BTCC, the longest-operating crypto exchange globally, recorded its highest-ever daily volume for tokenized precious metals on January 27, 2026, reaching $301.7 million. The surge reflects growing investor interest in safe-haven assets amid escalating macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.
Silver futures led the activity on the platform, with SILVERUSDT alone generating $245 million, over 80 percent of the total daily volume. Gold-based tokens, including PAXGUSDT, XAUTUSDT, and GOLDUSDT, accounted for a combined $56.7 million.
The volume spike comes amid rising industrial demand for silver and a broader market trend toward real-world assets (RWAs) on blockchain infrastructure. In 2025, BTCC processed $53.1 billion in RWA futures trading, with quarterly volume increasing 18 times between the first and fourth quarters. Tokenized metals and equities such as NVIDIA and Tesla have become core offerings for users seeking traditional asset exposure through a crypto-native environment.
This momentum continues into 2026 as BTCC prepares to launch “TradFi,” an all-in-one product allowing users to trade across asset classes, including stocks, commodities, indices, forex, and crypto, via a single account. Now in its 15th year, the exchange is advancing efforts to unify traditional and digital markets and responding to growing demand for hybrid financial solutions.
