The crypto exchange trading volume has grown massively from 2017 to 2025, reaching nearly $80 trillion. This means more people and institutions are actively trading crypto than ever before.
One key takeaway is that futures trading now makes up most of the volume. Traders are using leverage more often, which increases both profit potential and risk.
After a slowdown during the 2022–2023 bear market, trading activity picked up strongly again in 2024–2025. This rebound shows renewed confidence and stronger market participation.
Higher volume usually means:
-Easier buying and selling
-Stronger market trends
But it also brings:
-Bigger price swings
-Higher liquidation risk
