FFAJ Reports Fall in Binary Options Volumes as Market Loses Sheen
- With Bitcoin trading volumes at all time highs, Japanese traders seem to have a clear choice.
The Financial Futures Association of Japan (FFAJ) has released its monthly retail over-the-counter (OTC) volumes report for the month of July 2017, and as expected, trading volumes showed a slight decline as compared to the month of June 2017.
Trading volume dropped by 6.87 per cent from $346 million (38.1 billion yen) in June to $322 million (35.5 billion yen) in July. This is understandable as it is a holiday period in Japan, and with traders travelling or just enjoying their holidays, volumes are predictably lower.
But what should concern the FFAJ is the fact that the volumes dropped by 20.2% from $404 million (44.5 billion yen) to $322 million (35.5 billion yen) as compared to the same month last year. This has been a general trend in 2017 where the binary options market has been losing a bit of its sheen and other instruments like Cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrencies By using cryptography, virtual currencies, known as cryptocurrencies, are nearly counterfeit-proof digital currencies that are built on blockchain technology.

When compared to same month last year, the number of total accounts increased 6.5% from 348,508 accounts in July 2016 to 372,820 accounts in July 2017.
Again, the FFAJ would be concerned about the decreasing number of active accounts YoY which decreased from 11,873 accounts in July 2016 to 10,524 accounts in July 2017.
