According to BlockBeats, on September 10th, trading activity in the cryptocurrency market rebounded significantly in August 2026. Key data points are as follows:

Spot trading led the growth: spot trading volume on major CEXs increased by 18.64% month-on-month, while perpetual contract trading volume increased by 10.89% month-on-month. The spot increase significantly exceeded that of contracts, indicating that the market recovery was mainly driven by spot buying.

Traffic and transactions diverge: Major centralized exchanges saw a slight decrease of 0.26% in website traffic and a 5.61% drop in app downloads in August. Despite a slowdown in new traffic, transaction volume bucked the trend and increased, indicating that this growth was primarily driven by improved transaction frequency and conversion rates among existing users.

Perp DEX also rebounded: Trading volume on mainstream perpetual contract DEXs increased by 8.98% month-on-month in August, while overall website traffic remained stable.
