Bitcoin (BTC) Sees Explosive Trading Volume Surge
As traditional finance integrates cryptocurrency through innovations like Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and crypto debit cards, Bitcoin has surged in trading volume, rivalling giants like Visa and Mastercard.
Recently, Bitcoin’s daily trading volume reached $46.4 billion, surpassing Visa’s $38.9 billion and Mastercard’s $24.7 billion as of July 18, 2024.
Despite these milestones, Bitcoin still trails behind assets like gold and the SP 500, which command daily volumes of approximately $162.6 billion and $253 billion respectively.
Moreover, recent on-chain data from Santiment shows a decline in Bitcoin holders by 672,510 compared to the previous month, indicating cautious sentiment among traders amidst price fluctuations.
