Zoomex September 2026 On-Chain Report & TradFi Expansion

Zoomex September 2026: An Action-Packed Month for Crypto and TradFi

September 2026 was an active month for Zoomex. The exchange continued expanding its Traditional Finance (TradFi) features while running a full calendar of community trading events.

The broader economic backdrop was far from quiet. The U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act bill, and the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time since 2023.

Despite macroeconomic turbulence, Bitcoin still ended the month on a positive note. Behind the market noise, Zoomex kept its verified on-chain reserves transparent, stablecoin-anchored, and openly trackable.

This monthly report reviews Zoomex's on-chain reserves, asset distributions across blockchains, and key platform metrics as tracked by DefiLlama, CoinMarketCap, and CoinGecko.

Platform Overview: Licensing and Global Reach

Founded in 2021, Zoomex is a global crypto trading platform specializing in derivatives. It serves over 3 million users across more than 35 countries and regions, listing over 700 trading pairs.

The platform focuses on transparent account balances and user-friendly tools. It regularly publishes proof-of-reserve updates to provide full visibility for traders.

Security remains a core focus for the exchange. Zoomex has completed third-party security audits conducted by Hacken and maintains active regulatory registrations.

These licenses include Money Services Business (MSB) registrations in both the United States and Canada, registration with the U.S. National Futures Association (NFA), and regulatory approval from Australia's AUSTRAC.

September Product Roadmap: Growing the TradFi Zone

Zoomex heavily built out its TradFi Zone in September, bridging conventional equity derivatives with cryptocurrency margin.

On September 1, Zoomex confirmed its Stock Perpetuals section had passed 50 total contracts across four major asset categories. This coincided with a Zero-Fee TradFi promotion that ran from August 28 to September 4.

On September 8, the platform announced an expansion covering more than 30 U.S. and global equity contracts. All of these products are margined and settled in USDT, offering 24/7 access.

Two days later, on September 10, Zoomex put the spotlight on Tesla (TSLA) and Nvidia (NVDA) derivative contracts. These offerings emphasize rule-based execution for traders seeking equity exposure.

On September 18, ahead of the Federal Reserve rate announcement, Zoomex featured popular ETF-linked perpetuals. Traders gained access to SPYUSDT, QQQUSDT, IWMUSDT, XLFUSDT, XLKUSDT, and TQQQUSDT through the Stock Perpetuals interface.

That same day, Zoomex relaunched its Zero-Fee TradFi promotion, running from September 11 through October 11, 2026. This promotion rebates 100% of actual trading fees on eligible stock, commodity, and stock token contracts, capped at 100 USDT per account.

Please note that trading stock derivatives and perpetual contracts carries financial risk due to market volatility. Traders should evaluate their financial goals before participating.

Tournaments and Event Markets: ZWTC 2026

On September 10, Zoomex launched its flagship competition, the Zoomex World Trading Championship 2026 (ZWTC 2026). The tournament features a total prize pool of up to 5 million USDT.

The tournament's main highlight, the Squad Competition, opened on September 21 and runs until October 11 at 10:00 UTC. It offers up to 2.5 million USDT in prizes divided across three leaderboards.

In addition, Zoomex Predict World continued running its established Long-Term event contracts. These complement shorter 5-minute, 15-minute, and 4-hour options, letting traders take positions on longer macroeconomic cycles.

Exchange Trading Volume Trends

Data tracked by CoinGecko shows that Zoomex's daily trading volume hovered between $125 million and $680 million during September.

The monthly low arrived on September 13 at around $125 million, while trading activity peaked on September 22 at approximately $680 million.

For context, September's peak reached about two-thirds of the $1.02 billion high recorded back in August.

Trading Volume Distribution by Pair

Tether (USDT) continues to serve as Zoomex's primary quote asset, settling 100% of tracked trading volume in September. Here is how volume broke down by pair:

• BTCBTC-0.82%/USDT: 53.5% of volume (up from 43.4% in August)
• ETH/USDT: 13.7% of volume (flipping USDC/USDT for second place)
• USDC/USDT: 11.6% of volume
• SOL/USDT: 3.9% of volume
• HYPE/USDT: 1.6% of volume
• XRP/USDT: 1.6% of volume
• ENA/USDT: 1.5% of volume
• Other Pairs: 12.6% combined tail

On-Chain Reserves: Stability in Asset Holdings

Zoomex's overall on-chain assets remained steady inside a narrow range between $34 million and $38 million throughout September.

According to DefiLlama's CEX Transparency tool, platform reserves opened near $36 million before dipping to a monthly low of $33.8 million on September 10.

Balances recovered to $36.5 million by September 15 and reached a monthly peak of $38 million around September 20. Assets then pulled back to $35 million on September 25 before closing the month around $37 million.

On October 13, live data tracked Zoomex reserves at $34.9 million.

This steady pattern shows clear baseline support without sudden spikes. These figures account for cold and hot wallet holdings tracked by DefiLlama, functioning independently alongside Zoomex's dedicated $50 million insurance fund.

Blockchain Network Allocation

Zoomex kept its on-chain reserves spread across 14 distinct blockchain networks in September.

EthereumETH-0.73% remains the largest chain held by Zoomex by a significant margin. It held roughly $15.7 million at month-end compared to $16.5 million on September 1, making up nearly 42% of all tracked assets.

