Low volatility and leverage in the options and futures markets suggest recent price increases are being driven by demand in the spot market

Luke Nolan, a research associate at crypto asset management firm CoinShares, said the current rise in Bitcoin prices appears to be more spot-driven, as the market is “healthier” and leverage is lower than on Tuesday.
