Cryptocurrency derivatives market trading has shown an overall decline due to reduced volatility.

According to CoinDeskData’s February exchange review report released on the 11th, cryptocurrency derivatives trading volume in February decreased by 2.41% month-over-month, totaling $4.11 trillion. This is the lowest trading volume since October 2024.

The report explains that major digital asset prices fluctuated within a relatively narrow range over the month, leading to decreased market volatility, which aligns with the reduction in derivatives trading.

From a market structure perspective, the proportion of derivatives slightly increased. In February, derivatives accounted for 73.2% of total cryptocurrency trading, a slight rise from 73.1% in January.

As a result, the share of DEX in the futures market also declined. In February, DEX futures market share dropped to 16.0%, the lowest level since October 2024.
