BTCC Exchange taps USDT settlement in TradFi platform launch to bridge traditional and crypto markets

• BTCC has launched BTCC TradFi to enable users to trade forex, commodities, indices, and stocks alongside crypto, all margined and settled in USDT
• The move builds on BTCC’s strong tokenized metals performance, including $5.72B in 2025 gold trading volume and a peak daily silver volume of $301M
• The platform offers 25+ instruments, ranging from gold and oil to major indices and tech stocks, with leverage up to 500x.

BTCC, one of the world’s longest-serving cryptocurrency exchanges, has launched BTCC TradFi, a cross-market feature offering users direct access to forex, commodities, indices, and stocks in addition to its precious metals offerings, all margined and settled in USDT.

As of the second quarter of 2025, global forex trading volumes hit a record $9.6 trillion per day, up by 28% from what was recorded in 2022. Precious metals also experienced a major rally, with gold and silver experiencing a meteoric rise in value as more investors looked favorably on them. 

While these markets have been accessible through traditional financial institutions, there has been progress in bringing their offerings into the crypto space, where users are looking for ways to hedge or diversify their portfolios, especially during volatile market conditions. 

BTCC is building on its tokenized precious metals success

The tokenized gold market saw its market capitalization go up by over 117% in 2025, contributing 25% of the net growth recorded in the real-world assets category.

BTCC TradFi is a strategic expansion of the exchange’s multi-asset ecosystem, and it builds on the success of its tokenized precious metal products, where it recorded at some point $301 million in daily trading volume as silver surged amid global uncertainty. 

Throughout 2025, tokenized gold generated $5.72 billion in trading volume on BTCC’s platform, with the fourth quarter seeing the most trading activity, recording an 809% jump in volume over the first quarter. 

The new platform offers several features designed to simplify cross-market trading. Users can trade traditional assets using USDT margin on a single platform, meaning they do not need to switch between different markets and systems. 

All transactions are settled in USDT, removing currency conversion complexity. The exchange offers industry-competitive spreads with flexible leverage up to 500x on select instruments.

What instruments is BTCC offering?

In its first phase, BTCC TradFi offers over 25 instruments that include precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and aluminum; energy commodities such as Brent crude oil and WTI crude oil; global indices including the Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, DAX, and FTSE; forex pairs covering GBPUSD, EURUSD, AUDUSD, and NZDUSD; and major technology stocks including Meta, Tesla, Microsoft, Google, Apple, AMD, Amazon, Nvidia, Oracle, Netflix, and Intel.

Market participants note that cryptocurrency traders seeking gold exposure prefer not to open separate brokerage accounts, while stock traders exploring Bitcoin want to avoid the learning curve of a different platform.

BTCC TradFi is accessible via both web and mobile applications and follows the exchange’s strategic priority to expand into the RWA sector. The platform serves over 11 million users across more than 100 countries.

BTCC continues to build infrastructure connecting traditional financial markets with cryptocurrency trading, with plans to expand asset classes and introduce additional traditional finance instruments in the coming months.
