Stock Perpetuals Average $607 Million in Weekend Volume Over Four Weeks

Stock perpetuals saw daily volume of $607 million on weekend days over the past four weeks, compared with $3.56 billion per weekday. Weekend volume was about 17% of the weekday average, which was nearly six times as much as the weekend figure.

A separate Q3 measure put weekend volume at about 14% of weekday levels across traditional-asset perpetual contracts on nine exchanges. That measure covered a broader contract group and a different period, so it is not directly comparable with the four-week stock-perpetual figures. See Q3 figures across nine exchanges.
