Estimated income from Spot trading of the three top exchanges amounted to around $50M on each, which is on average 30% more than income from futures trading. At the same time, futures trading volumes significantly exceed the spot.

The exception was the FTX exchange, which is traditionally a derivative exchange. FTX derivatives trading income is ten times higher than the spot.

P.S.

Revenue calculation was performed as follows: Spot and Derivatives adjusted volumes in April multiplied by the arithmetical mean fees declared by exchanges. The report indicates exchanges that provide both – spot and futures trading services.

In this revenue chart, we didn’t take into account any VIP programs and fee discounts for native exchange tokens holders, and other factors that reduce the estimated revenues of exchanges.
