August Yielded a Record Month in RWA Perp Volume
Cash markets do not share a clock and RWA perps don’t wait for them to agree. August was another record month against the previous report’s published July baseline. The tracked RWA perp market generated $751.9 billion in RWA perp volume, versus $708.3 billion in July, a 6.2% increase. The market also handled a wider range of situations. Memory equities reversed after a long run higher. Seoul paused program trading during a sharp selloff. Moderna doubled after a clinical readout. Different markets, different schedules, one place to keep trading. The month was larger AND broader: more assets, more types of event, and more reasons to trade around the clock. Yet, still a lot of market left to build. Memory Equities Traded in Both Directions July was a one-way memory trade. August brought the other side of it. The tracked memory complex — SNDK, SKHYNIX, SKHY, MU, SNXX, DRAM, and SAMSUNG — generated $327.4 billion, or 43.5% of August volume. Four of the ten most-traded assets came from the group: SNDK ranked first, SKHYNIX third, MU sixth, and SKHY tenth.
On August 4, the memory trade moved higher. SanDisk rose 8%, Micron 6%, and SK hynix 4% after the companies advanced the first Open Compute Project HBF specification. On August 18, it moved lower: Micron fell 5%, SanDisk 6%, Western Digital 7%, and SK hynix 6% as Treasury yields moved higher and investors repriced the trade. The same group drove both the rally and the selloff and kept trading through both. Korea Sold Off; Perps Kept Trading Korean exposure was not a side story. SKHYNIX ranked third, KORU ninth, and SKHY tenth. Together, they generated $117.1 billion, or 15.6% of August volume. On August 19, the KOSPI fell nearly 6% and a Korea selloff triggered a five-minute sell-side sidecar for program trading. After the close, SK hynix announced a 40 trillion won buyback plan, and the KOSPI recovered almost all of the previous session’s loss the next day. MRNA Perps Listed in Hours. Depth Did Not.

Market-Data Provider Ranking On the data provider and infrastructure front, Pyth remained the undisputed leader with over $715 billion in RWA perp volume secured, representing 96.27% of the total tracked RWA perp volume. One extra percentage point compared to July further solidifying Pyth Pro and Indices as the products powering 24/7 tradfi markets.

August Yielded a Record Month in RWA Perp Volume
Cash markets do not share a clock and RWA perps don’t wait for them to agree.
August was another record month against the previous report’s published July baseline. The tracked RWA perp market generated $751.9 billion in RWA perp volume, versus $708.3 billion in July, a 6.2% increase.
The market also handled a wider range of situations. Memory equities reversed after a long run higher. Seoul paused program trading during a sharp selloff. Moderna doubled after a clinical readout. Different markets, different schedules, one place to keep trading.
The month was larger AND broader: more assets, more types of event, and more reasons to trade around the clock. Yet, still a lot of market left to build.
Memory Equities Traded in Both Directions
July was a one-way memory trade. August brought the other side of it.
The tracked memory complex — SNDK, SKHYNIX, SKHY, MU, SNXX, DRAM, and SAMSUNG — generated $327.4 billion, or 43.5% of August volume. Four of the ten most-traded assets came from the group: SNDK ranked first, SKHYNIX third, MU sixth, and SKHY tenth.
On August 4, the memory trade moved higher. SanDisk rose 8%, Micron 6%, and SK hynix 4% after the companies advanced the first Open Compute Project HBF specification. On August 18, it moved lower: Micron fell 5%, SanDisk 6%, Western Digital 7%, and SK hynix 6% as Treasury yields moved higher and investors repriced the trade.
The same group drove both the rally and the selloff and kept trading through both.
Korea Sold Off; Perps Kept Trading
Korean exposure was not a side story. SKHYNIX ranked third, KORU ninth, and SKHY tenth. Together, they generated $117.1 billion, or 15.6% of August volume.
On August 19, the KOSPI fell nearly 6% and a Korea selloff triggered a five-minute sell-side sidecar for program trading. After the close, SK hynix announced a 40 trillion won buyback plan, and the KOSPI recovered almost all of the previous session’s loss the next day.
MRNA Perps Listed in Hours. Depth Did Not.
On August 19, Moderna and Merck reported positive Phase 3 results for their personalised mRNA cancer vaccine in melanoma. Moderna’s stock rose 176.97% in the session.
Very few venues had an MRNA market live before the result; TrueCurrent was one. A few more markets followed shortly after the news broke, including TradeXYZ.
