How to read it. The ratio is perpetual futures quote volume divided by spot quote volume on the same exchanges, in the same quote currency. Only Binance and Bybit count: they are the exchanges where this site records both markets. A ratio rising above its usual range means leverage is doing more of the trading; a falling one means spot is taking over. Compare with ALT spot vs perp net buying, ALT basis and the ratio for every coin.

ALT spot vs perp volume FAQ

What is ALT's spot vs perp volume ratio?

ALT's perpetual futures quote volume divided by its spot quote volume over the same period, on the exchanges where both markets are recorded here (Binance and Bybit, same quote currency).

Is a high ALT perp/spot ratio bearish?

Not by itself. It means leveraged traders are doing more of the trading than spot holders, which often comes with crowded positioning and can precede sharp moves either way. Read it next to ALT's basis, CVD and funding. Nothing here is financial advice.

Why can the chart differ from the 24h figures?

The figures at the top are the exchanges' own rolling 24-hour volumes, live. The chart is built from the 1-minute bars this site records, per hour or per day, so it has gaps where recording stopped and its buckets start on the hour or at midnight UTC.
