Keep in mind that 99% of that volume is fake (as a rule of thumb).
About what thumb rule you are talking about ? 99% ? Are you sure ? Do you know one thing fake volumes are not just new due to crypto markets. Forex and stock markets are generating fake volume for hundreds of years still their are continuing to be existing. I mean fake volume is a old practice to lure investors. Unlike you mentioned it cannot be 99% as crypto markets are now more than 10 years old and there are enough number of traders to generate decent trading volumes.
No, he is not, that's why he said 99 and not 99.9%.
So, Forex and stocks are faking volume, well, then crypto can also do this, right, because it's the norm!
But forex and stocks are bad cause they are manipulated, cryptos are also manipulated but it's not bad because...
I love the logic of crypto zealots, sometimes reminds of whataboutism, the level of fanaticism is almost the same.
Another interesting part is the age, so you need a certain amount of years before you fake stuff.
Only when you are on global levels, you start to fake volume to attract investors, not when you're new in business.
Oh, yeah, fuck logic.
Speaking of fake volume, let's look at the leading exchange:
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bitmax/9,4 billions, out of which 9,2 billion are out of stable coins
Paxos Standard Token Paxos Standard Token PAX/USDT $7,143,917,013 $1.00 75.54%
USD Coin USD Coin USDC/USDT $2,171,084,456 $1.00 22.96%
Of course....nothing fishy..
I mean, it's normal for people to transact 9 billion in stable coins at the fixed price of 1$ not a million of a cents above or below....
Let's see if there is somebody that believes this is real, raise your hand!!!!
