June 1, per Hyperinsight Monitoring (via Telegram channel: https://t.me/HyperInsight), on last Friday—the most recent trading day—Trade.xyz’s HIP-3 traditional asset contract hit $21.6 billion in trading volume, a 20% jump from its 7-day average. Over the same period, the broader traditional market (encompassing ETFs, futures, and cash stocks) saw roughly $1.56 trillion in trading activity. Calculations show Trade.xyz’s volume made up approximately 0.139% of the total traditional market. Looking at sector-specific penetration rates for on-chain RWA (real-world asset) contracts into traditional markets, figures vary across asset classes: ### Commodities For Brent Crude Oil: Using the prior day’s trading volume of the NYMEX front-month futures contract as a benchmark, Trade.xyz’s Brent contract volume reached ~29.7% (note: Brent Crude Oil is primarily traded on the Intercontinental Exchange, ICE). For WTI Crude Oil, Trade.xyz’s corresponding contract volume accounted for ~2.31% of its front-month futures volume. The combined share of both oils came to roughly 32%. Notably, WTI Crude Oil was the highest-volume single asset on Trade.xyz for the day, with $475 million in trading. ### US Stocks In traditional equities, Micron Technology (MU) and NVIDIA (NVDA) led trading volume. On Trade.xyz, their corresponding contract volumes made up approximately 0.278% and 0.14% of the global traditional stock market’s actual trading volume, respectively—with respective trade sizes of $163 million and $85.11 million.
