What Are TradFi Futures?

TradFi futures are derivative products that track the prices of traditional financial assets, including stocks and precious metals like gold and silver. These futures follow the same trading mechanics used for Phemex crypto perpetual futures, which makes them familiar to existing futures traders.

Key characteristics:

Price-based derivatives, you trade price movements rather than owning the underlying asset
No spot trading or ETFs involved, these products are purely derivatives
The same core mechanics as crypto futures, including margin, leverage, and liquidation logic

If you already trade perpetual futures on Phemex, the learning curve here is minimal.

What Assets Are Available?

At launch, TradFi futures on Phemex support a focused set of traditional assets:

Asset Type	Examples
Stocks	Select equity futures
Precious Metals	Gold, Silver

Additional asset categories are planned for future updates as the product expands.

Key Features

1）24/7 Trading

TradFi futures can be traded at any time, regardless of traditional stock market hours. This includes periods that normally limit access to equities, such as:

US stock market open and close times
Pre-market and after-hours sessions
Weekends and public holidays

You can place orders, hold positions, and manage risk continuously within the Phemex futures system.

2）Margin-Based Trading

TradFi futures use a margin trading model similar to crypto perpetuals:

There is no need to purchase the full notional value of an asset
Leverage can be applied to increase position size
Both long and short positions are supported

Margin levels and liquidation risk depend on your margin ratio and Phemex’s platform risk controls. As with any leveraged product, risk management plays a central role.

3）Unified Futures Experience

TradFi futures use the same interface, order types, and risk logic as crypto futures on Phemex. This means:

No separate trading interface to learn
Familiar order types such as Market, Limit, and Conditional
The same margin and liquidation framework

For users already active in crypto futures, this consistency removes unnecessary friction.
