- Binance recorded $4.9 trillion BTC futures in 2025, outpacing the 2021 bull market total of $6.5 trillion.
- Ethereum futures trading nears 2024’s $3.7 trillion mark, with $3.6 trillion already posted by Binance in 2025.
- Binance holds the largest share of BTC and ETH derivatives volume, outperforming centralized and decentralized competitors year-to-date.
Binance dominates the BTC and ETH futures arena, having already tallied $4.9 trillion in Bitcoin and $3.6 trillion in Ethereum volume this year.
Unprecedented Bitcoin Futures Activity
Binance posted more than $7.6 trillion in BTC futures trades in 2024, per @Darkfost_Coc’s tweet. In 2025, it has surpassed $4.9 trillion. These figures outstrip its 2021 bull run record of $6.5 trillion. Consequently, Binance remains the prime venue for Bitcoin derivatives.
Moreover, data shows that futures volumes closely track trader risk appetite and market momentum. Compared with Bybit, OKX and Bitget, Binance’s BTC futures lead is far greater. This trend signals steady growth in its trading infrastructure.
Rapid Growth in Ethereum Futures
In 2024, Binance reached $3.7 trillion in ETH futures volume. This year, it nears that total with $3.6 trillion already processed. As a result, Binance continues to set the pace in Ethereum derivatives.
In addition, substantial futures activity indicates continued demand for Ether exposure. Other centralized exchanges have not seen the same volumes as Binance and traders consistently also reciprocate their liquidity preference to Binance for ample clinical and competitive trade terms.
Market Share Across Exchanges
Centralized rivals, including Bybit, OKX, and Bitget, remain distant behind Binance’s futures volumes. Meanwhile, decentralized platform Hyperliquid has achieved $400 billion in 2025. However, that figure represents just a fragment of Binance’s totals.
Furthermore, futures volumes depend on market activity and traders’ risk appetite. As the year progresses, volumes on Binance show no slowdown. Therefore, Binance continues to draw the lion’s share of BTC and ETH derivatives liquidity.
