Odaily Planet Daily News Devin Ryan, an analyst at JMP, a stock research institution, said that driven by institutions, the trading volume of cryptocurrency exchanges is picking up. The data shows that in the past month, the daily trading volume (seven-day moving average) of the exchange has risen sharply, climbing from $11 billion on May 26 to nearly $19.5 billion on June 26, but it is far from the last crypto bull market cycle. There is still a big gap between the peak of more than $150 billion. Devin Ryan attributes the recent increase in volume to institutional entry. “We believe the uptick in (cryptocurrency exchange) volumes in the week ended June 24, along with a 12% rise in the total cryptocurrency market capitalization, may be attributable to BlackRock’s filing with the U.S. SEC,” he said. Some momentum after the spot bitcoin ETF application.” After BlackRock, Invesco, Fidelity and other giants have also followed up. Elsewhere, LMAX Digital, which caters to institutional clients, saw total notional volume of $415 million on Monday, 15 percent above the 30-day average. (The Block)
