Talking to Coindesk, the portfolio manager of Altana digital currency fund, Alistair Milne, pointed that "...only a small percentage of exchange volume will be due to genuine bitcoin use or adoption".

The main engine of increasing the trading volumes is the fact far more and more stock exchanges start to offer the leveraged trading option, which, consequently leads to increasing rate volatility.
