$180M AVAX Influx to Coinbase Sparks Market Speculation Amid Crypto's Rising Commodities Share
The cryptocurrency market has been witnessing a surge in popularity, with a significant increase in the trade of traditional finance perpetuals (TradFi Perps) driven by tokenized commodities and equities. According to BitMEX's Q1 2026 quarterly report, TradFi Perps grew more than 500% during the period.
This growth is also reflected in the rise of silver perpetual contracts on crypto exchanges, which have surged from 1.37% of the Comex market in January to 14.98%. This trend suggests that investors are increasingly turning to cryptocurrencies for commodities trading.
