I have always been curious about how exchange rankings are determined. It wasn't until I read CoinGlass's 2025 Crypto Derivatives Market Annual Report that I realized—it's not just a simple ranking, but a result of multiple dimension indicators weighted and combined.

The core weight is on basic trading data, including trading volume, open interest, order book depth, slippage, and other hard metrics. But that's not comprehensive enough; the report also incorporates factors such as product line richness, platform security coefficient, information transparency, and trading market quality into the evaluation system.

This multi-dimensional scoring model is quite interesting. Different indicators are scored separately, then weighted and aggregated to produce the final comprehensive ranking. This means that for an exchange to rank high, it's not enough to excel in just one area; it must have strong capabilities across multiple aspects—sufficient trading depth, a complete product lineup, reliable security measures, and guaranteed transparency. This approach is also very useful for investors when choosing a platform.
