TradFi Perps Dominate Crypto Futures Volume with 28% Market Share

The market for traditional finance (TradFi) perpetuals has experienced rapid growth in 2026, capturing 28% of crypto futures volume on Binance. According to Binance Research, trading volumes of TradFi perps covering Tesla [TSLA] and Apple [AAPL] had a 28.3% market share in July.

The growth has been driven by two factors: capital migration and hedging demand. Over the same period, total crypto futures volume across top exchanges eased slightly from $2.95 trillion to $2.44 trillion.

Younger investors prefer tokenized stocks over TradFi perps, with regular tokenized stocks posting only a 3.2% month-on-month growth in July. In contrast, holders of tokenized stocks have crossed the 1 million-mark for the first time.
