Following gold futures, a leading crypto exchange has taken a new step — silver futures contracts are now officially live. The trading and settlement are done using USDT stablecoin, with leverage ratios up to 50x.

Looking at the exchange's contract section now, TradFi already has two commodities: gold and silver. Many insiders are speculating that the next move will be the launch of crude oil futures. From precious metals to energy commodities, this trend seems to be becoming more and more obvious — exchanges are moving traditional financial assets onto the blockchain, using cryptocurrencies as a means to trade them.

50x leverage, can't afford to play, afraid of liquidation --- It's starting to get competitive again. Do people really use on-chain trading for precious metals? --- The idea of bringing traditional assets on-chain has been around for a while. Just unsure about the liquidity. --- Silver? I'm still waiting for crude oil. Now that's real excitement. --- USDT settlement. Fine, but risk management is still necessary. --- Exchanges want to move everything on-chain. What about our core competitiveness? --- 50x leverage, is this about giving away money? I don't get it.

50x leverage? Are you trying to make me rich overnight or bankrupt overnight haha --- Silver futures are already up, crude oil is not far behind, let's wait and see this move --- On-chain traditional assets have become a certainty, this is the real Web3 implementation --- USDT settlement is comfortable to use, but 50x leverage can really be deadly --- The exchange is playing a big game, slowly eroding the traditional financial territory --- Another 50x and precious metals, when will this leek cutting stop --- Wait, if that's the case, does price fluctuation still matter? Just trade commodities directly --- Finally, I can trade precious metals futures with stablecoins, avoiding the hassle of going to the exchange --- Gold and silver are all set, next should be crude oil, no escape

50x leverage? Isn't this just an upgraded version of a casino? I'm still just watching passively.
