The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange continues to strengthen its position at the intersection of digital and traditional finance. In June 2025, Binance's share of the total trading volume in perpetual futures on TradFi company stocks reached an impressive 80%, amounting to $53.8 billion in absolute terms. This is six times higher than the figures of its closest competitor, according to data from the analytical platform CryptoQuant.
The equity derivatives market on centralized exchanges (CEX) is experiencing a real boom. In the middle of the month, the weekly trading volume of such instruments hit a record $11.6 billion. Key growth drivers included Binance's active expansion into traditional finance and the listing of perpetual futures on SpaceX (SPCX) shares on Nasdaq.
SpaceX as a Catalyst
The launch of the SPCX contract was a true breakthrough: it alone accounted for $36 billion of the total volume, making it the most traded instrument among all securities on the platform. However, demand is not limited to a single issuer. Digital analogs of MicroStrategy (MSTR), Circle (CRCL), and Intel (INTC) also showed significant volume growth. Broad interest in both pre-IPO and mature assets indicates deep and long-term investor interest in this class of instruments.
"For Binance, providing access to over 7,000 stocks and exchange-traded funds is not just an expansion of the product line. It is a key strategy for retaining capital within the ecosystem," the study notes.
24/7 Capital Efficiency
The true economic benefit of integrating traditional stocks into a crypto platform lies in cross-margining. User portfolios no longer sit idle after traditional markets close — now every asset can work around the clock, providing liquidity and returns. This fundamentally changes the approach to capital management.
Recall that in 2026, crypto exchanges processed transactions with real-world assets (RWA) worth nearly $1 trillion, with Binance capturing a lion's share of 60.9%. The current trend only confirms that the platform is becoming not just an exchange, but a full-fledged financial supermarket, blurring the lines between TradFi and DeFi.
Expert comment: Binance's dominance in the TradFi derivatives market is not a coincidence but the result of strategic vision. Integrating classic assets into crypto infrastructure creates a unique synergistic effect: liquidity flows from one world to another, and users gain access to instruments that were previously available only to institutional players. In the coming quarters, we will likely see similar moves from other major exchanges, but catching up with Binance in scale and speed will be extremely difficult.
