BTCC sees $29B in futures volume momentum in push for tokenized RWA market share

• BTCC reported nearly $30 billion in trading volume for the second and third quarters of the year.
• BTCC’s RWA futures platform is claiming a niche in the aspect of bridging familiar assets with crypto-native settlement. 
• The platform plans to continue to stake a claim at the tokenized RWA futures trading market as rivals focus more on spot listings. 

BTCC reported a combined $29.2 billion USDT in trading volume from its tokenized real-world asset (RWA) futures between Q2 and Q3 of 2025, with $16.4 billion recorded as volume in Q2 and $12.8 billion in Q3.

BTCC Exchange, a crypto platform that has been operating since 2011, recently announced that it has crossed a major milestone in its tokenized real-world asset (RWA) futures trading. BTCC reports servicing 10 million users in 100+ countries, contributing to the growing popularity of RWAs in what analysts call a “fundamental shift” in finance.

BTCC stakes claim for RWA futures trading market

According to internal data shared by BTCC,  the most active contracts during the reporting period came from tokenized futures referencing gold, major U.S. stock indices, and large-cap equities, to name a few. That means the most-traded contracts were gold, the S&P 500, Dow Jones, NASDAQ-100, Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Coinbase, and Circle, platforms leading change in various hot sectors.

“Cross-market participation in RWA products is expanding faster than anyone expected,” said Peter Lee, Chief Marketing Officer at BTCC. “With more institutions exploring tokenized exposure to equities, commodities, and indices, BTCC’s RWA futures platform bridges familiar assets with crypto-native settlement – bringing institutional-grade efficiency to both sides of the market.”

There is little doubt that the tokenized RWA sector is one of the fastest-growing areas in digital assets, with about $35.75 billion in on-chain value and close to 10% growth in the last month. 

BTCC is one of the exchanges and financial institutions developing tokenized infrastructure for both institutional and retail traders, without the barriers of traditional financial markets, including geographic restrictions, settlement delays, and costly intermediaries. The exchange currently offers over 50 tokenized assets with leverage that goes up to 150x for precious metals and 20x for other tokenized futures.

BTCC has a head start in the derivatives lane 

BTCC’s recent announcement is proof that it has established a place for itself as far as bridging crypto and traditional finance is concerned. 

The cumulative $29 billion from the platform’s Q2–Q3 volume sets a high standard, but experts claim rivals are not far behind and have been making significant headway via spot listings of tokenized assets to go with the expansion into derivatives like perpetual futures and options. 

These rivals are spurred on by the growing interest in tokenized RWAs driven by regulatory clarity and demand for 24/7 TradFi access via crypto. Some of BTCC’s key rivals, like OKX and Bybit, are tied to CEX operations, mixing spot trading of tokenized RWAs with derivatives.

Other than the growing popularity of the RWA sector, BTCC was also a beneficiary of perpetual futures trading enjoying its best month in terms of transaction volume in September, with over $1 trillion moving through the market.
