Daily Trading Volumes in Crypto Derivatives Soar to Unprecedented Levels

Deribit, a prominent crypto derivatives exchange, announced on February 29 that its 24-hour trading volume had reached a record high of $12.4 billion. Additionally, Deribit noted that open interest, representing the number of derivatives contracts yet to be closed or settled on the platform, had surpassed $29 billion, marking another all-time high. The exchange also reported that client assets had reached $4 billion, setting yet another record.

On March 1, Coinbase Institutional revealed that its US-regulated futures exchange experienced its second-best day ever, with $380 million in notional volume traded in Bitcoin and Ether contracts. This volume was spread across a record 850 unique end-users on February 29.

Furthermore, the professional options trader’s platform, Greeks Live, reported a historic 24-hour high in options trading volume, reaching $620 million.

Regarding the market dynamics, Greeks Live observed that US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were driving the spot bull market, resulting in record volumes as Bitcoin’s price surged to as high as $64,000. Despite this, options volume positions saw only a modest increase, with solid inflows contributing to a healthy market structure.
