Bitcoin spot trading volume saw a sharp decrease from a peak of $44 billion on February 3 to just $10 billion by the end of Q1, signaling a decline in interest or confidence among traders.
Despite the decline, Binance emerged as the dominant platform for traders, with a nearly 50% share of total market trading volume and significant growth in market dominance.
Binance experienced an increase in bitcoin inflows, growing its bitcoin reserve by over 22,000 BTC, implying increased trust and active movement of funds to the platform.
The general slowdown in the crypto market is attributed to market uncertainty, price corrections, and a cycle of lower trading volumes and declining prices.
