In 2025, CEX Contract Trading Soars, App Download Metrics Show User Growth Plateauing

2026.01.19 15:49:55

January 19th — Per BlockBeats data, 2025 has seen a slight recovery in cryptocurrency CEX spot trading demand amid price fluctuations and policy expectations, with a 3.6% year-over-year (YoY) increase. Futures trading volume, however, jumped more sharply: up 27% YoY, while HTX and Kucoin both posted over 60% YoY gains. Binance remains the industry leader, with spot trading volume at ~$73 trillion and futures volume exceeding $270 trillion — roughly equal to the combined volume of the second through fourth-ranked platforms. Overall, futures trading volume far outpaces spot trading and remains CEXs’ core business. Notably, 2025 mainstream CEX app downloads fell 35.47% YoY, signaling weak growth in the crypto market’s user base.
