Topic: Fake volume in exchanges - page 3. (Read 1117 times)
I have experienced such thing online before now. If its true, it means that such exchanges that are caught doing this should be scrutinized so as not to deceive investors.
in my opinion there is no fake volume in the exchange, trading activities are always active every day. volatility and crypto graphs always record its development.
but, if that is true, then it is market manipulation. do positive action and go away from such exchange.

Fraud is now everywhere in the crypto world You don't have to be surprised if you see something like this, and I don't think there is much we can do about this exchange because nothing is regulated. However, you can still try well to find out exchanges such as Binance, the majority of people have done transactions there and they have no accusation to contribute their volume.
this incident took place about 5 months ago. No need to worry about it. New ICO always try to exaggerate their original volume to attract new customers. Market cap is about to stable right now.
It's obscure do they attract new customers or current lose their trust. I'm not
worrying, fake businesses, messing with numbers are not new in economy.
I believe exchanges that falsifying their volumes will lose customers. New customers will choose exchanges in which they can trust.
It's not good for business to do anything fake. Good voice travels fast, bad even
faster, it's impossible to hide everything, bad things come to light eventually.
I believe we will see similar incidents in the future, when you choose exchange
think twice and look what others have to say about them.

Why they need to manipulate the volumes? This is really disturbing thing. Lots of scams out there and often newbies fall into their traps.
Sometimes these things are created by the bots. Anyway these things creates negativity in the crypto world. I think that these things should be monitored.
Found an interesting article in which one guy did some datamining on some popular exchanges and their volumes:

Apparently a few of these giants are falsifying their volumes. Maybe because a higher market cap would make people think it's a more trustworthy exchange? I don't know if it's really worth going through all of that effort.
Would this have a major effect on the prices? I know we used to see huge differences in prices in the past, but now you won't see much more than a few percent here and there between exchanges.

This is not surprising - these exchanges are totally unregulated and a perfect playground for scammers and cheaters. There have been warnings for more than a year that manipulation which is illegal in normal investment markets is rampantly out of control in the crypto markets.
I think this is a very bad practice. It can easily manipulate beginners so i think this thing should be stopped. Otherwise it will create more problem in the market.
I think all exchanges have automatic trading system. It creates an unrealistic look. You see the volume of transactions is large but not real. These are just virtual indicators to fool
Hitbtc volumes are obviously fake and it doesn’t need any complicated statistical analysis. Pick any random usdt market in a small volume token and it volume is huge compared to other exchanges.
Well, falsification of trading volume in crypto currency exchange site is not something new because it have been happening a longtime and even coin market capital was once also accused of increasement of coins information which I also confirmed it. However, I believe evey thing is already sort out now and this is the reason why the cryptocurrency capital is down to $252B 
A lot of exchanges are guilty of this falsehood. Sadly, some reputable exchanges are also not exonerated. Wash trading should be discouraged, it is deceptive
Yes, I agree with you on that the volume information on exchanges is something to tackle because its decisiveness is bad to the community in general and may even play a role in the market price of some coins.
Well this is unevitable at the moment... Until we got any "authority" that will approve every single transaction in every market, we have to trust on Exchange's volumes.
But I agree with you, there are a lot of platforms that are making huge fake volumes and this is really disturbing.

While market don't have enough regulation, exchanges can manipulate with volume. Everybody wants to make money, so do companies and exchange platforms.

What's the source of your assertion? Let's not just conclude because we have some issues or reservations abut a particular exchange. BTW, The OP made a good point. This act is a very dangerous one as those giants could easily rip many people off their money in the event that they decide to close down. Yes there are regulators like the SEC but they usually find their way around them.

We are talking fake here, then this article have two intention as well its either to tell the truth or to confused us by spreading fake assumptions... Everyone should do their background check if they want the real thing.

This is incredible it shows the lengths that exchanges will go to in order to attract new clients and investors. IT doesn't make sense to do this it will get discovered at some point. Standards need to be in place for exchanges and soon they will have reporting requirements in order to maintain their integrity.
"I used a zero fee exchange before and they usually have a higher
withdrawal limit. It can also be an interesting way to get more users and
more trades happening. If I look at somewhere like bitstamp which has a
fee and the ones that don't it is clear to see why volume increases
Thank you for sharing.
