Bitcoin was the most-traded crypto on WazirX in August 2026 across both Spot and Futures markets, followed by Ethereum. While the Spot rankings remained unchanged from July, Futures activity saw a notable rotation, with Tutorial (TUT) and XRP entering the top five alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.
What Were the Most-Traded Cryptos on WazirX in August 2026?
Bitcoin was the most-traded crypto on WazirX in August 2026, ranking first in both Spot and Futures. Ethereum ranked second in both markets. SHIB, XRP and TRX completed the Spot top five, while TUT, XRP and Solana completed the Futures top five.
August’s rankings also revealed a clear difference between the two markets. Spot trading remained concentrated around the same established cryptos seen in July, while Futures activity rotated toward coins experiencing stronger short-term price movement and market attention.
Top 5 Most-Traded Spot Cryptos in August 2026
| Rank | Crypto | Price in INR (As of 14th Sep) |
| 1 | Bitcoin (BTC) | ~₹76,39,477 |
| 2 | Ethereum (ETH) | ~₹2,49,000 |
| 3 | Shiba Inu (SHIB) | ~₹0.000526 |
| 4 | XRP (XRP) | ~₹135.0007 |
| 5 | Tron (TRX) | ~₹33.6420 |
1. Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin remained the most-traded Spot crypto on WazirX in August 2026, retaining the #1 position from July.
August was also an active month for BTC prices. Bitcoin moved sharply higher during the second half of the month, rising from around $64,100 on August 19 to nearly $69,900 during the broad crypto rally on August 20. It later approached the $80,000 level toward the end of the month.
BTC’s combination of high liquidity, market depth and its role as the largest crypto by market capitalization kept it at the center of trading activity on WazirX.
2. Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum remained the second-most-traded Spot crypto on WazirX in August.
ETH experienced some of the strongest large-cap price movement during the month. On August 20, Ether jumped about 18% in 24 hours to above $2,250, compared with Bitcoin’s roughly 8% rise during the same period.
The increase brought significant attention back to ETH, but it did not alter the WazirX ranking. Ethereum remained behind Bitcoin and comfortably ahead of the other Spot coins for a second consecutive month.
3. Shiba Inu (SHIB)
Shiba Inu retained third place, making it the highest-ranked meme coin among WazirX’s most-traded Spot cryptos in August.
SHIB traded through several periods of volatility during the month but ultimately recorded a relatively modest monthly increase. Historical market data shows SHIB ending August around 3.2% above its August 1 level, with a considerably wider intramonth trading range.
Its third-place ranking for another month shows that trading interest in SHIB remained strong even without a major change in the leaderboard.
4. XRP (XRP)
XRP remained fourth in the Spot market but became more significant in August because it also entered WazirX’s Futures top five.
XRP participated strongly in the broader crypto rally during the second half of August. On August 20, XRP climbed around 10% in 24 hours, returning above the $1 level as several major cryptos moved higher.
Its appearance across both WazirX markets made XRP one of only three cryptos, alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, to rank in the top five for both Spot and Futures during August.
5. Tron (TRX)
Tron retained fifth place after returning to WazirX’s Spot top five in July.
TRX was comparatively steadier than several other major cryptos during August. Historical price data shows it rising from approximately ₹30.63 on August 1 to ₹30.96 on August 31, an increase of about 1.1% for the month.
That makes Tron’s ranking particularly interesting. Its continued presence in the top five was not dependent on an outsized monthly price rally, indicating sustained trading activity around TRX on the platform.
Top 5 Most-Traded Crypto Futures in August 2026
Unlike Spot, the Futures leaderboard changed noticeably in August.
Bitcoin and Ethereum retained the top two positions and Solana remained fifth, but Tutorial and XRP replaced AKEDO and Esports Token. The result was a Futures ranking split between established large-cap cryptos and one of August’s most volatile smaller tokens.
1. Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin remained the most-traded crypto Futures market on WazirX in August, extending its position at the top from July.
The month’s wide BTC price swings provided traders with several periods of strong directional movement. Bitcoin fell toward the mid-$60,000 range before accelerating sharply in the second half of August and later approaching $80,000.
Despite considerable rotation further down the Futures leaderboard, Bitcoin’s position at #1 remained unchanged.
2. Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum also held its July position, remaining WazirX’s second-most-traded Futures crypto.
ETH’s August volatility was especially notable. Its approximately 18% move on August 20 made it one of the strongest-performing major cryptos during that phase of the market rally.
With ETH ranking second in both Spot and Futures for another month, Ethereum remained one of the few cryptos attracting significant trading activity across both markets.
3. Tutorial (TUT)
Tutorial (TUT) was the biggest new entrant in WazirX’s August Futures ranking, moving directly into third place.
Its appearance coincided with exceptional market volatility. On August 9, TUT rose nearly 288% within 24 hours, while global 24-hour trading volume exceeded $600 million according to CoinGecko-based market data. Other market data recorded an all-time high above $0.23 around August 10 before the token corrected sharply.
The volatility did not end with the initial rally. TUT later recorded significant rebounds and declines during August, including a reported 42% fall on August 25.
That exceptionally wide price movement coincided with TUT becoming WazirX’s third-most-traded Futures crypto for the month.
4. XRP (XRP)
XRP entered WazirX’s Futures top five at fourth place while simultaneously retaining fourth place in the Spot rankings.
That makes XRP’s August performance particularly notable from a trading-activity perspective. It moved from appearing only in July’s Spot top five to ranking among the most-traded cryptos across both Spot and Futures in August.
The shift also came during a volatile month for XRP. The token gained around 10% on August 20 as it recovered above $1 during a broad market rally.
5. Solana (SOL)
Solana retained fifth place in the Futures rankings for a second consecutive month.
SOL was another major crypto that participated strongly in August’s broader rebound. On August 20, Solana gained more than 10% in 24 hours to around $84.50, taking its seven-day increase at the time to roughly 12%.
While TUT and XRP changed the middle of the Futures leaderboard, SOL’s continued fifth-place position kept it among WazirX’s most actively traded Futures markets.
Which Crypto Was Traded the Most in August 2026?

Which Cryptos Were Most Popular for Futures Trading in August 2026?
The five most-traded Futures cryptos on WazirX in August 2026 were Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tutorial, XRP and Solana, in that order.

Final Thoughts
The most-traded cryptos on WazirX in August 2026 showed that market leadership remained concentrated around Bitcoin and Ethereum, but trader attention below the top two continued to evolve.
The unchanged Spot rankings reflected sustained activity around established cryptos, while the arrival of Tutorial and XRP in the Futures top five showed a much faster rotation in Futures markets.
Tracking these rankings month by month creates a useful record of which cryptos are attracting trading activity on WazirX, how Spot and Futures behavior differs, and where trader attention is shifting over time.
