The metric is down more than 59% from a high of $80 billion per day during the first half of 2021 to its current volume of $30.7 billion per day. <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2022-04\/e839d35b-e101-4047-9714-1e7c3faeda83.jpg\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Bitcoin futures volume.
