 <p class="paragraph">Since February 2024, Bitcoin (BTC) has traded in a price range between $60,000 and $72,000, with two deviations. This has carved a mostly neutral momentum for the leading cryptocurrency, now seeing its trading and transaction volume fade away.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Finbold retrieved data from <em>Santiment</em> on June 2 showing both metrics with the BTC price, currently at $68,100. In particular, the seven-day trading volume plummeted below $14 billion to the same level as 2023, when Bitcoin traded below $30,000.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Moreover, the chart evidences a lack of interest in Bitcoin <a rel="dofollow" title="trading" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/trading.html">trading</a> and on-chain <a rel="dofollow" title="transaction" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/transaction.html">transaction</a> <a rel="dofollow" title="volume" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/volume.html">volume</a>s, with the second remarkably low. As observed, the network registered only 722,000 BTC moved in seven days. This contrasts with the 1.79 million BTC in October 2023, with a similar <a rel="dofollow" title="trading" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/trading.html">trading</a> <a rel="dofollow" title="volume" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/volume.html">volume</a> and half the price.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Meanwhile, this year’s approved Bitcoin spot ETFs have made $1.73 billion, according to data retrieved from <em>IntoTheBlock</em> and <em>Yahoo</em>. Overall, these ETFs‘ last seven trading days totaled $12 billion in volume, similar to BTC’s spot volume on crypto exchanges.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">This suggests an increased interest in trading the regulated and custodial exchange-traded funds instead of Bitcoin itself.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">The derivatives volume also highlights the increased interest in purely speculative demand for the leading cryptocurrency. Data from <em>CoinGlass</em> shows a daily volume superior to $34 billion—nearly three times the seven-day volume for spot trading.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, the exchanged <a rel="dofollow" title="volume" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/volume.html">volume</a> of futures contracts and other Bitcoin derivatives financial products has remained stable after peaking in March 2024.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">In conclusion, these indicators suggest a higher market interest in BTC price speculation through Bitcoin ETFs and derivatives. This is opposed to acquiring Bitcoin for self-custody or long-term hold from cryptocurrency exchanges or using the permissionless blockchain for real peer-to-peer transactions.</p>
