July crypto market trends revealed a strong resurgence in trading activity across centralized and decentralized exchanges.

Crypto exchange volume hit $1.71 trillion, marking the highest level since February. This was a 55% increase from June’s $1.1 trillion, signaling renewed investor confidence and market momentum.

Binance dominated the landscape, processing $683 billion in volume. That’s a sharp rise from $436 billion in June and the highest since January’s $801 billion. Bitget, Bybit, and Upbit followed with volumes of $126 billion, $122 billion, and $110 billion, respectively.

This uptick in volume coincided with a broader rally in the crypto market. Bitcoin recorded its highest monthly close in history at $115,644. It gained 7.5% from the start of the month, rising from around $107,000. Ether posted an even bigger surge, jumping 49.5% during July. These movements reflect strong investor sentiment, likely driven by positive macroeconomic signals and increased institutional interest.

Market Leaders Drive Momentum

The dominance of Binance and the gains by Ethereum and Bitcoin reflect coordinated market optimism. This rebound in July indicates stronger traction than previously seen in the past few months.

Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) also saw significant growth. Their combined trading volume in July reached $435.3 billion. This was the highest level since January, driven by platforms like PancakeSwap. It alone contributed $188.6 billion in trades, reinforcing the increasing popularity of decentralized finance (DeFi).

The high DEX numbers point toward growing interest in non-custodial trading options. Users appear to be diversifying across centralized and decentralized platforms to manage exposure and risk. It also suggests confidence in Web3 technologies and more user-friendly DeFi interfaces.

Why did crypto exchange volume surge in July?

The rise in crypto exchange volume in July is largely attributed to renewed investor interest, a strong market rally, and positive sentiment surrounding major tokens like Bitcoin and Ether. Bitcoin’s 7.5% gain and Ether’s 49.5% jump helped drive more trading activity. Institutional investors may have also contributed, with speculation around ETF approvals and easing macroeconomic pressures encouraging participation. The rally made users more confident in entering the market, resulting in the highest trading volume since February.

Which crypto exchanges led the market in July?

Binance led the crypto exchange market in July with $683 billion in volume, the highest since January 2025. Bitget followed with $126 billion, while Bybit and Upbit recorded $122 billion and $110 billion, respectively. Binance’s volume increased by more than $200 billion month-over-month, showcasing its continued dominance and strong user base. This concentration at the top indicates that traders still trust established platforms during times of market acceleration.

What role did DeFi play in July’s crypto trend?

DeFi played a substantial role in July’s crypto market trends. Decentralized exchange volume hit $435.3 billion, the highest since January. PancakeSwap led with $188.6 billion in volume. This shows increased user adoption of decentralized platforms and reflects a growing trend of trust in non-custodial trading systems. More users are now leveraging DeFi tools to trade, farm, and swap assets without relying on centralized authorities, indicating a maturing Web3 space.

Is this the start of a longer-term bull run in crypto?

July’s strong numbers hint at the possibility of a longer-term bull run, but it’s not guaranteed. Sustaining this momentum will depend on broader economic conditions, regulatory developments, and continued user adoption. ETF news, global interest rates, and macro policy changes will heavily influence sentiment. If institutional inflow continues and major assets like Bitcoin and Ether keep gaining value, this could mark the beginning of a new bullish cycle.
