This article is based on a sponsored press release provided by Zoomex. The release cites CoinGlass data showing total crypto trading volume of roughly $20.6 trillion in the first quarter of 2026, with derivatives contributing about $18.6 trillion, or nearly 90% of the total. Zoomex says the key market shift is not weaker activity, but a redistribution of liquidity across venues as traders place more weight on execution quality and trading efficiency.
In the company’s framing, competition between exchanges is moving away from simple asset listings and toward capturing order flow. The release points to NYSE’s parent company taking a stake in crypto trading and Deutsche Börse committing heavily to tokenized derivatives as signs of that change. Platform size, it argues, matters less if users can get better execution, cleaner usability and stronger trust elsewhere.
Execution quality takes center stage in a derivatives-heavy market
Zoomex says it uses a unified account structure to remove internal transfer delays between spot and derivatives trading, while supporting more than 590 perpetual contracts. The pitch is straightforward. A trader who can switch strategies without extra operational steps is less exposed to timing friction.
For market depth, the release cites CryptoRank research and says Zoomex shows strong order book liquidity across major assets, including more than 62.7 million USDT in BTC spot depth, around 29.8 million USDT for ETH, and over 20.5 million USDT for SOL. It also says execution tests found about 0.03% slippage on a 1 BTC market order. Those figures are presented as evidence that traders can access more stable fills and lower implicit trading costs across several assets.
Sub-10ms latency and a “glass-box” approach
The release says Zoomex infrastructure is designed to maintain latency below 10 milliseconds, a threshold it links to lower slippage in fast markets. Its broader claim is that many execution problems come from platform design rather than the market itself. Low latency and a unified account model are presented as tools to shorten the gap between trading intent and actual fill.
Zoomex also cites a 2025 study from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, saying ease of use has become a top factor in platform choice. On that basis, the company describes a simplified interface while stressing that order execution and account records remain clear and verifiable. The release places special emphasis on what it calls a “glass-box” standard, built around real-time asset displays and anti-manipulation protocols intended to reduce information asymmetry and prevent internal wash trading.
Company profile and regulatory claims
According to the release, Zoomex was founded in 2021 and now serves more than 3 million users across 35-plus countries and regions, with 700+ trading pairs. It says the platform holds registrations or licenses including Canada MSB, U.S. MSB, U.S. NFA, and Australia AUSTRAC, and has passed security audits by blockchain security firm Hacken.
The release also notes that Zoomex is an official partner of the Haas F1 Team and has an exclusive global brand ambassador partnership with goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. Its central message is clear: as derivatives keep dominating crypto activity and institutional participation expands, exchange competition is being judged more by predictable execution, transparent matching and operational efficiency than by scale alone.
