The October 2026 tally was 83 million trades below October 2025’s 521 million, though its 438 million total was the highest monthly count in 11 months.
The latest total was 15.9% below the 521 million trades recorded in October 2025. It was 8.4% higher than September's count.
The tally measures the number of trades, not their combined dollar value. It covers perpetual futures, which are counted separately from the spot transactions discussed in EconoTimes’ earlier report on decentralized exchange trading.
