CFD broker Axi announced an expansion of its crypto perpetuals offerings. The broker added over 150 contracts covering major and emerging digital assets. This positions Axi among the few multi-asset brokers that integrate crypto derivatives within a single regulated platform.
The move comes as crypto trading is increasingly dominated by perpetual futures contracts. New data shows these contracts now account for nearly 70% of all Bitcoin volume and 76% of all derivatives activity globally.

Perpetual futures, or “perps,” have overtaken spot and traditional derivatives as the main instruments in crypto markets. Research from Kaiko and other industry trackers shows that 68% of Bitcoin volume is traded via perpetuals and 59% of total crypto activity in Q2 2025 came from perps.

This represents a notable increase from previous years and highlights the shift toward leveraged, round-the-clock trading instruments that mirror spot market liquidity.
Axi’s expansion includes more than 150 perpetual contracts and a fee structure aimed at undercutting rivals such as Binance and Bybit. The broker presents its platform as a regulated alternative to offshore exchanges, offering institutional-level clarity and support.

Traders’ Demand and Market Outlook
As perpetuals dominate crypto derivatives, traders are increasingly demanding transparency, liquidity, and cost efficiency. Axi says its competitive pricing and cross-product integration make it a contender in a derivatives market expected to grow alongside broader institutional adoption.
