Decentralized exchanges recorded $6.8 trillion in spot volume in the third quarter of 2026, while onchain venues handled about one-quarter of crypto spot trading, highlighting activity across several distinct products. Tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted more than $37 billion in onchain volume for the quarter, with monthly volume nearly 18 times January’s. Hyperliquid’s perpetual contracts tied to stocks, ETFs and stock indexes recorded $201 billion in third-quarter volume. Those totals cover different activity: tokenized stock and ETF trades, equity-linked perpetual contracts and cryptocurrency spot trades.
