According to news on January 7, a leading exchange announced that it will officially launch the XAGUSDT perpetual contract at 18:00 (UTC+8) on January 7, 2026. The launch of this product allows investors to participate in trading silver price fluctuations through the cryptocurrency market.
Details of the contract design are noteworthy: each contract represents the spot price of 1 troy ounce of silver, with settlement assets using USDT stablecoin. This setup enables traders to use USDT as margin for leveraged trading of silver without holding physical silver or going through traditional precious metal trading channels.
From a market perspective, the introduction of such derivatives expands the asset class coverage of crypto exchanges. Precious metals have long been regarded as safe-haven assets, and silver, as an important variety, attracts the attention of hedge investors. Through the form of perpetual contracts, traders gain access to an around-the-clock, highly liquid trading entry point.
