Crypto TradFi Market Booms to $1.3 Trillion in First Half of 2026

The crypto TradFi market has entered an explosive growth phase in 2026, with cumulative trading volumes exceeding $1.3 trillion in the first half of the year.

This represents a tenfold increase from the total trading volume for the entire previous year and reflects the resonance between cryptocurrency exchanges' early layouts of TradFi products and trends in traditional financial markets.

The majority of this growth comes from derivatives, which accounted for 98.59% of the trading volume in the first half of 2026, with spot trading making up less than 1.5%.

Binance led the market share at 68.3%, but its dominance is declining, with OKX rising to second place and other exchanges such as Hyperliquid and Gate gaining ground.
