A new Binance Research report said stablecoins are fast becoming a preferred settlement layer for tokenized TradFi markets while gaining traction in payments and savings.
Stablecoin-settled perpetual contracts tied to traditional financial assets topped $1.1 trillion in trading volume during the first half of 2026, according to Binance Research, underscoring the growing role of stablecoins in tokenized financial markets.
According to Binance Research, stablecoins are increasingly being used to settle TradFi-linked perpetual contracts, a market that’s grown to roughly 11% of all crypto perpetual trading volume in the first five months of 2026.
