Total Bitcoin Futures Volume Dropped Nearly 20 Percent in June Compared to the Previous Month! What Does It Mean?

The seasonal effects of the summer months have begun to show themselves in cryptocurrency markets. In June, total Bitcoin futures volume fell by about 20% compared to the previous month, to $1.55 trillion. This figure was well below the monthly average volume of $1.93 trillion in the first five months of 2025.

Bitcoin Futures Volume Drops 20% in June: Signal of Summer Recession in Crypto Markets

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

While the monthly average was $1.53 trillion during the June-September 2024 period, this figure remained 10% below the $1.71 trillion average in the first five months of the year.

This seasonal downtrend was also seen in 2023. Bitcoin futures volume, which averaged $1.03 trillion per month in the first half of 2023, fell to $717 billion in July 2023, falling by about 30% on a monthly basis.

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

Data for June 2025 indicates that the trend of volume decline in the summer months may be repeated this year.

Analysts say that although it is too early to make a definitive judgment, this development strengthens the possibility of a summer recession in crypto markets. Trading volumes in the coming months will clarify the impact of this season on the market.
