This led to Hyperliquid surpassing Coinbase for the most popular assets in early 2026, which led to a significant increase in the financial sector.
In contrast, Binance, which launched RWA trading at the end of 2024, recorded $34 trillion in total trading volume in 2025 (the world’s largest exchange). Its active pairs are BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, and USDT/USDT.
Crypto exchange implementation of RWA
The recent growth of Binance has confirmed the trend among crypto platforms offering RWA trading. Oil and natural gas trading has been profitable recently after the US-Iran conflict disrupted energy supply and, in turn, prices. Oil is now trading above $100/barrel (25% more than its March 5 price of $80).
People’s reactions to X showed caution in giving 100x the chance, while others saw the move as profit chasing among crypto bears.
