Bitcoin Futures on Binance Hit Record Highs, Surpassing Global Real Estate Valuation!

by

After enduring days of a rather tiresome bearish trend, Bitcoin has finally regained its composure, stabilising above a rather astonishing $111,000 USD. Despite the recent decline, the world’s leading cryptocurrency has seen an exceptional surge in futures trading volume on Binance, reaching unprecedented levels. Oh, how the mighty have risen, or so they say! 😏

Bitcoin Futures on Binance Smash Records!

The recent drop from Bitcoin’s all-time highs has failed to dampen the spirits of the derivative markets on Binance – the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. This, dear reader, is a key indicator of Bitcoin’s growing influence in global finance, as its futures contracts on Binance have surged to levels never before seen. How quaint, a digital asset usurping traditional markets. 👀

Darkfost, a market expert and author, posted the news on social media platform X after analysing the Binance Spot/Futures Volume index. The spike in futures volume reflects an ever-growing demand for leverage in crypto trading. A true spectacle of financial evolution, if I may say so. 😌

“What a time to be alive!” 🏠💰

According to experts, this milestone comes right as Binance prepares to celebrate the 6th anniversary of its futures contract launch, first introduced on September 13, 2019. A fine vintage, indeed! 🍾

Thanks to its dominant position in the cryptocurrency space, this milestone marks a turning point in the way Bitcoin and the entire crypto market are traded. It also places Binance in a decidedly superior position compared to its rivals. Cheers to that! 🥂

The chart below also reveals that Bitcoin futures volume on Binance has skyrocketed during the current cycle. Notably, the index set an all-time high for daily trading volume, exceeding $85 billion on March 5, 2024, just as BTC made another valiant attempt to surpass its 2021 peak. Bold, audacious, and perhaps a little too bullish? 🤔

BTC Dominates Futures Trading on Binance

Since the launch of futures contracts, the market has quickly taken over the bulk of Bitcoin’s trading activity, overtaking spot trading in under a year. Such dominance clearly signals that the majority of BTC is now traded through futures rather than spot. According to the latest data, the Spot/Futures ratio on Binance stands at 0.22, meaning for every $1 traded on the spot market, $4 flows into futures contracts. A rather curious state of affairs, wouldn’t you agree? 😏

While futures contracts reign supreme in Bitcoin trading, the spot market has also seen a modest increase in volume in 2025, compared to 2023/2024, save for the 2024 March surge. According to Darkfost, this small uptick remains a positive sign, reflecting growing demand for direct BTC ownership. Keep an eye on that space, folks. 📈
