CEX Spot Volume Jumps 15.3% to $1.11 Trillion in June, Ending 5-Month Slide

Summary

  • $1.11 trillion in June spot trading marked centralized exchanges’ first monthly volume increase in five months, with activity rebounding 15.3%.
  • $311 billion in RWA perpetual trading set a record alongside that recovery, highlighting strong demand in one of crypto’s fastest-growing derivatives niches.
  • U.S. June CPI and PPI data due this week could test whether the rebound holds, as softer inflation may revive rate-cut hopes while hotter readings could pressure bitcoin below $60,000.
  • Bank earnings from JPMorgan, Citigroup and Wells Fargo, plus renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and Strait of Hormuz risks, add broader macro and oil-driven volatility to crypto markets.
