CryptoQuant: TradFi Perpetual Futures Jump on Crypto Exchanges as Spot Volume Slides

CryptoQuant reported that traditional-finance perpetual futures tied to assets such as gold, silver, and oil are gaining traction on crypto exchanges, led by Gate and Binance. Gate recorded $368 billion in TradFi perp volume and Binance logged $298 billion, together making up roughly two-thirds of the year-to-date total.
