CryptoQuant data shows that transfer volume, denominated in BTC, is down 35% over the last 24 hours. At the same time, the total number of transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain has dropped by 17% during this same time period, and the number of active addresses has fallen by 10%.
For the month of March, bitcoin trading volume has come in at an average of around $25 billion, according to data from CoinGecko, versus around $36 billion for the month of February.
