CoinGlass's latest report shows that by 2025, the leading exchanges in the cryptocurrency derivatives market are gradually stabilizing in competition. Trading volume and comprehensive scores both reflect the importance of security and user experience for ecosystem competitiveness. The top-ranked platform scored 94.33, significantly ahead of other competitors.

Abstract generation in progress

【ChainNews】CoinGlass’s latest 2025 Cryptocurrency Derivatives Market Annual Report reveals an interesting phenomenon—the competitive landscape among leading exchanges is gradually stabilizing.

In the liquidity depth comparison of mainstream assets like BTC and ETH, several top-tier institutions have formed a clear first echelon. Trading volume data best illustrates the point: the platform with an average daily trading volume of approximately $77.45 billion firmly holds the first place, with a market share close to 30%; followed closely by a platform with an average daily volume of $33.2 billion, controlling 12.5% of the market; the third and fourth places are operated by exchanges with average daily volumes of $29.1 billion and $25.2 billion, with market shares of 11% and 9.5%, respectively.

However, looking at trading volume alone is not comprehensive enough. CoinGlass’s comprehensive evaluation system is more interesting—they not only consider basic trading data but also incorporate product systems, security guarantees, information transparency, and market liquidity quality into the weighting.

After the overall scores are released, the top-ranked platform scores 94.33 points, with a clear lead; the second place follows with 88.77 points; and the third scores 83.10 points. This report clearly reflects that derivatives exchanges are not only competing in trading volume; security, user experience, and market depth also determine the ecosystem’s competitiveness.

BTC-1.2%

ETH-2.38%

$77.45 billion, this is the gold mine of the big players. No wonder they are so stable at the top, but what about retail investors? Still getting cut. Being bearish is one thing, but this liquidity pattern does have some substance. Only those with good risk control can survive. Wait, transparency? That's hilarious. Who believes that? It's all the same darkness. I'm not overthinking, but does the company with a 30% market share really have no manipulation suspicion? A stable pattern = a perfect opportunity for new retail investors to jump in. Everyone, watch your stop-losses. Comprehensive assessment? Don't listen to their hype. Trading volume is the real deal; everything else is虚. This data is a bit outrageous—an average of 77.4 billion daily. Feels like there's some water in it. Support level is right here. If it's broken, we withdraw. Don't fight the big players to the death. The derivatives market is so competitive. Retail investors still want to make money? You need to have skills. What’s the use of comparing liquidity depth? The key is whether you can execute trades in time.

$77.45 billion daily trading volume, this gap is really outrageous... --- Is the landscape set? I don't think so, there might still be a reversal this year. --- The most critical part is security assurance; high trading volume is useless without it. --- Jump in immediately to buy the dip on derivatives? Forget it, I'll just watch the show. --- With the top few players so competitive, how do new entrants even have a chance? --- The transparency metric here is just a decoration; who would really believe it if it were honest? --- A 30% market share monopolized by a single platform—isn't that a bit dangerous? --- The product system is more worth analyzing than trading volume. --- Another report, just riding the wave of hype. --- The derivatives market should contract like this; those who stay are genuine participants with real money.

With top exchanges competing so fiercely, retail investors still have to hop between several platforms... It's really exhausting. --- 77.45 billion daily trading volume? No wonder this one dominates with 30%, and other platforms are just getting scraps. --- When it comes to security and transparency, they all end up being pretty similar; it mainly depends on the transaction fees. --- The market structure is set, anyway, the liquidity differences for small coins are even bigger, and it's not just these few players involved. --- It looks stable now, but who knows if a dark horse will emerge again next year.

Damn, 77.45 billion in daily trading volume? That number sounds a bit suspicious, is it all hype or genuine transactions? --- Looking only at trading volume is pointless; everyone knows the tricks of fake volume. The real competition is about safety and transparency. --- 30% market share... a dominant player is becoming increasingly obvious. How will mid- and long-tail exchanges survive? --- It seems that CoinGlass's evaluation method isn't innovative at all, still the same old approach. --- Is the top spot already decided? No, the market landscape changes every year, last year's conclusion was overturned this year. --- Basically, it's about liquidity effects. Big players cluster at the top, while small and medium exchanges can only eat leftovers. --- When it comes to security, I still trust the few established old brands. Newcomers, no matter how good their trading, aren't stable enough. --- This report seems a bit inflated; next year, this ranking will probably be reshuffled again.

Here comes another round of getting my韭菜 (leeks), with such huge actual trading volume, why didn't I make any money? --- 774.5 billion daily trading volume, sounds unbelievable, how come my positions are so easily wiped out... --- Is the overall situation stable? What's unstable is my wallet, haha. --- 30% market share still isn't enough; no matter how good the liquidity depth sounds, you have to look at the slippage. --- Product system security assurance... Brother, honestly, when choosing a platform, in the end, it's all about who won't run away. --- What are the third and fourth exchanges? If I haven't heard of them, I won't touch them. --- Large trading volume is one thing, but the problem is how absurdly my orders are filled. --- This report didn't tell me which platform has the most unfair fees. --- Daily average of 77.4 billion? I really want to know how much of that is generated by bots... --- Here we go again, stirring up old news. The situation has been stable for three months already, okay?

774.5 billion USD in daily trading volume, the gap is just too big, and the winner takes all feeling is becoming stronger. There are really only two tiers; the top tier gets the leftovers and can't share. The focus should be on safety and transparency; high trading volume doesn't necessarily mean reliability. When the landscape stabilizes, it becomes less interesting; without growth stories, how can it be driven? The chosen ones have won again; what are other exchanges supposed to do? With such high market concentration, a regulatory breeze could reshuffle the deck. Comprehensive assessment? Honestly, it still comes down to trading depth; everything else is just superficial.

The pattern is already set? That's laughable. The crypto world changes so quickly, and you still dare to say it's fixed. The top 30% share—what about the rest? Do you really think the middle-tier teams have no chance? 774 billion in daily trading volume... I know how much of that number is inflated. It all depends on who does security well; everything else is just empty talk. Why trust CoinGlass's assessment? You still need to verify it yourself. The Matthew effect in derivatives is too strong; new players almost have no way out.

774.5 billion daily trading volume... These leading platforms are really far ahead Everyone is eager to take a bite, but they just can't catch up A 30% market share directly makes them a legend, while the rest are fighting over leftovers The derivatives market is really complex; looking at trading volume alone is okay, but the key is who is more reliable in safety and liquidity The real differences lie in the product system and transparency The leaders are basically set, and it's very difficult for new players to break through
