According to Wu’s data, derivatives trading on major crypto exchanges rose 22.3% month-on-month while overall traffic to their websites saw a 21% month-on-month increase.

“For derivative trading volume in December, there was a 22.3% month-on-month increase among major exchanges. The top three in percentage change were Crypto.com at 46%, Bitget at 42%, and Binance at 26%. The bottom three were Mexc at -13%, Huobi at -5%, and Kucoin at 14%.

Regarding website traffic for major exchanges in December, there was a 21% month-on-month increase. The top three in percentage change were Mexc at 45%, Bybit at 38%, and Gate at 34%. The bottom three were Huobi at -80%, BitMart at -17%, and Bitget at 8%.”

In December, market intelligence platform Glassnode suggested that an increase in flows into crypto exchanges meant that institutional investors were readying themselves for the potential approval of a spot market Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund.

At the time, an analysis by the firm found that the 30-day simple moving average (SMA) of Bitcoin flows in and out of exchanges grew 220% from the start of the year, shooting up to $3 billion from $930 million.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is slated to approve or reject spot market BTC ETFs sometime today.
