In August 2025, D Prime recorded a total trading volume of USD 139.57 billion and an average daily volume (ADV) of USD 4.50 billion. Both figures represented a modest dip of 3.16% compared with July, yet market volatility opened the door to new opportunities across asset classes.
August’s Market Drivers
Global events shaped much of August’s market sentiment. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled the possibility of a significant interest rate cut at the central bank conference, reinforcing expectations of a policy shift. Meanwhile, Donald Trump publicly questioned the independence of the Fed and called for an immediate cut, injecting further uncertainty into the outlook.
This environment fueled risk aversion, sending investors toward safe havens and driving gold prices higher. As a result, XAU/USD remained the most actively traded product of the month.
Top Performing Products
Several instruments made their mark in August. BTC/UST led the way in digital assets, expanding trading volumes by USD 500 million. GC_2512 posted the sharpest percentage growth, surging by 170.76%. Alongside gold, major pairs such as EUR/USD, US30 (Dow Jones), and GBP/USD continued to draw significant trading interest, proving their importance in volatile conditions.
