🏛️ Wall Street is shifting toward perpetual contract trading on crypto exchanges

According to data from Bloomberg, crypto exchanges are expanding into the 24/7 stock and commodities markets. The explosive growth of perpetual contracts tied to traditional assets is the clearest proof. In August, trading volume for these contracts reached $778 billion, accounting for 23.48% of total perpetual contract activity, up sharply from just 0.5% in November 2025.

Trading volume on centralized exchanges in August reached $665.42 billion, a huge figure compared with $11.58 billion in January. The main reason is that crypto infrastructure allows investors to use leverage to go long or short on assets like Nvidia $NVDA , Tesla $TSLA , gold, or oil at any time, even when traditional markets are closed. Notably, Binance recorded around $433.4 billion in TradFi trading volume, mainly from stock-linked contracts. In addition, Bybit and Hyperliquid $HYPE also became important venues for this speculative activity.
