Spot Market Growth: Analysis and Dynamics
According to experts from CryptoQuant, the total Bitcoin trading volume on centralized exchanges (CEX) in October exceeded $300 billion, indicating heightened trader activity. A significant portion of this volume came from Binance – $174 billion. This result is the second largest in 2025, surpassed only by one month.
Analysts emphasize that the resurgence of interest in spot trading is a positive sign for the market. Following a sharp price drop on the night of October 11, many traders shifted away from leveraged trading in favor of direct Bitcoin purchases, leading to an increase in organic demand for the cryptocurrency among both retail and institutional investors.
“A market driven more by spot trading rather than derivatives is generally healthier, more stable, as it is less vulnerable to extreme volatility driven by excessive open interest expansion”.
Organic Demand and Market Stability
Experts note that the structural shift towards spot trading makes the market less sensitive to artificial fluctuations, which often arise from futures speculation. This trend also indicates a steady increase in demand for Bitcoin without additional influence from derivative financial instruments.
Furthermore, CryptoQuant analysts highlighted that over $6.5 billion in stablecoins were deposited on exchanges throughout October, further supporting the trend of increased activity in the cryptocurrency market.
