APIA, Samoa, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Phemex, a user-first crypto exchange, today launched Phemex TradFi, a new futures product that offers 24/7 access to traditional financial assets, beginning with stock and precious metals futures. Futures tied to commodities, foreign exchange, and global indices will follow in later phases.
Phemex TradFi lets traders manage exposure to both crypto and traditional assets within a single, USDT-settled futures framework. To drive early adoption, Phemex is running a 0-Fee TradFi Futures Carnival: three months of zero trading fees on stock futures starting Feb. 6, a $100,000 incentive pool for structured, risk-conscious participation, and a first-trade protection that reimburses eligible users with a trading bonus if their inaugural TradFi futures trade incurs a loss.
Unlike spot markets that close outside regular exchange hours, TradFi futures continue price discovery around the clock. By offering these derivatives in a crypto-native environment, Phemex enables traders to react to global macro events during nights, weekends, or market closures without switching platforms or settlement systems.
Phemex TradFi emphasizes simplicity and continuity. Traders can run crypto and traditional futures side by side, benefit from transparent maker-taker pricing rather than spread-based execution, and use strategy-driven tools for systematic risk management. Copy trading support for TradFi futures is planned, extending Phemex’s strategy trading ecosystem into traditional markets.
“As markets become more connected and operate beyond fixed sessions, platforms need to evolve with them,” said Federico Variola, CEO of Phemex. “Our goal with Phemex TradFi is not to replicate traditional markets, but to rethink how they are accessed — bringing continuous availability, unified settlement, and risk-aware tools into a single trading environment that reflects how traders actually operate today.”
The TradFi futures rollout marks Phemex’s expansion from a crypto-native exchange into a broader multi-market derivatives platform designed for always-on global markets. As additional asset classes are added, Phemex aims to provide a more integrated, resilient, and forward-looking route for traders across digital and traditional finance.
