WhiteBIT launches TradeFi with 45+ crypto-settled futures

WhiteBIT announced the launch of TradeFi, a new market category that offers more than 45 perpetual futures contracts linked to commodity, equity and ETF price movements. All positions are margined and settled in USDT and can be traded around the clock from a single WhiteBIT account.

WhiteBIT, described by the company as the largest European cryptocurrency exchange by traffic and part of W Group, made TradeFi available through its existing perpetual futures interface. The product is intended to let users take positions that track price changes in traditional asset classes while keeping collateral and settlement within a crypto-native system.

At launch, the TradeFi line-up includes futures tied to precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium; energy commodities including crude oil and natural gas; industrial metals including copper; individual stocks such as Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla, Coinbase and Robinhood; and broad-market ETFs that track indexes including the S&P 500, the Nasdaq-100, Japan and South Korea equity markets.

Trades use USDT as collateral and settlement currency, which removes the need for users to convert funds into fiat or open separate brokerage accounts to take these positions. The platform supports cross-margined accounts so users can manage crypto and TradeFi exposure from one collateral pool. WhiteBIT said selected instruments offer flexible leverage up to 100x and that the exchange offers competitive spreads.

WhiteBIT described target users as crypto traders seeking exposure to traditional markets without moving capital off-exchange, macro-focused traders who want to respond to inflation data, central bank decisions and earnings outside normal market hours, and investors looking for ways to hedge digital-asset holdings with positions linked to gold or broad market indices.

Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of W Group, noted: “Crypto users today are looking for more flexibility in how they manage capital and market exposure. TradeFi is a natural next step in the evolution of trading platforms — where digital assets and traditional financial markets increasingly coexist within one ecosystem.”

WhiteBIT clarified that TradeFi contracts reflect price movements of the underlying traditional instruments through crypto-based perpetual futures. These contracts do not give holders ownership of the underlying securities or commodities, shareholder rights, physical delivery, or participation in regulated stock or commodity markets.

The company said it plans to add more TradeFi instruments over time to meet user demand for multi-asset trading within a single crypto trading workflow.
