Soon after expanding crypto perpetual futures (or “perps”) beyond BTC and ETH, institutional cross-asset platform LMAX Group said that as institutional demand for gold derivatives continues to evolve, it has extended its perpetual futures offering to include Gold (XAUUSD), providing 24/7 exposure within a margin-based instrument.

LMAX said that access outside traditional market hours is becoming increasingly relevant for risk management and hedging strategies.

Designed to support management of weekend gap risk and capital-efficient hedging of existing spot or CFD exposure, the product maintains continuous price exposure without expiry-driven constraints.

LMAX added that the same institutional-grade liquidity, transparency and execution standards are now available across its perpetual futures range.

Jenna Wright, Managing Director – Digital Assets at LMAX Group said,

“Access to gold exposure should not stop when the underlying market closes. For institutions managing exposure across spot and derivatives, continuity is key.

“The extension of our perpetual futures offering to include Gold (XAU/USD) provides 24/7 exposure within a margin-based instrument and supports management of weekend gap risk and capital-efficient hedging of existing spot or CFD exposure.

“As market infrastructure evolves, the priority remains consistency of access.
