The crypto derivatives market in 2025 is booming. The total trading volume across the entire market has already reached approximately $85.7 trillion, with daily trading volumes stabilizing around $264.5 billion, setting a new all-time high. In simple terms, more and more people are rushing into this space.



Leading industry exchanges are reaping the biggest benefits from this growth due to their competitive advantages. For example, a top-tier exchange's derivatives trading volume last year exceeded $25 trillion, capturing a market share of 29.3%. The logic behind this is clear—strong order books, a wide variety of trading products, and a comprehensive risk control system. These hard strengths attract both institutional and retail investors in large numbers. As a result, the advantages of top platforms become increasingly apparent, with liquidity and user base forming a protective moat.

This growth trend actually reflects a larger change: the crypto market is maturing. The previous era of purely speculative coin trading is gradually cooling down, and more people are starting to take risk management seriously, using derivatives tools to hedge risks or increase returns. For investors looking to participate, choosing a compliant, stable platform is indeed more reassuring. But the prerequisite is to allocate assets reasonably based on one's risk appetite and experience level—avoid blindly following the trend—only then can one truly benefit from the market’s growth.

Top exchanges are eating the big chunks, retail investors are drinking the soup... The numbers look good, but how many are actually making real money?

Top-tier exchanges do indeed benefit from dividends, but honestly, does deep liquidity really mean safety? I’m not so sure... Still need to do your own research.

Head exchanges are just cutting leeks. What does a 29.3% market share indicate? It shows that retail investors are all concentrated in one basket. Moats? I think it's a noose.

The moat of leading platforms is indeed getting deeper, and retail investors are being squeezed to death.

The moat of top-tier platforms is indeed deep, but those who truly make money are the veterans who understand risk control.

85 trillion? That's an astonishing number. Leading exchanges are really making a fortune quietly.
