On November 10, 2021, the crypto economy’s 24-hour spot market trade volume worldwide was approximately $181.54 billion and more than 10,000 crypto assets had a valuation of around $3.13 trillion.

While bitcoin futures volume was down this past April, metrics indicate BTC futures volume spiked in May and even higher in June hitting $1.32 trillion. Bitcoin futures market leaders, in terms of monthly trade volume, include crypto exchanges like Binance, Bybit, Okex, FTX, and CME Group.


While bitcoin options open interest followed the same pattern as BTC futures open interest, bitcoin options volumes also saw an increase in May and June.
