According to data released today, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju announced that investors trading in the Bitcoin futures market now largely consist of individual investors.
According to data shared by Ju, the average order size for Bitcoin futures was around $6,000 earlier this year, but has now fallen to $2,000.
This situation shows that the influence of professional and institutional investors on the market is decreasing, while the share of small investors in the transaction volume is increasing.
According to experts, this decline in average order size signals a market preference for more cautious, short‑term positions. Furthermore, increased interest from individual investors during periods of high volatility could lead to increased risk in leveraged trades.
CryptoQuant CEO Ju had also emphasized in his statements in recent months that individual investors are playing an increasingly important role in determining market trends.
