Perp DEX vs CEX volume: market share and ranking over time
On October 16, 2026, perp DEXes had 10.1% of the 24h perpetual futures volume of the 112 tracked venues, and CEX venues had 89.9%. After the hold-outs, the DEX share was 10.1%. On June 5, 2026, the first stored day, the DEX share was 12.1%. Binance reported the most volume: $86.63B in 24 hours.
This page tracks the share of perpetual futures volume on decentralized (DEX) venues against centralized (CEX) venues, for each stored day since 2026-06-05. It also ranks each venue by 24-hour and 7-day volume. The reported figure is the number that the venue or its data source publishes. The adjusted figure removes each venue that a PerpFinder hold-out rule flags.
These are measurements, not accusations. PerpFinder does not claim that any venue misreports volume. The adjusted figure is not an estimate: no venue figure is scaled or replaced.

The table shows the first 30 of 112 venues by reported 24h volume. 9 more held-out venues are in the CSV, with the reasons. A dash means no figure. The 7-day window is 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-16. Depth readings come from the volume-quality sweep of 2026-10-16 00:40 UTC (18 CEX venues).
Measured answers for the 2026-10-16 capture
Which venue reported the most perpetual volume? Binance ranks first on both bases, with $86.63B of reported 24h volume. The first DEX is Hyperliquid Perps, at adjusted rank 9 with $10.20B.
What is the DEX share of perpetual volume? DEX venues hold 10.1% of the reported 24h volume of all tracked venues, and 10.1% after the hold-outs. Over 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-16, the share is 11.1% reported and 10.6% adjusted.
How does Hyperliquid volume compare with Binance? Binance reported $86.63B of 24h perpetual volume. Hyperliquid Perps had $10.20B in the DefiLlama figure. Binance volume was 8.5 times the Hyperliquid volume.
Which venues are held out? 9 venues are held out of the 24h figures. The largest is Aark Digital, with $107.5M reported. Each reason is in the table.
DEX share of tracked perpetual volume
DEX volume divided by DEX plus CEX volume, for each stored daily capture. The adjusted line applies the unverified and spike rules for that day. The depth rule needs a sweep for each day, so the daily series does not apply it.

Method
CEX figures are the 24h perpetual volumes from each venue's own ticker API. DEX figures come from the DefiLlama perpetual DEX list. PerpFinder stores both once a day. The totals cover the venues that PerpFinder tracks, so they are not a full market total.
A venue is held out of the adjusted figures when one of three rules applies:
- Unverified. The venue is in the unverified tier. Its reported volume stays out of every PerpFinder total until an editorial review removes it. See the volume-quality methodology.
- Spike. The 24h figure is more than 3 times the venue's own median of the 7 stored days before it. The rule needs at least 3 of those days. It applies to CEX and DEX venues. For the 7-day figures, a spike on any day of the window holds the venue out.
- Depth. For a CEX venue, the newest volume-quality sweep read the BTC and ETH order books. No test order from $10,000 filled on both books. A venue that the sweep does not measure is not held out. A missing measurement is a gap on our side, not a finding about the venue.
The 7-day figure is the sum of the venue's 24h figures on 7 consecutive daily captures. A venue with a missing day has no 7-day figure. Capture times differ by some hours from day to day, so each 24h figure covers a slightly different window.
The headline volume on other PerpFinder pages applies the unverified and spike rules to CEX venues. This page also applies the spike rule to DEX venues and adds the depth rule. Machine-readable data: API documentation.
Terms used on this page
- Reported volume (24h/7d/30d)
- Reported volume is the trading volume that the venue or its data source publishes, in USD notional, for the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days.
- Adjusted volume (reported vs adjusted)
- Adjusted volume is the reported volume of the tracked venues with each held-out venue removed. PerpFinder does not scale, replace or estimate a venue figure.
