At the AI ​​Open Source Frontier Forum of the "Artificial Intelligence Theme Day" at the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Meeting, Luo Fuli, head of Xiaomi MiMo's large-scale model, stated, "In the longer term, due to the rapid progress of large-scale models themselves, and with the support of a better agent framework, we can see our inference needs. I believe that what has already happened this year is that there has been nearly a 10-fold increase in the past period. So, will the overall token growth reach 100 times this year? Then we have entered another dimension of competition, which is computing power, or inference chips, and even down to energy." (Jinshi)

Binance Blog published a new article, introducing Binance's TradFi Perpetual Contracts, which offer institutional desks 24/7 market access, instant settlement, and capital-efficient leverage on both digital and traditional assets from a single platform. This development brings commodities, stocks, and indices into the infrastructure already used for crypto derivatives. With a global license from the FSRA under Abu Dhabi Global Market and regulatory approvals across 20 jurisdictions, Binance provides institutional-grade compliance and liquidity. Institutional trading in traditional finance (TradFi) operates within fixed boundaries, with markets opening at set hours. When macro events occur over the weekend, even the most well-resourced desks have limited options until Monday morning. Much of this infrastructure was inherited from legacy systems built decades before always-on electronic trading became the norm. Perpetual futures contracts, or perps, offer an alternative. First proposed by economist Robert Shiller in 1992, perps have become the dominant derivatives instrument on centralized crypto exchanges by volume, trading 24/7, settling instantly, and not expiring. The article discusses the limitations of TradFi infrastructure, how perps can complement an institutional trading strategy, and why more firms are integrating them into their workflows. The friction points of legacy markets are well known. Equity and commodity exchanges enforce fixed trading windows, creating gaps where capital sits idle. For instance, COMEX gold futures stop trading at 17:00 ET on Fridays and don't reopen until 18:00 on Sunday, leaving a roughly 49-hour window during which a portfolio with leveraged gold exposure has no mechanism to hedge or adjust. Another consideration is cost structure. Traditional deliverable futures, or dated futures in TradFi, involve clearing fees, prime brokerage costs, and the operational overhead of managing roll schedules and rollover slippages as contracts approach expiry. Firms trading both digital assets and TradFi markets often manage positions across different platforms and account structures, leading to duplicated compliance workflows, fragmented collateral pools, and more operational overhead than a unified system. Perpetual futures contracts are derivatives that track the price of an underlying asset without a fixed expiration date. Unlike deliverable futures, which require monitoring expiry schedules and rolling positions forward, a perp contract stays open until the trader closes it. The price stays anchored to the underlying spot market through a funding rate mechanism, typically every eight hours. Binance's TradFi Perpetual Contracts apply the perp model to TradFi assets, including indices like iShares MSCI South Korea and MSCI Japan ETFs, commodities like gold and silver, and select stocks such as Tesla and Intel. All contracts settle in USDT, with availability and supported symbols varying by region. During the underlying market’s hours, pricing is driven by a real-time Price Index pulling from multiple data sources. When markets for the underlying asset close, the Price Index is fixed at its last recorded value, and the Mark Price transitions to an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average of futures price, with hard caps to prevent drift. For institutional desks, this directly addresses off-hours gap risk, the same exposure that traditional infrastructure leaves unmanaged. A single Binance account provides access to both crypto derivatives and TradFi exposure, with more time to act on macro events than traditional exchange hours allow. Binance VIP’s fee structures are also among the industry’s most competitive. Cumulative activity on TradFi Perpetual Contracts reflects growing adoption, with both cumulative trading volume and total trades processed on Binance rising sharply since launch. Binance holds regulatory licenses and registrations across 20 jurisdictions, serving over 310 million users globally. TradFi Perpetuals are offered under Nest Exchange Limited, a Binance entity licensed by ADGM's Financial Services Regulatory Authority. Binance has invested heavily in compliance infrastructure to build a world-class compliance program, ensuring the security of user funds and promoting a safe trading environment. As part of this effort, Binance has significantly expanded its compliance headcount and continues to invest in law-enforcement cooperation and capacity-building. Binance maintains the Secure Asset Fund for Users as an emergency insurance reserve and publishes regular proof-of-reserves that demonstrate 1:1 backing of user assets.
