Trading volume for Real World Asset (RWA) perpetual futures has surged significantly, outpacing traditional tokenized spot markets. Traders prefer these derivatives due to their 24/7 availability and lower complexity compared to traditional financial instruments.
RWA perps hit $347 billion in volume in May , a 1,472x increase from the $230 million traded at the start of 2025. Daily open interest on DEXs alone hit a new highs of $4.5 billion in July . By the end of May, exchanges facilitated $1.32 trillion in volume, 13x what we saw in all of 2025.
