VILNIUS, Lithuania, October 30, 2025 — Cryptocurrency exchange BTCC has reported a total of $29.2 billion USDT in trading volume for its tokenized real-world asset (RWA) futures across the second and third quarters of 2025. The figures underscore a continued increase in on-chain activity tied to traditional financial instruments, coinciding with the broader RWA market exceeding $30 billion in total value.
According to internal data, trading volumes reached $16.4 billion in Q2 and $12.8 billion in Q3. Among the most actively traded contracts were those referencing gold, major U.S. stock indices (S&P 500, Dow Jones, NASDAQ-100), and equities such as Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Coinbase, and Circle Internet Group.
BTCC currently lists more than 50 tokenized futures products, enabling users to trade equities, indices, commodities, and forex pairs using USDT as collateral. The platform provides up to 150x leverage on precious metals and up to 20x on equity-linked futures.
“Cross-market participation in RWA products is expanding faster than anyone expected,” said Peter Lee, Chief Marketing Officer at BTCC. “With more institutions exploring tokenized exposure to equities, commodities, and indices, BTCC’s RWA futures platform bridges familiar assets with crypto-native settlement – bringing institutional-grade efficiency to both sides of the market.”
Tokenized RWAs represent blockchain-based versions of traditional assets, including equities, commodities, and government securities. These instruments offer exposure to off-chain financial products while utilizing on-chain settlement and collateral mechanisms. The sector has gained momentum in recent quarters, with financial institutions and exchanges increasingly developing tokenized infrastructure to serve both institutional and retail participants.
While much of the RWA focus to date has centered around tokenized debt and fund products, BTCC’s push into futures-based RWAs reflects rising demand from derivatives traders seeking exposure to traditional markets via digital platforms. The exchange’s growing volume in this area mirrors a broader industry trend of merging traditional finance tools with crypto-native environments through tokenization.
