Cryptocurrency exchange BingX has launched contract-for-difference trading, expanding its offering into traditional financial markets.

The launch follows similar moves by other crypto-focused platforms into traditional markets. Last year, Nexo launched CFDs on forex, commodities and stock indices through MT5, while Bybit introduced TradFi products covering forex, gold, indices, commodities and stock CFDs. The moves point to a broader expansion by crypto platforms into multi-asset trading.

Lee said the CFD offering brings "traditional-market exposure into the same ecosystem as crypto". He added that the company would focus on "broader access alongside transparency, responsible trading, and effective risk management."

BingX said the products are available only to eligible users. The announcement did not specify the jurisdictions where the CFDs are available or provide a detailed list of instruments within each asset class.
