Global cryptocurrency exchange Binance launched a silver futures contract with up to 50x leverage on the 7th (local time).

Binance said it supports silver-based perpetual futures trading. The contract unit is 1 troy ounce and supports up to 50x leverage. A funding fee is charged every four hours for the trades.

CoinDesk said, "This launch came just weeks after Binance began supporting gold-based perpetual futures trading," adding, "it shows that cryptocurrency investors are expanding their investment scope into precious metals."

Binance launched silver-based perpetual futures following gold because precious metal prices have been soaring. Spot silver prices jumped nearly 150% just last year. Global investment bank Bank of America (BofA) recently analyzed that silver prices could rise more than threefold from current levels.
