Cryptocurrency exchange BTCC has announced a combined trading volume of $29.2 billion for its tokenized real-world asset (RWA) futures during the second and third quarters of 2025. The figure highlights growing on-chain demand for products tied to traditional financial instruments, as the broader RWA market’s total value surpasses $30 billion.

Key Trading Metrics and Popular Assets

According to the exchange’s internal data, trading volume reached $16.4 billion in Q2, followed by $12.8 billion in Q3. Among the most popular contracts were those based on gold, major U.S. stock indices like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ-100, and equities including Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, and Coinbase.

The platform offers more than 50 tokenized futures, allowing traders to gain exposure to equities, commodities, and forex pairs using USDT as collateral. BTCC provides leverage of up to 150x on precious metals and up to 20x on its equity-based futures.

Bridging Traditional Finance and Crypto

Peter Lee, Chief Marketing Officer at BTCC, noted that the expansion of RWA products is accelerating. “With more institutions exploring tokenized exposure to equities, commodities, and indices, BTCC’s RWA futures platform bridges familiar assets with crypto-native settlement,” he said, adding that it brings “institutional-grade efficiency to both sides of the market.”

Tokenized RWAs are blockchain-based representations of traditional assets, such as securities or commodities. They allow investors to access off-chain financial products while benefiting from the efficiency of on-chain settlement and collateral management. This sector has gained significant momentum as financial institutions build out infrastructure for both retail and institutional clients.

While much of the RWA market has concentrated on tokenized debt and fund products, BTCC’s focus on futures signals a rising demand from derivatives traders. The exchange’s performance reflects an industry-wide trend of merging traditional financial tools with crypto-native platforms through tokenization.
