Derivatives run this game in crypto:
> Derivatives make up ~74% of total crypto volumes
> BTC perps alone account for ~68% of BTC’s daily turnover
> Q2 2025 derivatives volume: $20.2T (CEX) vs a much smaller spot market.

Avantis has launched onchain perp for the major U.S. equity indices SPY (S&P 500) and QQQ (Nasdaq 100), giving non-U.S. users access to over $25M in liquidity and up to 100x leverage.
This update marks the beginning of Avantis’s onchain equities roadmap. onchain equities are being unlocked.
