Yet the total daily transaction output volume in BTC (minus changebacks) is still ~120 kBTC/day, less than it was in mid-March, late May, and two weeks ago:

And, since the price has been falling, the total volume in USD (minus changebacks) has been stagnating near 50 M$/day since late March, after falling from 80+ M$/day in January

By the way, those charts do not seem to have been maintained in a long time, and no one is monitoring their "contact us" thread.  I wonder how they identify the "popular addresses".  The growth in the chart posted by @touhonoob could be due to that list becoming outdated, so that new "popular addresses" are increasingly being included in the plot.
