The summer months traditionally impact cryptocurrency markets, as evidenced by the decline in Bitcoin futures volume in June 2025.
General Trends in Crypto Markets
In June 2025, the volume of Bitcoin futures fell by approximately 20% compared to May, totaling $1.55 trillion. This figure is significantly below the monthly average volume of $1.93 trillion in the first five months of 2025.
Comparison with Previous Years
Similar trends were observed in the past. In June 2024, the futures volume dropped by 15.7%, while the average volume remained low throughout the summer, although it partially recovered in July. The average volume during the June-September 2024 period was $1.53 trillion, which was 10% below the $1.71 trillion average in the first five months of the year.
Data Analysis and Forecasts
In 2023, a similar decline occurred when the average Bitcoin futures volume in the first half of the year was $1.03 trillion, dropping to $717 billion in July, marking a 30% decrease. The decline continued in the following months, with a 2.4% decrease in August and a 21.5% decrease in September. Data from June 2025 suggests that the trend of volume decline during the summer months may repeat, but definitive judgments will be based on trading volumes in the coming months.
The decline in Bitcoin futures volume in June 2025 may indicate a continuation of the usual summer recession in crypto markets. Further observations are needed to understand the impact of this season on overall market dynamics.
