Phemex TradFi is a product suite that lets you trade price movements in traditional financial assets from the same account you use for crypto. Instead of opening a separate stock or commodity brokerage account, you can access selected perpetual contract contracts directly on Phemex using USDT settlement. Phemex describes TradFi as a way for crypto-native traders to gain exposure to markets like oil, metals, indices, and stocks in a familiar futures-style interface.
What assets are supported?
Phemex TradFi supports derivatives products on:
Commodities including oil (WTI and Brent crude oil)
Indices such as Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500
Forex products are coming soon
These are derivative products, which means you are trading the asset’s price movement rather than buying and owning the underlying barrel of oil, ounce of gold, share of stock, or index basket itself. Phemex’s TradFi futures are designed to give crypto users a simpler way to trade macro and equity themes without leaving the exchange ecosystem.
How does Phemex TradFi work?
Phemex TradFi uses perpetual contract mechanics, similar to crypto derivatives. This means there is no need to manage traditional spot settlement or physical delivery. Phemex TradFi products are settled in USDT and can be traded from the same unified account used for crypto positions.
For users already familiar with crypto derivatives, the experience should feel intuitive: select the TradFi market, choose order size and leverage, and manage the position through the same futures-style workflow used across the platform. TradFi acts a bridge between crypto trading habits and traditional asset exposure.
When can I trade TradFi assets?
Phemex TradFi perpetuals are available 24/7. This is one of the main differences versus many traditional spot markets and exchange-traded products, which often operate only during local market hours. This is possible because users are trading perpetual derivatives linked to the reference asset, not transacting on the underlying stock exchange or commodity venue itself.
That 24/7 structure can be especially useful during fast-moving macro events, such as oil shocks, equity selloffs, or weekend news that affects global markets before traditional venues reopen.
Who is Phemex TradFi for?
Phemex TradFi is intended for users who want broader market exposure without leaving a crypto-native environment. Common use cases include:
Trading oil or metals alongside Bitcoin and altcoins
Taking a view on U.S. equity indices like the Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500
Trading selected stock price movements without opening a traditional brokerage account
Managing cross-asset strategies from one platform and one settlement currency
Important reminder
TradFi products on Phemex are leveraged derivatives and carry market risk. Prices can move quickly, especially during major macro or geopolitical events. Before trading, make sure you understand the contract, leverage setting, margin mode, and liquidation risk.
