5 min readPrimeXBT continues to evolve with traders in mind. MT5 users can now trade new BTC, ETH, XAU, and XAG trading pairs, unlocking new ways to connect crypto, precious metals, and global currencies.
The update introduces instruments such as BTC/EUR, BTC/XAU, ETH/GBP, ETH/JPY, XAU/XAG, XAU/JPY, and XAG/EUR, allowing traders to explore more combinations and correlations across digital assets, commodities, and major fiat pairs.
These additions make it easier to build multi-asset strategies, from trading Bitcoin or Ethereum strength against major fiat currencies like EUR, GBP, and JPY, to managing exposure between digital assets and safe havens such as gold and silver.
Traders can also explore new correlation and hedge opportunities – for example, by analysing relationships between BTC/XAU or XAU/XAG. The gold–silver ratio in particular remains a popular barometer of market sentiment within commodities.
Available pairs and leverage
The update includes a total of 12 new crypto pairs and 17 commodity pairs. Leverage is available up to 1:500 for crypto-based pairs and up to 1:1000 for precious metals, with exact limits varying between MT5 Standard/ZeroStop and MT5 Pro accounts.
