Recently, a formal announcement from a major exchange has attracted attention— the platform plans to continuously launch more USDT futures contracts for traditional assets.

The exchange has previously launched futures trading pairs for gold and silver. These types of contracts have a clear advantage: they allow trading and settlement directly with stablecoins like USDT, avoiding the complicated account opening procedures and identity verification typical of traditional foreign exchange futures platforms. For many retail investors, this significantly lowers the barrier to entry and is quite convenient.

According to market expectations, high-demand futures products such as crude oil, copper, and aluminum are expected to be launched successively in the near future. As the variety of contracts expands, the channels for participating in traditional asset trading with USDT will become more accessible.

This wave really gives retail investors a chance. In the past, we couldn't even play with these things. The opportunity to make quick money is back. I'm waiting for crude oil futures. The threshold is lower, but the risks are still the same. Be careful of a crash. On-chain traditional assets indeed change the game, but exchanges are still thinking about how to cut the leeks. It's interesting—trading directly with USDT avoids pitfalls, but I don't know how the liquidity is. Just gradually getting us used to it, and then one day the exchange runs away. Is this considered a form of financial innovation, or just a Web3 disguise?

It's the same old story... USDT futures sound pretty good, but the real profiters are still those big players. Retail investors are just waiting to be cut for chives. I bet five bucks this wave will crash and fall.

Hmm... It's another case of traditional assets tokenized in the crypto space, this time it's commodity futures. Wait, is this really more reliable than traditional futures? Or is it just another new way to trap retail investors? USDT futures sound simple, but who bears the leverage risk? That's the real issue. By the way, how's the trading volume for those gold and silver contracts? Are people really taking it seriously? It feels like exchanges are just coming up with new tricks to make us spend more money. Uh... continuing to observe.

This exchange is trying to send us all into the traditional futures trap, but it is indeed more convenient.

Really, now you can directly use USDT to trade traditional assets. It feels like traditional finance has been completely transformed by Web3. --- Retail investors are ecstatic, and exchanges are competing again, but this wave definitely lowers the barriers to entry. --- Wait, crude oil futures are also coming? Then I need to carefully calculate the leverage. --- Basically, it's a hybrid of CEX and traditional futures, but it's really convenient, saving all those annoying verifications. --- Damn, I just remembered the liquidation incident I had before. I need to be more cautious this time. --- The line between the crypto world and Wall Street is becoming increasingly blurred. It's quite interesting. --- USDT has finally found a place to be used. The stablecoin ecosystem is really taking off.

To be honest, this move actually has some substance. Using stablecoins to trade traditional assets truly frees up a lot of people. Wow, no need for those messy documents to open an account anymore. Now that's convenience. If crude oil, copper, and other commodities come into play, retail investors will have another way to make money. Wait, is this just a new trick to harvest retail investors' funds again? But the low threshold is really great. No more hassle with ID verification just to trade futures.

Now they've truly entered traditional assets, and the crypto circle is rolling into the futures market. Crude oil, copper, aluminum—leverage traders are going crazy, but they're just worried about another liquidation wave. Direct settlement with USDT is really cool, but that little risk reserve on the exchange... still makes me a bit nervous. Are futures products becoming more diverse and attractive? Or are the tricks getting deeper? You can trade without opening an account, sounds great, but in reality, those who lose money still end up losing money.

Wow, finally no more getting frustrated with KYC on traditional futures platforms. Just open USDT and go for it. Truly impressive.
