August Exchange Rankings: Spot Market Grows Over 18%, Trading Activity Shows Clear Recovery

In August 2026, spot trading volume on major CEXs rose 18.64% compared to July 2026, while perpetual contract trading volume increased 10.89% compared to July 2026. The growth in spot trading was significantly higher than that of contracts, indicating that the recovery in market activity was primarily driven by spot demand.

In August, website page views on major CEXs decreased 0.26% compared to July 2026, and website downloads on major CEXs fell 5.61% compared to July 2026. With external traffic not growing in tandem, trading volume instead rebounded notably, which may suggest that this round of increased trading activity stems more from improvements in trading frequency and conversion efficiency among existing users, rather than a large-scale influx of new users and external traffic.

In August, perpetual contract trading volume on major Perp DEXs rose 8.98% compared to July 2026, with no significant increase or decrease in website page views.
