Crypto Exchanges Are Quietly Becoming Full Financial Marketplaces

More and more exchanges are starting to look beyond pure crypto trading and move toward offering access to traditional financial markets like metals, forex, and indices. This shift reflects a growing demand from traders who want to manage macro risk and diversify their exposure without having to juggle multiple platforms or go through slow, traditional broker setups.

A strong example of this trend is Bitget TradFi, which launched with more than 200 trading pairs across metals, forex, indices, and commodities and has already reached around $2 billion in trading volume. At the same time, Binance has begun expanding into TradFi as well, starting with gold and silver. While their rollout strategies differ, both platforms are moving in the same direction building bridges between crypto and traditional financial markets.
