According to @simplykashif, Binance’s institutional trading volume is up 21% year over year; OTC fiat volume is up 210%; tokenized funds are being used as collateral; and fund-style account structures have been launched (source: @simplykashif on X, Jan 15, 2026).

According to the source, DefiLlama will delist Aster's perpetual futures volume data due to integrity concerns, citing that Aster's trading volumes are almost perfectly correlated with Binance.
