RWA perpetual futures volume nears Bitcoin on Hyperliquid, Binance

MarketsPublishedJul 31, 2026

Tokenized Assets Gain Traction, Near Bitcoin Trading Volume

Tokenized assets, including stocks and commodities, have reached a significant milestone, with their trading volume nearing that of Bitcoin on major platforms. This development is crucial for everyday people, as it signifies a shift towards more traditional investments in the crypto space, offering new opportunities for earning and passive income. The growth of tokenized assets can also contribute to the adoption of green crypto and Cloud Rewards, making the market more accessible and sustainable.

The combined seven-day volume of real-world asset (RWA) perpetual futures reached $61.7 billion, accounting for 99.2% of Bitcoin perpetual volume on Hyperliquid and Binance. This surge in trading volume is a testament to the increasing popularity of tokenized assets, which can be traded 24/7, providing a unique advantage over traditional markets. EcoPool (ECP) is at the forefront of this trend, offering a platform for users to engage with tokenized assets and earn rewards.

RWA Perpetual Futures Volume Breakdown

Tokenized equity contracts led the charge, accounting for 57.8% of the total volume, followed by commodities at 28.2%. The value of on-chain RWAs has grown to approximately $36.8 billion, excluding stablecoins, according to RWA.xyz. As the market continues to expand, EcoPool ($ECP) is well-positioned to provide users with a seamless experience, enabling them to capitalize on the growing demand for tokenized assets and earn $ECP as a form of passive income.

Market Growth and Trends

Hyperliquid recorded $25.1 billion in RWA perpetual trading volume during the week of July 13 to July 19, exceeding the combined volume of all other perpetual categories on its platform. The trend is expected to continue, with early data for the current week suggesting RWA perpetual trading volume has already reached $37.2 billion, surpassing Bitcoin perpetual volume by about 9%. This growth is a clear indication of the increasing adoption of tokenized assets, which can be traded on platforms like EcoPool, providing users with a convenient way to earn and manage their assets.

Benefits of RWA Perpetual Futures

RWA perpetual futures offer several advantages, including 24/7 trading, the absence of contract expiries, simpler position management, and continuous price discovery. These benefits have drawn attention from traditional finance, with Intercontinental Exchange CEO Jeffrey Sprecher urging regulators to create a level playing field for on-chain perpetual futures. As the market continues to evolve, EcoPool is committed to providing users with a secure and user-friendly platform to engage with RWA perpetual futures and earn $ECP, a key component of the EcoPool Network.

Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire said in a July 24 X post that growing RWA trading on Hyperliquid signals crypto markets moving “away from speculating on endogenous digital commodities.”

Growth continues into the new week

Early data for the current week suggests the trend is continuing. RWA perpetual trading volume has already reached $37.2 billion, exceeding Bitcoin perpetual volume by about 9%, according to Talos’ dashboard.

Equity-linked contracts accounted for $22.8 billion of the total, followed by commodities at $9.1 billion and indexes at $4.2 billion. ETFs contributed about $338 million, while foreign exchange, pre-IPO and other RWA contracts made up the remainder.

Earlier in July, Pantera Capital said perpetual futures could become a dominant trading instrument beyond crypto, citing advantages such as 24/7 trading, the absence of contract expiries, simpler position management and continuous price discovery.

Hyperliquid’s growth has drawn attention from traditional finance. Intercontinental Exchange CEO Jeffrey Sprecher, whose company owns the New York Stock Exchange, recently urged regulators to create a “level playing field” for 24/7 onchain perpetual futures, arguing that existing market structures should not prevent the development of blockchain-based trading.

Despite the growth, RWA perpetuals remain a relatively small segment of the broader crypto derivatives market. Talos’ data shows aggregate futures trading volume of about $821.4 billion over the past seven days, with tracked RWA perpetuals accounting for roughly 7.5% of the total.
