Bitcoin spot trading volume decreased 70% in April
Discover the effects of a 70% decrease in spot traded volume and the changing spot-to-futures ratio on Bitcoin's market dynamics.
Quick Take
- According to SwissBlock data, spot traded volume decreased by nearly 70% in April (MoM).
- This has been a trend that CryptoSlate has been monitoring for some time, and the spot-to-futures ratio has dropped considerably, according to the Block.
- Even though the futures side has also seen demand drop, we seem to be in this regime of a spot-to-futures ratio of 0.2.
- Coupled with an illiquid market, this can make the market even more irrational with price action.
