Perpetual futures—contracts with no expiry—have exploded from $86 trillion on centralized exchanges in 2025 to $6.7 trillion on decentralized venues, carving out nearly 8% of CEX volume. Builders are racing to deploy new perp markets, expand real-world-asset trading and refine front-ends, liquidity provision and data infrastructure.
- Onchain perp volume grew 346% to $6.7 trillion, pushing DEX share of CEX volume from 2.5% to 7.8% in a year.
- Hyperliquid's permissionless HIP-3 markets let anyone launch a perp and keep half the fees, driving RWA perps (Nvidia GPUs, silver, oil, SpaceX equity) to 44% of its volume.
- DEX weekend crude oil perps now provide price discovery when traditional markets are closed.
- Perps' simplicity (post margin once, no strikes/expiries, liquidation as sole downside) makes them more capital-efficient than the booming 0DTE options market (2.3M SPX contracts/day, 59% of SPX volume) for short-term directional bets.
