Why can Futures be more active than Spot?
In the November 10 report, SHELL Futures volume was estimated at around $2.8 million, while Spot volume was only around $150,000–$170,000.
This gap indicates that derivatives trading activity was significantly higher in the referenced data snapshot.
Futures allow the use of leverage and the opening of positions in either direction. Therefore, high Futures volume does not mean there is an equivalent amount of actual money buying the token.
