Summary

RootData has launched the beta version of its Top Stock Derivatives Exchanges ranking, introducing a broader exchange leaderboard based on publicly verifiable transaction and order book data. The scoring model combines nearly 24-hour trading volume, liquidity and the number of active stocks. Real-time data on the new ranking showed Binance, Gate and OKX in the top three positions, while RootData said more exchange and stock data are still being integrated. The launch expands on earlier RootData market snapshots that highlighted venue-level trading conditions such as quoted spreads, a common indicator of execution costs and liquidity.
