As shown in the previous graph, the negotiation volume of futures btc observed a decrease last month, but its value has recently found a rebound. In its minimum, the indicator approached the $ 40 billion brand, but since then it has risen to $ 57 billion.
“The volume of bitcoin futures began the year at $ 60b, reached its maximum point at $ 63b and TD, and is now at $ 57B, 32% higher since February 23, but still below the peak of $ 74b of December,” says the analysis firm.
Although the number one cryptocurrency has registered an increase in metric recently, the same has not been true for ethereum and Solana. From the table, it is evident that the indicator has moved relatively flat for these two assets.

The volume of futures of ethereum measured around $ 32 billion at the beginning of the year and today is at $ 28 billion, which is not so important. Similarly, the indicator started the year at $ 7 billion for Solana and is now $ 8.7 billion, once again a relatively small change.

The volume of trades of futures serves as a look at what is the speculative interest around a cryptocurrency. The recent trend would imply that bitcoin has been attracting the attention of investors, while the Altcoins remain obsolete.
In other news, the Intotheblock market intelligence platform has revealed in an x <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/intotheblock/status/1902032681795277149/photo/1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow”>mail How bitcoin's long -term headlines have recently increased their supply.

According to Intotheblock, long -term holders generally accumulate during bears markets, so this last change could be a sign that the feeling is changing towards a bassist. The analysis firm also points out, however, “keep in mind that this is not always a reliable signal: that is, in mid -2011, the similar accumulation did not lead to a prolonged recession.”
