Press Release

BTCC, the world’s longest-serving cryptocurrency exchange, announced that its tokenized precious metals futures pairs reached an all-time high of $301.7 million in daily volume on January 27, 2026, as traders sought exposure to traditional safe-haven assets amid heightened global market volatility.

Top precious metals pairs by volume (January 27, 2026):

  • Silver (SILVERUSDT): $245 million, representing over 81% of total precious metals volume
  • Gold (PAXGUSDT, XAUTUSDT, GOLDUSDT): $56.7 million combined

This brings the total trading volume of precious metals on January 27, 2026, to $301.7 million, the highest on record.

The milestone reflects a clear behavioural shift, as traders actively explore products to address the rise in macroeconomic uncertainty. The spike in tokenized silver trading volume aligns with renewed industrial demand forecasts and safe-haven positioning amid geopolitical tensions.

BTCC’s performance in tokenized real-world assets (RWA) has accelerated rapidly in 2025. Throughout the year, the exchange recorded $53.1 billion in RWA futures volume, with quarterly volume growing 18-fold from Q1 to Q4. Gold and silver ranked among BTCC’s most-traded products alongside stocks such as NVIDIA and Tesla, reflecting growing demand for traditional market exposure via crypto-native platforms.

The momentum extends into 2026. BTCC is preparing to launch TradFi, a comprehensive solution that enables users to trade stocks, commodities, indices, and forex alongside crypto from a single account. As the exchange celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, it remains focused on bridging traditional finance and digital assets for millions of users worldwide.
