Gold (XAU) contracts, since their launch in December last year, now have a daily trading volume of roughly 20–30 billion USD.
This volume places them around the top 10 in the entire crypto market. In other words, apart from the fixed leaders BTC, ETH, SOL and a few currently hot meme coins, it’s gold.
This shows that gold has now become a highly prominent mainstream trading asset in the crypto market, and trading of Gold (XAU) contracts is mainly concentrated on major CEXs such as Binance, Bitget, and OKX: in the past 24 hours, these three accounted for 84% of Gold (XAU) contract trading volume.
