TREE NEWS reports: Crypto stock derivatives on eight major platforms averaged $20.11 billion in daily volume from August to October 2026, with total turnover of about $1.79 trillion, RootData Research data show. Daily volume fell from $23.36 billion in August to $17.04 billion in September before recovering to $19.81 billion in October, while open interest rose 38.66% to $9.22 billion. Tokenized stock spot trading averaged $324 million a day, about 61.5 times smaller than derivatives on the same platforms.
Crypto Stock Derivatives Volume Falls Then Rebounds; Tokenized Stocks Hit $324M Daily
The recovering October volume alongside a 38.66% jump in open interest suggests positioning is building even as activity cooled mid-quarter — a divergence worth watching, since rising open interest on softer spot activity can amplify moves either way. The 61.5x gap between derivatives and tokenized stock spot trading shows leverage, not tokenization, still carries the crypto-equity trade. Whether tokenized spot volume narrows that ratio is the open question for the RWA thesis.
