LODZ, Poland, March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BTCC, the world’s longest-serving cryptocurrency exchange, has reported its highest-ever single-day trading volumes in gold and oil, driven by rising demand for safe-haven assets as Middle East instability rattles global markets.
On March 6, 2026, BTCC posted its highest single-day trading volume in both gold and oil. Total gold trading volume across all gold tokens (PAXGUSDT, XAUTUSDT, GOLDUSDT, and XAUUSD) surpassed $60 million in a single day, with XAU on TradFi alone accounting for $34.89 million. Crude oil trading also reached a milestone, with combined USOIL and UKOIL volume hitting $33.19 million on the same day. The surge in volumes signals a sharp acceleration in traders' appetite for commodities as macroeconomic uncertainty deepens.
These figures mark a significant milestone for BTCC TradFi, which launched in February 2026. The platform continues to attract traders seeking seamless access to traditional financial markets through a trusted crypto exchange.
To further support users' trading needs, BTCC recently introduced a zero-fee campaign on gold and silver TradFi pairs for traders looking to hedge against market volatility. Users can also accumulate their TradFi trading volume during the campaign to win up to 10g of gold. For more information about the campaign, please visit the 0-fee campaign page.
Building on this momentum, BTCC TradFi is expanding its suite of commodity trading pairs with the addition of Natural Gas and Copper. The two new listings aim to give traders access to two of the most important commodities in global markets.
The record volumes seen on March 6, 2026 reflect genuine market demand for reliable and accessible commodity trading. With the addition of Natural Gas and Copper trading pairs, BTCC continues to expand the variety of its offerings for users worldwide.
BTCC TradFi is available globally via its mobile app and at btcc.com, offering users exposure to forex, commodities, indices, and stocks, with USDT as the margin, in a regulated, secure trading environment.
