Binance is launching European-style options on gold and silver, settled in USDT via its ADGM-regulated Nest Exchange, after strong demand for its metals perpetual futures.
- The new contracts reference a benchmark built from multiple third-party price feeds, and retail traders may buy calls and puts but are barred from writing options, limiting their downside to the premium paid.
- Binance says the metals options are part of a broader push to offer compliant, crypto-native exposure to traditional assets and plans to expand the options suite and potentially allow limited retail writing under stricter rules.
