Binance Futures has hit a record trading volumes of 16K BTC in an hour. Notably, Binance Futures is just in its infant stage, and Binance AG twitted the record volume which happens to be the 4th highest in the crypto futures industry.

We’ve reported that Binance’s Bitcoin Futures platform is observed to have made incredible gains within the first few days of its launching. In fact, the platform has outperformed the Binance.com spot market in terms of BTC trading volume within the last 24 hours. The 24-hour trading volume of Binance’s futures markets was seen to have crossed 30,500 BTC. Denominated in USDT, the equivalent of this would come to over $250 MM. Further, the figures were also said to have exceeded those of Binance spot trading which recorded a relatively lower 24-hour trading volume of 219,868,241 million denominated in USDT.
