FAQs
Perpetual futures exchange questions
The exchange leaderboard compares aggregate volume, open interest, market count, and recent changes across supported venues.
Why can an exchange lead volume but not open interest?
Volume reflects turnover, while open interest reflects positions that remain open. A venue can support rapid short-duration trading without retaining the largest pool of outstanding exposure.
Does listing more perpetual markets make an exchange larger?
Not by itself. Market count describes breadth, but activity may be concentrated in a few contracts. Compare listings with volume, open interest, and per-market liquidity.
Can centralized and decentralized perpetual exchanges be compared?
Their reported market metrics can be compared on a normalized USD basis, but custody, margin, matching, fees, and data publication differ. Those structural differences matter beyond the totals.
What should matter when choosing a perpetual futures exchange?
Consider supported markets, spread, depth, fees, funding, margin rules, reliability, custody model, and jurisdiction. Aggregate volume or open interest is useful context, not a complete venue recommendation.
