Their new platform is cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global (COIN.O), which on Aug. 16 became the first crypto-focused firm to win approval to offer cryptocurrency futures to U.S. retail customers.
Yet, trading volumes in derivatives decreased by nearly 13% in July to $1.85 trillion, the lowest monthly volume since December 2022 and second lowest derivatives trading volumes since 2021, research firm CCData reported.
Derivatives made up 78.2% of the total cryptocurrency trading volume on centralized exchanges in July, CCData reported.
Spot cryptocurrency trading volumes also fell 10.5% to $515 billion in the same period, CCData showed.
This essentially means that there is potential for growth in derivatives trading.
