RabbitX, Paxos Launch 24/7 Gold Futures with Zero Fees

RabbitX, a decentralized futures exchange, has joined forces with Paxos, a regulated blockchain infrastructure firm, to introduce 24/7 perpetual gold futures. This innovative offering is powered by the Paxos Gold (PAXG) token, providing investors with continuous access to gold, one of the world's oldest safe-haven assets, through a blockchain-native framework. Investors can now trade gold futures at any time, including weekends and holidays, with real-time settlement and zero trading fees.

Historically, investing in gold has involved navigating intermediaries, restricted trading hours, and manual settlement processes. RabbitX and Paxos are addressing these challenges by offering on-chain gold futures backed 1:1 by physical gold. PAXG, issued by Paxos Trust Company, is held in secure vaults and undergoes regular audits, ensuring transparency and efficiency. Traders can now gain exposure to gold price movements without taking custody of the metal itself, thanks to this decentralized and transparent approach.

"This launch marks a leap forward in how commodities like gold are traded," said Ming Wu, Founder of RabbitX. "We're giving traders around the world unrestricted access to a historically stable asset — now in a faster, more transparent format."

The launch of this service comes at a time of heightened macroeconomic uncertainty, with inflation, banking instability, and geopolitical tensions impacting global markets. Gold remains a go-to asset for preserving value, and offering gold futures on a decentralized platform meets the growing demand from crypto-native investors looking to hedge with real-world assets without exiting the digital ecosystem.

RabbitX's platform operates across multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Blast. With over 100,000 connected wallets and deep liquidity for popular pairs like BTC and ETH, the addition of PAXG marks a strategic expansion into the real-world asset (RWA) sector. "This is about bringing traditional assets into the digital age," said Ronak Daya, Head of Product at Paxos. "Our partnership with RabbitX is a natural extension of our mission to modernize financial infrastructure and make financial products more accessible."

The PAXG perpetual futures allow users to take long or short positions on the price of gold without expiration. Trades are executed on-chain, and margining, liquidation, and funding payments are all handled algorithmically, removing human error and centralized risk. With no middlemen involved, users benefit from complete transparency, self-custody of funds, and real-time access to market data. RabbitX has also introduced cross-margining, allowing traders to manage risk across assets more efficiently.

RabbitX's move sets the stage for a broader transformation in trading real-world assets. As regulators and investors grow more comfortable with asset-backed tokens and on-chain finance, this model could extend beyond gold to include oil, equities, and more. For now, the partnership offers a powerful signal: the lines between traditional and decentralized finance are not just blurring, they're being redrawn entirely.
