Summary
- DeFiLlama's tally shows that major perp DEX trading volumes over the past 24 hours have shown a modest recovery.

As liquidity in the crypto (cryptocurrency) derivatives market has slowed, trading volumes on major perpetual futures (perp) decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have shown a limited rebound compared to the weekend low.
On the 23rd, crypto-focused media BlockBeats reported that, according to DeFiLlama's tally, major perp DEX volumes over the past 24 hours generally showed a mild recovery. However, with the Christmas holidays approaching, both institutional and retail investors have been on the sidelines, limiting trading activity.
By platform, Hyperliquid maintained the lead with approximately $6.18 billion in 24-hour trading volume. Total value locked (TVL) was about $4.12 billion, and open interest was $7.35 billion.
Raiter followed with about $5.81 billion in trading volume; TVL was $1.41 billion, and open interest was about $1.6 billion. Aster recorded about $5.11 billion in 24-hour trading volume, TVL of $1.28 billion, and open interest of $2.41 billion.
Others were EdgeX ($2.99 billion), Apex ($1.91 billion), Backpack ($1.3 billion), Variational ($960 million), and Pacifica ($589 million), respectively.
Market observers say that until the year-end holiday trading halt ends, perp DEX trading volumes are more likely to continue fluctuating within a limited range rather than showing a clear direction.
