BTCC has rolled out BTCC TradFi, a new trading feature that lets users access traditional financial instruments while using USDT as both margin and settlement currency. The setup allows traders to stay inside a crypto-native platform instead of moving funds between exchange accounts and traditional brokerages or converting stablecoins into fiat before opening positions.
In the initial phase, the offering includes more than 25 instruments across five asset classes. Precious metals include gold, silver, platinum, palladium and aluminium pairs. Energy products currently cover Brent and WTI crude oil, while listed equity indices include the Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, DAX and FTSE. The product is built to give crypto users access to multi-asset exposure from a single account structure.
Initial lineup spans FX, commodities, indices and tech equities
BTCC said the forex selection includes GBPUSD, EURUSD, AUDUSD and NZDUSD. On the equity side, the launch focuses on major U.S. technology names such as META, TSLA, MSFT, GOOG, AAPL, AMD, AMZN, NVIDIA, ORCL, NFLX and INTEL. The platform is available on web and mobile, and selected instruments offer leverage of up to 500x, with all trades settled in USDT.
The structure resembles products more commonly associated with CFD and derivatives brokers, but it is being delivered inside a crypto exchange environment. That shift matters. Exchanges are expanding beyond crypto spot and crypto derivatives and are trying to keep users inside one trading venue by widening the range of markets they can access.
Move extends BTCC’s RWA push
The launch also fits BTCC’s broader strategy around real-world assets. According to the report, the exchange’s earlier activity in tokenised precious metals generated $5.72 billion in trading volume during 2025. Volumes in the fourth quarter rose sharply from the first quarter, pointing to stronger demand from crypto traders seeking exposure to traditional assets through digital market infrastructure.
For BTCC, the use of USDT simplifies collateral and settlement within a crypto-based operating model. For traders, it creates a way to use one stablecoin to access several market segments at once. The company says it has more than 11 million users globally, and the new product comes as competition between exchanges intensifies around cross-asset trading flows.
High leverage broadens access but raises risk
The expansion also brings a clear trade-off. Leverage of up to 500x can sharply increase risk, especially during volatile macro conditions. As exchanges move deeper into traditional asset classes, risk controls and regulatory issues are likely to carry more weight. BTCC TradFi adds another sign that the line separating crypto exchanges from multi-asset trading venues is getting thinner.
