Binance’s futures trading volume hit a staggering $2.55 trillion in July 2025, marking its highest monthly figure in seven months and the largest since January 2025. This significant increase reflects a resurgence in trading activity following sharp price swings in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which encouraged traders to re-engage in the market [1]. The surge in volume is particularly notable as Binance maintained a dominant position in the market, accounting for over half of the total futures trading volume across major exchanges during the same period. OKX and Bybit followed with $1.09 trillion and $929 billion, respectively [2].
The rise in futures trading activity on Binance is attributed to a combination of heightened market volatility and increased user participation. On-chain data suggests that rapid price movements prompted more frequent trading, especially in leveraged positions [3]. Additionally, Binance’s extensive selection of tradable assets and high liquidity likely played a role in drawing more users to the platform. The platform’s continued dominance underscores its leading role in the crypto derivatives market [4].
However, the surge in volume did not translate into a strong performance for Bitcoin. Despite the increased trading activity, Bitcoin faced weak liquidity and declining ETF demand. According to CryptoQuant, a key liquidity metric showed a drop in mid-July, with the available supply of Bitcoin on exchanges shrinking to just over three months of sellable assets by month-end. This reduction in liquidity did not support a price increase, as buying interest failed to stabilize the market [5].
Furthermore, ETF inflows and outflows for Bitcoin were highly unstable, with sharp spikes followed by sharp declines, indicating a lack of consistent institutional support. Smart accumulation, typically seen as a sign of strong long-term buying pressure, was also absent. Wallets that usually engage in gradual and small-scale purchases were not contributing to price stability, leaving the market vulnerable to sell orders [6].
Amid this uncertainty, Capital B made a significant move by acquiring 62 BTC for approximately €6.2 million through its Luxembourg-based subsidiary. This purchase increased its total Bitcoin holdings to 2,075 BTC, with the asset valued at around €189.1 million based on current prices. The firm has adopted a strategy of regular, incremental Bitcoin purchases rather than large, one-time acquisitions, and plans to continue this approach. Capital B also reported a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 1,446.3% and a gain of 578.5 BTC, indicating a strong conviction in the asset despite market volatility [7].
The recent developments on Binance and the broader market highlight a complex picture for Bitcoin. While high futures trading volumes signal strong speculative interest, they do not necessarily reflect strong fundamental demand. Market participants are closely watching whether this renewed activity will translate into sustained bullish momentum or simply serve as a precursor to further volatility. The implications for Bitcoin depend on how institutional and retail investors respond to the current environment, and whether smart accumulation and ETF flows stabilize in the near term [8].
