On June 24, Binance’s Net Taker Volume surged above $100 million for the first time since June 9.
While the bullish spike in Binance Net Taker Volume may indicative of robust buying momentum, such surges are often attributed to aggressive retail buying or the forced unwinding of over-leveraged short positions.
In these instances, the spike does not necessarily signify sustainable demand but rather short-term volatility caused by liquidations or speculative FOMO.
This milestone aligns with total stablecoin net outflows from derivative exchanges surpassing $1.25 billion, representing the largest capital withdrawal from these platforms since mid-May.
