On March 1, Coinbase Institutional said its United States-regulated futures exchange had its second-best-ever day of $380 million notional volume traded in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) contracts across a record 850 unique end-users on Feb. 29.

On March 1, Greeks Live noted that U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were driving the spot bull market, which saw record volumes this week as Bitcoin’s price hit as high as $64,000.
