Weekly derivatives summary analysis

Here’s a quick preview of the main events that have occurred on the cryptocurrency derivatives market.

First off, the crypto derivatives aggregated volume has finally increased, following the sharp drop recorded last week. As such, the total volume for derivatives is estimated at $14.12B.

Here’s a brief look at trading volumes by derivatives category:

  • The options trading volume has increased from $96.21M to $212.54M;
