Cryptocurrency Spot Trading Volume Declines in Q2 2025 Despite Market Optimism

According to Odaily, a report by TokenInsight reveals that despite a favorable market environment in the second quarter of 2025, cryptocurrency spot trading volume decreased by 22%. The volume fell from $4.6 trillion in the first quarter to $3.6 trillion. This decline is primarily attributed to reduced trading activity and liquidity in altcoins. Meanwhile, the derivatives market showed resilience, with traders favoring high-frequency derivatives trading to hedge risks and capitalize on volatility. TokenInsight noted that although the Federal Reserve's decision to pause interest rate hikes in early April temporarily boosted market sentiment, concerns over a global economic slowdown and geopolitical tensions continue to influence investor behavior.
