An OVERWHELMING fraction of volume is change.
Not just that, but a lot of the volume is the same change being transferred between addresses repeatedly and counted multiple times. If we look at  the address you linked to with 40,000 BTC, whoever owns that account is sending out small and varying amounts of BTC to a whole bunch of different addresses, and every time they do that it adds another 40,000 BTC to the day's volume.
