Spot Trading Volume

Definition

Spot trading volume represents the total value or quantity of a cryptocurrency bought and sold for immediate delivery on spot markets over a specific period. This metric reflects the actual exchange of assets between buyers and sellers at current market prices, without leverage or future obligations. High spot trading volume indicates strong market interest and liquidity, making it easier for participants to execute large orders without significant price impact. It is a key indicator of market activity and health, distinguishing genuine market interest from derivative-driven speculation.
