The CVD compares the buying and selling volume while simultaneously identifying an asset’s micro and macro price action chart. The cryptocurrency market data provider also noted that the CVD was positive on exchanges including Binance and Coinbase.
The report noted:
“The initial court ruling sparked a wave of buying, which we can see when we look at the cumulative volume delta (CVD) on major pairs, which turned positive, with Binance showing +$50 million on its BTC-USDT pair . The increase on Coinbase was more gradual, reaching a peak of +$35 million about 12 hours after the ruling.”
But when the SEC made it decision publicThe BTC/USDT and BTC/TUSD pairs on Binance fell to -$100 million. The same thing happened on the Coinbase exchange as well.

“In a sign of how subdued trading volume has been in recent months, the Grayscale ruling was barely able to boost BTC volumes. August 29 stood at just 504 days out of 973 (since the start of 2021) in terms of BTC volume.”
Silence in the market
In terms of activity in the derivatives market, Kaiko noted that Open Interest fell between August 29 and August 31. Open Interest is the value of the futures contracts that are open at the end of a trading day.
When the Open Interest increases, it means that the liquidity in the contract increases. But if it decreases, it implies the conclusion of many contracts in the market. Therefore, the decline indicates that liquidity has diminished and that there was no strength behind BTC’s trajectory.
