Furthermore, Binance is the exchange with the highest market share for altcoin perpetual futures. The dominance grew from 19% to 41% since mid-June.
Growth of the Altcoin Futures Market
The unusual sluggishness of Bitcoin prices since March has led to the evolution of the futures market for alternate cryptocurrencies. There has been a noted growth in the price of ADA that has grown 200% in volume since a low in March. The positive effect on price is mainly dominated by the transition to a Proof-of-Stake network early next month. The 24-hour volume on 9th July 2020 crossed trades of $400 million in ADA perpetual contracts.
The Shelley upgrade expected to have 50-100 times more decentralization with Binance Futures dominating the futures market among all the exchanges in the world. It took less than two weeks for the ADA daily volume to grow from $40 million to $170 million. The leverage adopted for the ADA/USD futures has not changed as is stable at 75 times for all contracts.
