Centralized crypto exchanges lost 31.2% of their spot crypto trading volume in July, falling to $727 billion and marking the lowest monthly total since October 2023. Decentralized exchanges also lost volume, but only 9.82%, settling at $176 billion.

That gap pushed DEXs to a record 19.5% share of combined spot volume.

Decentralized exchanges$176B-9.82%DEXs also fell, but proved more resilient
DEX share of combined spot19.5%Record highShare rose because the denominator shifted, not because DEX volume surged

Where the CEX collapse concentrated

BlockBeats' July crypto trading-platform ranking shows spot volume on major CEXs fell 35.5% month over month, while perpetual futures volume fell a smaller 19.6%.

The gap suggests spot was the weakest part of centralized crypto trading, while demand for leveraged trading proved relatively more resilient. The same dataset showed major CEX website traffic rose 3.0% even as app downloads slipped 2.1%, pointing to caution.

Robinhood's app recorded $18 billion of crypto trading in the second quarter, down 35% year over year, even as equity notional volume on the same platform jumped 85% and options activity rose 50%.

Coinbase said consumer crypto spot volume fell 38% year over year in the same quarter, while derivatives and prediction markets partly offset the decline.

TRM Labs separately estimated global retail-oriented crypto activity fell 11% year over year to $979 billion in the first quarter, the second straight quarterly contraction.
