This has largely been painted as a conspiracy theory, but a top analyst recently threw his weight behind the sentiment. He said that futures are &#8220;slowing this vision&#8221; of Bitcoin passing $1 trillion down. On-Chain Analyst: Futures Market Depresses Bitcoin In an extensive thread published May 8th, Willy Woo, a prominent on-chain analyst and Bitcoin investor, noted that the ongoing halving will change one core thing: exchanges will be the biggest net sellers of coins. To fund their operations, exchanges need to sell coins, which they obtain by taking trading fees from investors. Woo is arguing that after the halving, it will be the exchanges that are selling Bitcoin. Futures exchanges, especially, he explained. The analyst specifically drew attention to BitMEX, which has become so integral to crypto that it transacted $16 billion worth of volume in a single day. Yes, $16 billion.

Considering that futures are now dominating the market, Woo concluded by explaining that futures trading is slowing down the vision of Bitcoin exceeding $1 trillion, then $10 trillion in the future. If we think Bitcoin needs &quot;number go up&quot; to exceed $1T and then $10T market cap to make a dent in the world (I&#39;m one of those) then futures trading slows this vision down. Slows number go up, increases volatility. &mdash; Willy Woo (@woonomic) May 9, 2020 It&#8217;s a Spot Driven Rally Woo&#8217;s assertion is one that was corroborated by a report from the San Francisco Federal Reserve, yet times are changing. According to market data shared by traders, the ongoing move, the one that brought Bitcoin from the $6,000s to $10,000 today, was driven by the spot market.

Incredible. pic.twitter.com\/fpYMxz9nhS &mdash; MS\ud83d\udcc8 (@singhsoro) April 30, 2020 This has been corroborated by the fact that BitMEX&#8217;s funding rate, a sign of the directionality of leverage traders, has been effectively at 0% (and even negative) for the past few weeks.
