Binance's gold derivatives trading volume has already far surpassed the trading volumes of the largest gold derivatives exchanges in several countries. With this in mind, it's not that there's no money—it's just that most of the money in the crypto space isn't in altcoins. At its peak, this scale directly overshadowed the Middle East's largest gold derivatives exchange, DGCX, and exceeded India's largest commodity futures market, MCX, by about double. Japan's TOCOM was left trailing by a gap of four times. The money in the crypto space has always been there; it's just flowing into assets that amplify leverage and liquidity more easily, rather than being scattered across altcoins that lack consensus.
