Binance CEO Richard Teng announced a remarkable increase in weekend trading volumes in traditional asset-based futures. According to data shared by Teng via X, weekend trading volume in the exchange’s perpetual contracts tied to traditional financial assets rose by approximately 300 percent between January and March.
According to the statement, one of the most notable increases occurred during the weekend of February 28 – March 1. During this period, the total trading volume for these products reached $8.1 billion. Teng stated that this growth indicates increased investor demand for access to traditional markets even on weekends.
Binance’s products allow users to access price movements of traditional assets like stocks seamlessly, 24/7. This gives investors the opportunity to trade even when traditional financial markets are closed.
According to experts, this development increases the competition between derivative products offered by crypto exchanges and traditional finance, while also expanding liquidity in the markets. At the same time, this trend, which signals a shift in investor behavior, reveals that financial markets are evolving into an increasingly seamless and global structure.
Richard Teng’s assessments show that crypto platforms are not limited to digital assets but also offer a new transaction infrastructure for traditional financial products.
