crypto exchanges aren’t looking very crypto-only anymore
been looking at @binance’s perps data and it kinda proves it. 10 of the top 15 perpetual contracts by 24h volume are tied to tradfi assets now, stocks, etfs, commodities. the remaining five are crypto perps, led by btc and other major tokens.
the growth backs it up too. stock-linked perp volume across CEXs is up roughly 79x since the start of 2026, and binance accounted for about 76% of equity perp volume in july.
then there’s the SanDisk number, wild on its own. binance’s $SNDK perp did about $6.87B in 24h volume on aug 19, roughly 22% of SanDisk’s 24h trading volume on Nasdaq.
not just perps either. 7,000+ US stocks and etfs are tradeable directly now, plus tokenized securities and commodity exposure through derivatives.
tradfi moving into crypto used to be a talking point. now it’s just what the data shows.
binance’s tradfi perpetuals are part of that shift, available in select regions.
