Bitcoin Daily Spot Trading Volume Hits New High of Over $46 Billion

Bitcoin’s spot trading volume has reached a high not seen since the peak days of 2021. On March 5th, it soared to over $46 billion across various centralized exchanges (CEXs).

The Surge Across Exchanges

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, led the charge in this monumental trading volume, with a staggering $23.84 billion worth of Bitcoin trades. Trailing behind, albeit with significant contributions of their own, were Coinbase and Bybit, with volumes of $4.83 billion and $4.29 billion respectively. Other notable exchanges like OKX, KuCoin, Upbit, and Kraken also contributed multi-billion dollar trading volumes.

This spike in trading activity wasn’t confined to Bitcoin alone. Ethereum (ETH) also saw its spot trading volume exceed $20 billion on the same day. Binance once again led the pack, accounting for half of the Ethereum trading volume.

Market Dynamics and Future Outlook

The market saw Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high at $69,324 shortly after the opening bell on Wall Street yesterday, only to see a correction of 9.75% to $59,323 later in the day. This kind of volatility is common in the crypto market, and analysts view this particular correction as necessary for “healthy consolidation” before the next surge.

However, the quick drop made people wonder what caused it—leverage, sudden sales by short-term buyers, or something else. Afterwards, over $1.17 billion worth of leveraged positions were closed across the cryptocurrency market. A big chunk of these were Bitcoin long positions.

The attention has turned to the future of Bitcoin, which is currently trading at $66,400. Numerous events, including the release of economic data, upgrades to Ethereum’s blockchain, and major regulatory developments, are causing experts to prepare themselves for more instability. There may be more trading and volatility in the bitcoin markets as a result of these.
