Zoomex Targets Share of $18.6T Crypto Derivatives Flow
Derivatives made up $18.6 trillion of $20.6 trillion in global crypto trading in Q1 2026. Zoomex says it is positioning its platform to capture migrating derivatives liquidity.
CoinGlass data show derivatives accounted for $18.6 trillion of $20.6 trillion in global crypto trading in Q1 2026. Zoomex said it is preparing its platform to attract a portion of that derivatives volume as liquidity moves across venues.
Zoomex, founded in 2021, reported more than 3 million users across over 35 countries and said it offers more than 700 trading pairs. The company listed regulatory registrations including Canada MSB, U.S. MSB, U.S. NFA and Australia AUSTRAC, and said it has completed security audits by Hacken.
Zoomex described product and infrastructure features aimed at execution efficiency. The platform uses a unified account model to remove internal transfers between spot and derivatives. It also operates a matching engine the company says is engineered for sub-10 millisecond latency and lists more than 590 perpetual contracts.
Independent order-book analysis cited by the firm shows BTC spot depth above 62.7 million USDT, ETH depth around 29.8 million USDT and SOL depth exceeding 20.5 million USDT. The company reported execution testing where a 1 BTC market order produced about 0.03% slippage.
Zoomex referenced a 2025 Financial Conduct Authority study that found ease of use is a primary factor in platform selection. The firm said its interface aims to balance simplicity with clear records of orders and accounts to support predictable execution for retail and institutional customers.
In a statement, Zoomex wrote: “As traders become more selective, platform choice is increasingly defined by execution efficiency, usability, and trust.” The statement added: “Transparency is more than a report; it’s a verifiable fund flow,” describing real-time asset displays and anti-manipulation protocols intended to reduce information asymmetry.
Market participants have noted a shift in competitive focus from which assets an exchange lists to capturing trading flow. The parent company of the New York Stock Exchange has taken a stake in crypto trading, and Deutsche Börse has committed to tokenized derivatives, moves that reflect growing institutional interest in trading venues.
Zoomex cited these trends as context for its product decisions and infrastructure investment. The company also noted sponsorship and marketing ties, including an official team partnership with Haas F1 Team and a global brand ambassador engagement with goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez.
