Their share of total Stock Futures trading volume increased from 14% in July to 27% in August. SNDK (SanDisk) continued to record volume growth, although its share fell from 25% to 11%.

CRCL (Circle) ranked first, with trading volume up 69% month-on-month. COIN (Coinbase) and HOOD (Robinhood) also placed in the top 10. Combined trading volume across these three crypto-related listings rose 47%.
