Binance captures 40% of crypto derivatives market as trading volume drops
Binance now controls 40% of the perpetual futures market, recording $1.4 trillion in monthly volume. This shift occurred as traders shifted activity toward the largest liquid venues during a period of overall market decline. Centralized exchange trading volume dropped 48% from its October 2025 peak, falling to $4.3 trillion in March 2026, the lowest level since October 2024. This decline in participation was driven by a market cooling after its earlier peak in Q1 2026. Binance remained the largest spot trading venue in March, recording $248 billion in spot volume and controlling 32% of the market.
