USDT Is Becoming the Margin Currency for Crypto, Stocks, and Commodities

Every contract in Binance’s newly launched gold and silver options suite margins and settles in USDT.

• Binance is now using USDT as the margin and settlement currency for its gold and silver options, allowing traders to use existing crypto balances for these traditional assets.
• This move simplifies trading by removing currency conversion steps and bank hour dependencies, enabling 24/7 trading of commodity derivatives.
• The adoption of stablecoins like USDT as collateral is seen as a significant step towards integrating traditional finance with crypto markets, potentially attracting institutional capital.
