Bitcoin saw a drop in trading volume across both the spot and futures markets over the past five days. The decline, which followed a sharp drop in Bitcoin’s price after a week of extreme volatility, was likely driven by a combination of disappointing political developments, macroeconomic tensions, and weekend trading patterns.
Data from Checkonchain shows a stark contrast in the magnitude of the volume declines between spot and futures markets. Spot trading volume, representing the direct buying and selling of Bitcoin on centralized exchanges, fell from $12.07 billion on March 6 to $8.93 billion on March 10, a decline of just over 26%.

In contrast, futures trading volume dropped from $110.95 billion to $103.48 billion—a decrease of 6.73%. The spot market’s decline outpaced the derivatives market by 19.28 percentage points, showing greater sensitivity to market conditions.
