BTCC reports $3.7tn trading volume in 2025 ahead of 15th anniversary
The crypto exchange says growth in futures and tokenised real-world assets helped lift volumes and users, as it sets out plans for AI-driven tools and a new trading platform.
BTCC said it recorded $3.7tn in total trading volume in 2025 and reached 11m users, as the exchange prepares to mark its 15th anniversary next year.
In a statement, BTCC said full-year figures included $3.27tn in futures trading volume and $431bn in spot trading. The company also highlighted rapid growth in tokenised real-world assets, with quarterly volumes rising from $1.2bn in the first quarter to $22.7bn in the fourth. Total tokenised futures volume for the year reached $53.1bn.
For a lay reader, tokenised real-world assets, often shortened to RWAs, are digital tokens that represent claims on traditional assets such as commodities or financial instruments. They are designed to let traders access familiar markets using blockchain-based systems.
BTCC said it continued to publish monthly Proof of Reserves reports, with reserves consistently above 100%, a measure intended to show that customer assets are fully backed. During the year, the exchange also rolled out a site-wide user interface refresh, updated its VIP programme and integrated with TradingView to support futures trading.
The exchange expanded its international profile in 2025 through appearances at industry events including TOKEN2049 in Dubai and Singapore, a summer festival in Tokyo and an MVP Night held during Taipei Blockchain Week. BTCC also sponsored charity golf events run by the Red Eagle Foundation, which it said raised more than $100,000.
As part of its branding efforts, BTCC named Jaren Jackson Jr. as its first global brand ambassador and received the Best Centralized Exchange (Community Choice) award from BeInCrypto.
“15 years in this industry has taught us that the real risk isn’t change but standing still,” said Marcus Chen, product manager at BTCC. “Our focus for 2026 is translating operational experience into speed: building what traders need for where markets are heading, not where they’ve been.”
Looking ahead, BTCC said its strategy for 2026 will centre on three priorities. The first is deeper integration of artificial intelligence across risk management and trade execution tools for both professional and mainstream users. The second is a significant expansion of its RWA product suite, following what it described as an 18-fold increase in tokenised asset trading volume during 2025.

The third priority is the launch of a next-generation trading platform. BTCC said this will cover derivatives and spot markets, use multi-asset matching engines and introduce a new wealth management feature designed to offer diversified strategies tailored to different risk profiles.
The figures underline how established exchanges are seeking to differentiate themselves as competition intensifies. By combining high-volume derivatives trading with newer products such as tokenised assets and AI-driven tools, BTCC is positioning itself to appeal to both active traders and users looking for broader digital finance services as it enters its 15th year.

- BTCC reported $3.7 trillion total trading volume in 2025.
- Global users reached 11 million, a 60% year‑over‑year increase.
