Hyperliquid Maintains Leadership in the Perpetual Futures DEX Market

Throughout July, Hyperliquid continued to dominate the perpetual futures (perps) decentralized exchange (DEX) space, consistently holding a market share of over 75%. This solid performance reinforces the platform’s position as a volume leader among on-chain derivatives trading platforms.

The Hyperliquid/Binance ratio — which measures the trading volume of perps on Hyperliquid relative to Binance — reached a new peak of 11.89% in July. For context, Binance reported roughly $2.59 trillion in perps volume during the same period, a 35% increase from the previous month.

Drift Sees Notable Surge in Volume

Meanwhile, Drift, a perps DEX built on the Solana blockchain, experienced a remarkable 336% month-over-month increase, reaching $14.8 billion in trading volume during July. This sharp rise can be largely attributed to Drift’s zero-fee campaign on its BTC-PERP market, launched at the end of June. The incentive successfully drove higher trading activity in the following weeks.

DEX vs. CEX Futures Volume Ratio Remains Flat

Despite Hyperliquid’s efforts to close the gap with Binance and Drift’s impressive growth, the overall ratio of decentralized to centralized futures trading volumes held steady in July. The DEX-to-CEX ratio slightly declined from 7.78% in June to 7.77% in July, signaling a plateau in the broader market shift.
