CFD broker Axi announced an expansion of its crypto
perpetuals offerings. The broker added over 150 contracts covering major and
emerging digital assets. This positions Axi among the few multi-asset brokers
that integrate crypto derivatives within a single regulated platform.
The move comes as crypto trading is increasingly dominated
by perpetual futures contracts. New data shows these contracts now account for
nearly 70% of all Bitcoin volume and 76% of all derivatives activity globally.
Market Trends in Perpetuals
Perpetual futures, or “perps,” have overtaken spot and
traditional derivatives as the main instruments in crypto markets. Research
from Kaiko and other industry trackers shows that 68% of Bitcoin volume is
traded via perpetuals and 59% of total crypto activity in Q2 2025 came from
perps.

This represents a notable increase from previous years and
highlights the shift toward leveraged, round-the-clock trading instruments that
mirror spot market liquidity.
Axi’s expansion includes more than 150 perpetual contracts
and a fee structure aimed at undercutting rivals such as Binance and Bybit. The
broker presents its platform as a regulated alternative to offshore exchanges,
offering institutional-level clarity and support.

derivatives market expected to grow alongside broader institutional adoption.
