On December 25, according to Cointelegraph, CoinGlass released a report stating that the trading volume of cryptocurrency derivatives in 2025 will rise to $85.7 trillion, with an average daily trading volume of approximately $264.5 billion. CEX leads the market with a cumulative derivatives trading volume of about $25.09 trillion, accounting for 29.3% of global trading volume. CEX, CEX, and CEX follow closely behind, with annual trading volumes ranging from $8.2 trillion to $10.8 trillion. These four trading platforms together hold approximately 62.3% of the market share. The report shows that in 2025, the derivatives market will shift from a retail-dominated high-leverage model to institutional hedging, basis trading, and ETFs. Nevertheless, the deepening leverage chain increases tail risk. In 2025, the global cryptocurrency derivatives holdings decreased to about $87 billion in the first quarter after deleveraging, reaching a yearly low, and then hit a record high of $235.9 billion on October 7.
