RWA futures volume surges 142x after $19B liquidations

  • RWA futures volume grew from $760 million to $107.6 billion over nine months
  • Crypto futures generated $105.7 billion in July, with the two categories nearly level
  • After strikes on Iran, WTI oil contract volume rose 149-fold in nine days
  • Pre-IPO futures reached $10.9 billion in monthly volume within three months, led by SpaceX
Why it matters: The growth of RWA derivatives shows demand shifting from crypto assets to contracts on commodities, equities and private companies after the largest futures crash.
