Coincall has joined the ranks of the top five cryptocurrency options exchanges by trading volume, and has introduced the "Trade to Earn" feature.

Dubai, UAE, March 28, 2025, Chainwire

The cryptocurrency exchange Coincall has officially entered the top five global cryptocurrency options exchange trading volume, a milestone achieved just 18 months after its establishment. This achievement highlights the platform's rapid growth in this increasingly institutional and retail-interesting field.

According to internal data and third-party analysis, the performance surge is attributed to the successful first-quarter strategies, including high-impact marketing campaigns and new product launches with well-known crypto partners such as SignalPlus, DWF, and Big Candle Capital.

Cryptocurrency Options: From Niche Strategies to Core Market Structure

Options, once the domain of quant teams and hedge funds, are now becoming the preferred tool for native crypto investors. These contracts give traders the right (not the obligation) to buy or sell assets at a set price—enabling complex hedging, volatility trading, and directional speculation.

As the digital asset market matures, cryptocurrency options are increasingly seen as a key part of the financial infrastructure. Reports this month indicated that Coinbase is in rumored talks to acquire the market-leading BTC and ETH options platform Deribit for a reported $40-50 billion, bringing this narrative into the mainstream spotlight. While the negotiations have cooled off, the message from the market is clear: crypto derivatives are no longer supporting characters; they have become the main act.

Youngest in the Top Five—Fastest Growth

Coincall's breakout is notable not only for its speed but also for its relative youth. The exchange, founded in late 2023, has now risen to the ranks of top exchanges, currently making up 9-10% of Deribit's size.

According to Laevitas data, during the period from March 8 to 17, 2025, Coincall's average market share reached 5.43%, with a peak of 10.15% on March 15. The exchange recorded market shares of 9.78% on March 8 and 6.64% on March 16, demonstrating its momentum and competitiveness in the global crypto options space.

Coincall's relative market share and growth trajectory have made it the youngest exchange to ever break into the top five and potentially one of the most likely candidates among emerging platforms for acquisition or institutional partnerships. As attention shifts from established giants to agile challengers, Coincall has become the centerpiece of this discussion, with its market share nearing industry leader ByBit.

Vision Leading Development

In January of this year, Coincall appointed former Alibaba Group (NASDAQ ticker: BABA) strategist, long-time cryptocurrency investor Daryl Teo, as Chief Operating Officer and minority shareholder. He joined the team led by CEO Jimmy, with other executive members previously from OKX, Paradigm, and ByteDance.

"We are witnessing cryptocurrency gaining consensus-level legitimacy as a store of value," Teo stated, "Options are the next wave—they offer leverage, flexibility, and strategy. Coincall's mission is simple: to make everyone's investment fast, intuitive, and secure."

"Earn While You Trade" Feature: Unlocking Yield + Capital Efficiency

Coincall's latest innovation, "Earn While You Trade" (EWYT), aims to eliminate the traditional trade-off between yield farming and active trading.

Through EWYT, users can:

• Earn up to 6.4% APY on USDT holdings

• Use 90% of their staked funds as trading margin

• Withdraw funds anytime—no lock-up period

• Improve capital efficiency for active traders

This feature allows users to earn yield on idle funds without giving up trading activity, providing a new avenue for capital efficiency. For more details, please refer to this link.

Macro Trend: Crypto Infrastructure Heating Up

The rise of Coincall reflects a broader tailwind for crypto infrastructure. According to PitchBook data, VC investment in crypto and blockchain startups reached $11.5 billion in 2024 across 2,153 deals—a strong rebound post the previous bear market cycle.

“The next phase of the crypto industry will be defined by true infrastructure,” Teo said. “Those focused on capital efficiency and user accessibility in intentionally building platforms will shape the next decade.”
