VILNIUS, Lithuania – January 30, 2026 – BTCC, the world’s longest-running cryptocurrency exchange, announced that its tokenized precious metals futures pairs hit an all-time high daily volume of $301.7 million on January 27, 2026. This came as traders sought exposure to traditional safe-haven assets amid heightened global market volatility.
Top precious metals pairs by volume (January 27, 2026):
- Silver (SILVERUSDT): $245 million, accounting for over 81% of total precious metals volume
- Gold (PAXGUSDT, XAUTUSDT, GOLDUSDT): $56.7 million in combined volume
This brings the total precious metals trading volume on January 27, 2026 to $301.7 million, the highest ever recorded.
The milestone reflects a distinct shift in behavior, as traders actively explore products to address rising macroeconomic uncertainty. The surge in tokenized silver trading volume aligns with updated industrial demand forecasts and safe-haven positioning amid geopolitical tensions.
BTCC’s performance in tokenized real-world assets (RWA) grew rapidly in 2025. Over the year, the exchange logged $53.1 billion in RWA futures volume, with quarterly volume increasing 18-fold from Q1 to Q4. Gold and silver ranked among BTCC’s most-traded products alongside stocks like NVIDIA and Tesla, indicating growing demand for traditional market exposure via crypto-native platforms.
The momentum carries into 2026. BTCC is gearing up to launch TradFi, a comprehensive solution that lets users trade stocks, commodities, indices, and forex alongside crypto from a single account. As the exchange marks its 15th anniversary this year, it remains focused on bridging traditional finance and digital assets for millions of users worldwide.
