In June, the total Bitcoin Forward Contract Trading Volume decreased by approximately 20% compared to the previous month! What does it mean?

The seasonal effects of summer have started to show in the crypto market. In June, the total Bitcoin futures trading volume fell to 1.55 trillion dollars, a decrease of about 20% compared to the previous month. This figure is significantly below the average monthly volume of 1.93 trillion dollars in the first five months of 2025.

Bitcoin Futures Trading Volume Decreased by 20% in June: A Signal of Summer Lull in Crypto Markets

A similar trend was observed last year as well. In June 2024, the futures trading volume decreased by 15.7% on a monthly basis, but although it partially recovered in July, the average volume remained low throughout the summer.

The average monthly figure during the period from June to September 2024 will be 1.53 trillion dollars, which is 10% lower than the average of 1.71 trillion dollars in the first five months of the year.

This seasonal downtrend was also observed in 2023. The monthly average Bitcoin futures trading volume, which was 1.03 trillion dollars in the first half of 2023, dropped to 717 billion dollars in July 2023, marking a decline of approximately 30% on a monthly basis.

In the two months following this, the decline continued, with a decrease of 2.4% in August and 21.5% in September.

June 2025 data indicates that the volume drop trend may repeat this year during the summer months.

Analysts indicate that although it is still early to make a definitive judgment, this development has strengthened the likelihood of a summer stagnation in the crypto markets. The trading volumes in the coming months will clarify the impact of this season on the market.
