Bitcoin’s Weekend Trading Volume Has Dropped to All-time Lows

• Kaiko reports BTC weekend trading volume has dropped to a 16% all-time low.
• The trading volume drop aligns with the schedule of ETF issuing companies.
• Bitcoin’s volatility drop aligns with the collapse of crypto-friendly banks in 2023.

According to reports from the cryptocurrency research firm Kaiko, the proportion of Bitcoin traded over weekends has declined to an all-time low of 16% this year. Kaiko’s report linked the drop to the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which has skewed investors’ trading behaviors to align with the schedules of the ETF issuing companies, mainly traditional equity exchanges.