Here is how reserves were distributed across other major blockchains:

• XRPL: Ranked second at $6.9 million, recovering from a mid-month low of $6.1 million to peak at $7.4 million on September 23.
• Tron: Experienced late-month activity, moving from $3.5 million to $2.0 million on September 22 before jumping to $4.0 million on September 30.
• Mantle: Increased steadily from $1.7 million to $2.1 million.
• SolanaSOL-0.04%: Doubled its balance from $1.0 million to $2.0 million over the month.
• BNBBNB+0.40% Smart Chain (BSC): Dropped from $2.2 million down to $1.5 million.
• Base & Arbitrum: Stayed flat at $1.45 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
• Other Networks: OP Mainnet, Polygon, Vaulta, Doge, and Sonic each held less than $0.5 million.

Bitcoin Network Activity Shift

The Bitcoin network recorded unusual temporary movements during September.

Its balance held around $0.8 million until September 14, spiked to $2.75 million on September 15, and peaked at $3.3 million on September 22.

It then quickly dropped to $1.6 million on September 23 and $1.1 million on September 24, ending the month at $0.95 million. This temporary spike suggests short-term custody transfers or settlement flows rather than long-term asset reallocations.

Token Balances and Capital Flow Patterns

Examining asset quantities rather than USD dollar values reveals interesting patterns in user trading behavior.

Pepe (PEPE) held the highest token count on the exchange. However, its total balance fell roughly 19% over the month, dropping from 8.7 billion units to 7.7 billion on September 17, and finishing around 7.1 billion by September 20.

Because meme coin holdings on exchanges usually reflect client deposits and withdrawals, this decline points toward user withdrawals. Bonk (BONK) balances remained flat at 2.5 billion units.

Meanwhile, the TBY token showed a periodic pattern, appearing at roughly 5.3 billion units across five windows (September 1–7, 10–11, 19–20, 24–25, and 29–30) and disappearing in between. This reflects temporary custody or recurring product settlement cycles.

Key Token Inflows and Outflows

Net capital flows across September were slightly negative. However, total asset values ended higher because positive asset price movements offset net capital outflows.

Key daily deposit and withdrawal events included:

• Bitcoin (BTC): Saw a $2.0 million gross inflow on September 15, followed by a $1.85 million outflow on September 23.
• Tether (USDT): Recorded major outflows on September 1 ($0.9M), September 19 ($1.35M), and September 22 ($1.6M). Rebound inflows arrived on September 29 with $1.65 million in USDT.
• Wrapped Ether (WETH): Accumulated notable deposits, adding $0.85 million on September 19 and $0.4 million on September 20.
• Tether Gold (XAUTXAUT-0.58%): Logged a minor inflow of $0.3 million on September 2.

Token Breakdown by Valuation

Looking at portfolio value in USD terms, September saw minor capital rotation across major crypto assets.

USDT started the month near $11.3 million, held between $9.5 million and $10.5 million through September 18, and touched a low of $6.6 million on September 24 before recovering to $9.1 million on September 30.

At the same time, WETH valuation rose from $4.3 million to $6.1 million between September 19 and 22, matching user inflows and shifting stablecoin value into Ethereum exposure.

Tether Gold (XAUT) holdings eased from $5.35 million to $5.0 million. This 7% drop was primarily caused by softer gold spot prices following record August levels.

Mantle (MNT) increased from $1.5 million to $2.0 million, while ETH ($1.6M), USDT0 ($1.0M–$1.2M), and AAVE maintained steady values.

Overall Reserve Portfolio Composition

At the end of September 2026, Zoomex's total tracked reserve mix looked as follows:

• USDT: 32.55%
• WETH: 16.12%
• XAUT: 13.42%
• BTC: 10.03%
• MNT: 4.55%
• ETH: 4.12%
• USDT0: 3.48%
• USDC: 3.19%
• AAVE: 3.08%
• TRON: 1.71%
• Others: 7.73%

Together, the top four assets (USDT, WETH, XAUT, and BTC) represent approximately 72% of tracked reserve assets.

Stablecoins (USDT, USDT0, and USDC combined) make up around 39% of the reserve total, while total Ethereum exposure (WETH and ETH combined) accounts for roughly 20%.

Stablecoin Dynamics and Recovery

Tether (USDT) represents almost the entire stablecoin backing recorded on Zoomex.

Total stablecoin reserves dropped from $11.5 million on September 1 to $7.3 million on September 24 (a 36% decline), before rebounding to $9.9 million on September 30.

Overall stablecoin balances ended the month down 14%. Because total platform assets remained stable between $34 million and $38 million, this movement reflected internal asset diversification rather than capital fleeing the platform.

Community Growth and Trading Activity Metrics

Zoomex closed September 2026 with over 3 million registered users globally.

The platform's official Telegram community expanded from 76,277 members to 82,319 members, demonstrating consistent engagement among retail traders.

According to independent review platform TradersUnion, Zoomex averages more than 1 million daily active traders.

The exchange continues listing new digital assets based on user demand and security reviews. Zoomex currently lists between 486 and 495 cryptocurrencies across 518 to 575 trading pairs.

September 2026 highlighted Zoomex's dual focus on expanding TradFi derivatives and maintaining verifiable on-chain reserves.

With transparent multi-chain holdings backed by a $50 million insurance fund, Zoomex provides users with public visibility into its financial position.
