A major exchange recently launched an interesting new product category—the Silver(XAG)USDT perpetual contract, with leverage set at 50x, enabling 24/7 trading. This move has attracted widespread attention from the crypto community.

Silver's performance in 2025 has indeed been explosive. Since the beginning of the year, it has surged nearly 150%, soaring from $29 to a historic high of $83. The industrial demand for silver continues to grow, driven by the photovoltaic industry and AI infrastructure development. Additionally, under the trend of de-dollarization worldwide, asset allocation needs have increased, making silver one of the fastest-growing commodities among traditional bulk goods. Previously, crypto traders wanting to participate in silver markets could only do so through traditional financial platforms. Now, they can directly trade using USDT or BTC as margin, elevating liquidity and convenience to a new level.

This is not just a simple addition of a trading product. Last year, a leading exchange launched derivatives contracts for precious metals like gold. Now, expanding into silver clearly indicates a layout for a complete ecosystem of traditional financial commodities. Industry insiders generally predict that contracts for other bulk commodities like crude oil and natural gas may also be launched successively.

Once the trading infrastructure for traditional assets and the crypto market is truly integrated, 24-hour global liquidity can seamlessly connect. The potential for crypto capital to participate in the global bulk commodities market is still very promising. For traders, this innovation not only improves capital efficiency but also introduces new dimensions for risk management.

Playing silver with 50x leverage? Bro, you're either going to make a killing or go bankrupt directly. Silver skyrocketed from 29 to 83, which is indeed outrageous, but a 50x leverage setting is a bit too aggressive. Connecting crypto and traditional assets is the trend, but the risks are also amplified. Small investors should still be cautious. This move has really opened another door for big players. Small funds playing this are just giving away money. I am optimistic about the long-term prospects of silver, but with contracts, you still have to respect risk management.

Playing silver with 50x leverage, isn't that gambling? Haha --- Another traditional asset entering the market, exchanges are really building a big ecosystem --- Silver soared from 29 to 83? Why didn't I catch this train --- With such high leverage, margin calls must be lining up --- 24-hour trading + 50x leverage, this is accelerating retail investors' path to bankruptcy --- Finally no need to mess with traditional platforms, just trade directly with USDT --- Planning the commodities ecosystem, next step is crude oil, I could have guessed it long ago --- This wave of silver market is indeed fierce, but is it a bit late to enter now --- De-dollarization trend + AI demand, the logic for silver still makes sense --- With 50x leverage, I’d rather play spot trading honestly, my heart can't take it --- Connecting traditional assets with crypto is really awesome, liquidity is unbeatable

Playing silver with 50x leverage? How strong must your heart be to withstand that? One reverse move and you'll get liquidated.

Playing silver with 50x leverage, that heartbeat speed... how strong must the heart be? --- Silver skyrocketed from 29 to 83, and you're only now following the trend to enter? This wave of market might be nearing its top. --- Wait, traditional assets are going on-chain one after another. Is the crypto world really about to revolutionize traditional finance? --- With 50x leverage, a big fluctuation can lead to liquidation directly. Is the exchange cutting the leeks or innovating? --- Oil and natural gas are coming soon. It seems commodities are about to be thoroughly transformed by crypto. --- Using BTC as margin to trade silver... this leverage of leverage. Only by understanding it can you make money. --- The surge in silver is crazy, but I still think 50x is too wild. What about risk management? --- Once it's connected, it's connected. Anyway, I will still set stop-losses. Don’t worry about seamless integration. --- The problem is whether liquidity is deep enough. Poor liquidity in small-cap contracts is really a trap. --- Under the trend of de-dollarization, silver surges. I agree with this logic, but don’t be brainwashed by leverage.
