BingX added 565 new perpetual listings since the start of 2025 and grew its derivatives market share by 58% entering 2026, according to the CoinGecko 2026 State of Crypto Perpetuals Report released this week. The exchange now averages about 35 new contracts a month and has pushed into AI tokens, tokenized equities, and event-based trading — a mix that helped it notch year-over-year growth exceeding 66%.
565 New Markets and Counting
The sheer volume of new listings is unusual even for a top-tier derivatives platform. BingX's tally of 565 perpetual contracts since 2025 works out to roughly 35 new markets every month. The CoinGecko report singled out BingX as having one of the strongest market share growth trajectories in the entire perpetuals space. The exchange serves more than 40 million users worldwide and is ranked among the top five global crypto derivatives exchanges.
Betting Big on AI and Real-World Assets
BingX led the industry in new AI-related perpetual markets, listing 111 of them. It also expanded its RWA perpetual offerings, adding tokenized equity products tied to global companies. The exchange launched SpaceX pre-IPO and OpenAI pre-IPO perpetual trading — letting users bet on valuations before those firms go public. The CoinGecko report noted that trading volume related to RWAs in Q1 2026 already surpassed the total for all of 2025.
EventX: Trading the News, Not Just Tokens
Beyond crypto-native assets, BingX introduced EventX, an innovative contracts product that lets users trade the outcomes of major global events and digital assets. The product is a bet that traders want exposure to election results, regulatory decisions, or even sports outcomes — all settled on the exchange.
Two Big Sports Sponsorships
BingX has been the principal partner of Chelsea FC since 2024. This year it became the first official crypto exchange partner of Scuderia Ferrari HP. The partnerships give the exchange visibility in traditional sports, a move that mirrors wider crypto industry efforts to build brand recognition outside of trading circles.
The CoinGecko report suggests that the shift toward real-world assets and event-based contracts is still early. But BingX's numbers show it's already capturing a bigger slice of the derivatives market — and it's not slowing down.
