Are DEXs becoming more popular for perps trading?
Our latest study shows that @HyperliquidX alone has recorded $2.74 trillion in perps volume so far this year, putting it on par with Coinbase.
Let's look at the details 👇
1/ Perp DEXs have seen a major revival in 2025, with monthly volumes hitting an all time high of $903.56 billion in October, which is more than a tenfold increase year on year.
2/ This has largely been driven by the emergence of new perps DEX players, notably @HyperliquidX, @Lighter_xyz and @edgeX_exchange, which have surpassed the early incumbents.
3/ Nonetheless, it remains unclear whether DEX perps volumes will hold once widespread incentive programs end.
