✨Market Overview
A Growing Opportunity in On-Chain Trading
The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is rapidly maturing, with trading platforms playing an increasingly central role in the Web3 economy. According to the Crypto Trading Platform Global Market Report 2025, the global crypto trading market is projected to grow from $29.2 billion in 2024 to $33.7 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.06%. This growth reflects not just increased adoption of digital assets, but a broader shift toward algorithmic execution, non-custodial trading, and user-owned financial infrastructure.
As decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and on-chain strategies become mainstream, a new generation of products is emerging to serve the growing need for automation, capital efficiency, and user-friendly trading infrastructure.

Market Segmentation: TAM / SAM / SOM
To evaluate the market opportunity for Dexonic, we define the Total Addressable Market (TAM), the Serviceable Available Market (SAM), and the Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM):
TAM (~$33.7B): This represents 1% of the entire global crypto trading volume, a conservative yet significant estimate of on-chain or decentralized trading’s share of the broader market.
SAM (~$15.5M): This is derived from Aptos trading specifically. Based on DeFiLlama data, Aptos DEXs handled around $68.6B in trading volume in 2024, which translates to an estimated $15.5M in protocol-level trading revenue.
SOM (~$1.55M): Dexonic aims to capture at least 10% of Aptos’s protocol-level trading revenue, focusing on users seeking automated, strategy-driven solutions, a segment currently underserved on Aptos.
Dexonic enters a market where the infrastructure is still early, but the capital and demand are already moving. With a clear entry point, a focused user segment, and a rapidly expanding protocol economy, the product is well-positioned to convert emerging trading volume into long-term value.

Most existing trading tools fall into one of three categories: analytics platforms, centralized trading bot services, or native DEXs. While analytics platforms provide strong charting capabilities, they lack execution and automation. Centralized bot services focus on multi-exchange automation but do not integrate with on-chain infrastructure like Aptos. Native DEXs, meanwhile, offer basic swap functionality but little in the way of intelligent decision support. Dexonic bridges these gaps by combining technical indicators, market insights, and auto-trading AI into a seamless, Aptos-native experience, optimized for users who value clarity, simplicity, and long-term performance.
