BTCC, one of the world’s longest-running cryptocurrency exchanges, reported a total trading volume of $29.2 billion USDT from its tokenized real-world asset (RWA) futures during the second and third quarters of 2025.
The figures highlight rising interest in on-chain versions of traditional financial instruments, as the overall RWA market surpasses $30 billion in total value.
According to BTCC’s internal data, tokenized futures tied to gold, major US stock indices, and large-cap equities were among the most actively traded contracts during the period.
The exchange recorded $16.4 billion in RWA futures volume in the second quarter and $12.8 billion in the third.
The most-traded contracts included gold, the S&P 500, Dow Jones, NASDAQ-100, Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Coinbase, and Circle Internet Group.
BTCC currently offers more than 50 tokenized futures products, enabling users to trade equities, commodities, indices, and forex pairs using USDT as collateral.
The platform provides leverage of up to 150x for precious metals and up to 20x for equity-based 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 are blockchain-based representations of traditional assets such as equities, commodities, and treasuries, allowing traders to gain exposure to off-chain markets through on-chain settlement and collateral mechanisms.
The sector has become one of the fastest-growing segments in digital assets, with exchanges and financial institutions building tokenization infrastructure for both institutional and retail participants.
While most tokenization efforts have focused on debt and fund products, BTCC’s move into futures-based RWAs underscores the growing interest from derivatives traders in this developing market.
