Catenaa, Monday, February 16, 2026-Phemex, a crypto exchange, launched Phemex TradFi, a new futures trading service offering continuous access to traditional financial assets, including stocks and precious metals.

The platform plans to add futures for commodities, forex, and global indices in later phases.

The move allows traders to manage exposure to crypto and traditional markets within a single USDT-settled futures framework.

To encourage adoption, Phemex is running a 0-Fee TradFi Futures Carnival for three months, starting February 6, featuring zero trading fees on stock futures, a $100,000 incentive pool for structured participation, and first-trade protection that reimburses eligible users for initial losses.

TradFi futures on Phemex operate outside conventional market hours, enabling continuous price discovery and allowing traders to react to macro events during nights, weekends, or market closures without switching platforms.

The system uses transparent maker-taker pricing rather than spreads and integrates strategy-driven tools for risk management.

Copy trading for TradFi futures is planned, extending Phemex’s existing strategy trading ecosystem into traditional assets.

CEO Federico Variola said the platform aims to reflect how modern traders operate, offering continuous availability, unified settlement, and risk-aware features.

The launch positions Phemex as a multi-market derivatives hub, bridging crypto and traditional finance under one interface while preparing to add further asset classes.

The introduction of TradFi futures marks Phemex’s evolution from a crypto-native exchange into a broader derivatives platform capable of supporting global, always-on markets, combining accessibility, transparency, and tools for both novice and professional traders.
