98 named futures venues across 43 countries and regions — but only 33 are freshly evidenced in FIA material
Asked:return a list of all futures exchanges in the world
A global directory of futures and derivatives exchanges as researched on 1 September 2026. The broad directory holds 98 named exchange, venue, or group entries across 43 country and region labels; a stricter cross-check against FIA 2025–2026 exchange-traded-derivatives material evidences 33 currently active venues. No single authoritative registry defines “all futures exchanges”, so both views are shown.

How to read this directory. There is no single authority defining a “futures exchange”: the broad directory intentionally includes parent groups, legacy or predecessor venues, and entries whose operating status could not be verified — every such row carries a caution badge rather than being removed. The stricter FIA-evidenced set (33 venues) is useful but not exhaustive: FIA coverage and the semantic filter may omit smaller venues or roll them up at group level. Futures exchanges can also list options, and many securities exchanges run futures segments rather than standalone legal exchanges. Pan-European entries are regional, not national, and are listed beside the map.
The United States accounts for 20 of the 98 broad-directory entries — the largest single-country cluster — followed by China, India, and Japan with 5 each. en.wikipedia.org
All 98 broad-directory rows lack a verified operating status, so each carries a caution badge; 5 entries are parent groups referenced as operators by other rows. en.wikipedia.org
Eurex is the most-cited venue in recent FIA material with 38 source-page mentions, ahead of B3 and Dalian Commodity Exchange at 29 each — mention counts reflect research-query hits, not trading volume. fia.org
Several FIA-evidenced venues — including Abaxx Exchange, Bitnomial, Coinbase Derivatives, and Crypto.com — do not appear in the broad directory at all, a sign neither list is complete on its own. fia.org
Recently evidenced in FIA material — 33 venues
Bar length is the number of FIA source pages mentioning the venue (not trading volume). Green mark: also present in the broad directory.

Method: broad directory of 98 exchange, venue, or group entries across 43 country/region labels compiled from the Wikipedia list of futures exchanges; stricter set of 33 venues cross-checked against FIA Trends in ETD Trading 2025, Q1 2026 ETD webinar, and July 2026 ETD volume material. Researched 1 September 2026. FIA mention count is the number of FIA source pages found by the research query, not volume. Operating statuses were not verifiable from the sources and are shown as cautions rather than facts. Map colours count directory entries per country; Pan-European entries are listed beside the map.
