Ethereum Sees Record-High Activity In 2025 Derivatives Market — Here’s How Much Was Traded

Ethereum's derivatives market reached record-high activity in 2025, with futures trading volumes surging across major exchanges. Over $6.74 trillion in ETH futures volume was traded on Binance alone—nearly double 2024’s record. Other platforms, including OKX, Bybit, and Bitget, also reported unprecedented volumes, reaching $4.28T, $2.15T, and $1.95T, respectively. Analyst Darkfost highlighted that ETH saw $5 in futures trading for every $1 in spot trading—a clear indicator of extreme speculation and high leverage. This derivatives-driven activity made Ethereum one of the world’s most traded assets in derivatives markets but also contributed to amplified and volatile price movements. Despite the record trading levels, ETH’s price remained unstable, down over 40% from its all-time high and trading around $2,932 at the time of reporting.
