Zoomex, the derivatives-focused crypto exchange, posted record May numbers this week. Daily futures volume topped $5.25 billion, while open interest climbed past $893 million. The exchange also crossed 3 million registered users, a milestone that comes as it expands licensing across North America and Asia.
Volume and liquidity
Zoomex's BTC/USDT perpetuals alone saw $2.06 billion in daily volume. The firm says it handles that flow with sub-10ms execution and about 0.03% slippage on 1 BTC orders—numbers that point to deep order books. Spot trading also jumped, with volume hitting $326 million after a 15.21% single-day surge. The capital turnover ratio, a measure of how quickly money moves through the exchange, sat at roughly 5.8x.
Licensing and compliance
Zoomex holds active money service business registrations with Canada's FINTRAC and the U.S. FinCEN, along with NFA registration and an Australian AUSTRAC license. It's also a member of Korea's CODE VASP Alliance and compliant with FATF Travel Rule standards. The exchange passed a Hacken security audit, adding another layer of credentialing.
Platform and community
With 700+ trading pairs covering perpetuals, inverse perpetuals, and spot, Zoomex operates in 35+ regions. The exchange has never issued a platform token and hasn't participated in venture capital or incubation projects—a relatively rare stance. In May, it ran a $600,000 zero-cost trading competition, a Bitcoin Pizza Day campaign, and a World Cup promotion giving away $300,000 in prizes.
The exchange is pushing its compliance and infrastructure story as it adds users. Whether it can sustain the volume momentum into the second half of the year will depend on order book depth and regulatory clarity in key markets.
