Bitcoin futures trading volume on Binance widened to a record 7.82 times spot volume, Cointelegraph reported. This week, Binance’s daily bitcoin futures volume was tallied at $57.82 billion versus $6.08 billion in spot volume. CryptoQuant said bitcoin trading is tilting further toward derivatives, as futures volume grows faster than spot around $64,000. It linked the trend to leverage, risk management and short-term strategies amid weaker investment demand.

XRP is increasingly moving off major cryptocurrency exchanges, with wallet-based net inflow-outflow indicators in negative territory at Coinbase, Binance and Crypto.com, The Crypto Basic reported. A negative reading means more wallets are withdrawing than depositing, suggesting a shift toward longer-term holding. CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha said Coinbase’s seven-day net figure hit -10,900. Price action remains muted, with realised volatility on Binance falling to about 0.34 and XRP near $1.07.
