Bitcoin trading volumes for the exchange of spots and futures have skyrocketed over the past two days as underlying assets were pumped to new heights.
Spot trading volumes with the market value of the world’s largest crypto marketplace reached a two-day total at $150 billion in nearly two months, according to CoinMarketCap, data provider of Crypto Markets. Meanwhile, BTC futures trading volume on Wednesday exceeded $203 billion, the third-highest daily total of 2025, according to Coinglas.
These numbers come when BTC prices rise to shyness at $112,000. Bitcoin has recently traded at around $111,100, up 2% over the past 24 hours and nearly 8% over the past week. The surge came when investors supported it by encouraging macroeconomic indications, but also buy assets with confidence as Bitcoin’s position as a potential hedge against the potential depreciation of the US dollar.
Coinglass data does not include inflows into the American Spot Bitcoin ETF. This has so far attracted more than $1.6 billion inflows from investors this week.
This year, it was only the 10th of this year, and this year it has achieved over $75 billion in Bitcoin volume. Coinglass shows that the only day this year’s Bitcoin futures volume has been high so far was January 20th, when volumes reached $229.7 billion and $222.9 billion respectively.
The crypto market rebounded as Trump reversed his world trade war, and the latest inflation measurements were in favour.
The record-breaking surge in Bitcoin was also brought about by rising demand for Bitcoin ETFs and the continued recent purchase of Bitcoin by public companies including Strategy and Metaplanet. Previously, MicroStrategy currently owns around 576,000 bitcoins at the Treasury Department, worth more than $64.5 billion at its current price.
Major altcoins also rose in the same period as Ethereum, the second-largest digital asset by market value, and have grown by 56% over the past 30 days. ETH has recently changed hands over $2,600, an increase of 5.6% over the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin often trades with stocks in its short history, and recently trades along Safe Haven Asset Gold as the markets are trying to explain macroeconomic uncertainty.
