Monthly trading volume for real-world assets on perpetual DEXs reached a record $141 billion in July, rising approximately 19.5% month over month. Volume increased more than sixfold in the first seven months of the year, putting the move in a broader growth trend.
Why it matters
Public equities drove July's record. Their share of total RWA trading volume rose from 36.4% in June to 51.1% in July, making public equities the largest segment of activity.
The July mix gives the expansion a clear direction: public-equity exposure now accounts for more than half of RWA perp DEX activity. That brings a traditional asset category into a rapidly growing onchain derivatives market.
Market impact
The record combines a strong monthly gain with an even larger year-to-date trend. July's 19.5% increase lifted volume to $141 billion, while the more than sixfold rise over seven months shows that growth extends beyond a single monthly jump.
The next signal is whether public equities keep their majority share. A continued lead would reinforce equities as the center of RWA perp DEX activity, while a reversal would show that July's growth was more concentrated.
