Perpetual decentralized exchanges (Perp DEX) reported a significant increase in trading activity, with monthly volumes surpassing $1.3 trillion in October. This marks an over 80% rise from August, contributing to a total trading volume of more than $5.5 trillion for 2025. This figure is already double the total volume recorded in 2024, highlighting the growing interest and participation in decentralized trading platforms. The surge in trading activity on Perp DEXs reflects a broader trend of increasing adoption of decentralized finance solutions.
