Global cryptocurrency and digital asset trading trends

Overview

Trading activity across various financial and decentralized platforms has shown significant growth. In the third quarter of 2026, Trumid reported a 38% year-over-year increase in average daily volume, reaching $9.6 billion, with September volume hitting $9.9 billion. Concurrently, the cryptocurrency sector experienced surges, such as THORChain processing $2.40 billion in swap volume during September, nearly four times its August levels.

This upward trend in volume extended to decentralized exchanges (DEX), which saw 24-hour trading volumes reach between $8.4 billion and $10.5 billion. This period was marked by high volatility in specific tokens, including massive surges for certain pairs on the BNB Chain and sharp declines for others on the Solana network.
