Axi expands crypto access with new perpetual contracts
Axi, a globally recognized provider of online trading services, has significantly expanded its crypto derivatives offering in response to the growing demand for perpetual futures. According to the broker, perpetuals—or “perps”—now dominate digital asset trading, accounting for nearly 70% of Bitcoin’s total volume and more than three-quarters of global derivatives activity.
- Chosen by 3 200+ local traders in the last 3 months.
- Traders earn on average 12% more per month vs other brokers.
Perpetual futures redefine crypto trading
Once a niche product, perpetual futures have quickly outpaced both spot trading and traditional derivatives to become the backbone of the crypto market. Recent research from Kaiko underscores this shift: 68% of all Bitcoin volume is now conducted through perpetuals, while these contracts made up 59% of overall crypto activity in Q2 2025. Within derivatives specifically, they represented 76% of turnover—a sharp rise compared with just a few years ago.
These contracts are popular because they combine high liquidity with the flexibility of 24/7 trading, without the expiration dates typical of standard futures, the company noted in its press release. Their leveraged structure also appeals to traders seeking short-term opportunities in volatile markets.
Axi’s strategic move
In response, Axi has introduced more than 150 new perpetual contracts for its users, covering both established cryptocurrencies and emerging tokens. This expansion makes Axi one of the few multi-asset brokers to integrate such a broad crypto lineup into a single regulated platform.
“With perpetuals driving most of the market activity, we are broadening our offerings to meet traders where the market is going,” said Stuart Cooke, Head of New Business at Axi. “Our goal is to bring everything together in one trusted ecosystem—perpetuals, copy trading, mobile apps, and institutional-grade support.”
Competitive edge and industry impact
Axi has paired this expansion with a new fee structure designed to compete with major offshore players such as Binance and Bybit. By combining transparent pricing with regulated oversight, the broker positions itself as a safer and more cost-effective venue for traders who might otherwise turn to less regulated exchanges.
As institutional adoption of crypto derivatives accelerates, the dominance of perpetuals is expected to continue. Axi’s push into the space highlights both the growing importance of these instruments in global markets and the race among brokers to capture share with trader-focused, integrated platforms.
Earlier this year, Axi also expanded its funded trader program by integrating MT5.
