A leading compliant platform recently announced its business performance report for 2025. The data is quite impressive — over the past year, 110 new crypto assets were added, bringing the total number of tradable crypto assets on the platform to over 350. More importantly, the expansion in the derivatives sector is also accelerating: 100 new perpetual contracts were launched, bringing the total number of tradable perpetual contracts to 199.

From the platform's perspective, 2025 clearly marks a watershed moment for derivatives business. The introduction of an around-the-clock trading mechanism has led to continuous increases in participation. In June, open interest in perpetual futures surpassed $1 billion, reaching a peak of $4.8 billion in October. This growth curve is quite steep.

Looking ahead to 2026, the official plans to continue expanding and deepening. New indices, stock-like products, and emerging assets are all on the expansion list. It seems that derivatives have already become the platform’s next major growth driver.
