Decentralized exchanges gain trading share as lower costs and better interfaces attract users.

Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have nearly doubled their share of spot trading from 6.9% in January 2024 to 13.6% in January 2026, with perpetual futures DEX share rising from 2.0% to 10.2% in the same period. This growth is attributed to lower operating costs in custody, security, and customer verification, as well as improved trading interfaces. However, centralized exchanges still dominate overall trading volume and are preferred by Ethena Labs for hedging its synthetic dollar due to their risk controls. The rise in DEX trading share shows a shift in market dynamics but is not solely due to cost advantages.

The story on Ethena Founder and DEX market share is presented with Pluang's cryptocurrency market data for context. For readers following major cryptocurrencies, as of Oct 21, 2026 06:12 WIB, 45 of 50 major cryptocurrencies rose while 4 fell. BAL (Balancer) led gains with an 11.14% increase to Rp16.297 and a typical hold time of 85 days, compared to EOS (EOS.IO) at Rp12.649 with an 8.13% rise and 87 days hold time, and VET (VeChain) at Rp129 with a 6.11% increase, a longer hold time of 148 days, and a nearly balanced Pluang order activity of 49% Sell to 51% Buy.
