BitWise Report: 95% of Bitcoin’s Trading Volume Is Fake
BitWise Asset Management issued a report to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission last month stating that 95 percent of Bitcoin’s daily trading volume displayed on CMC is false. The asset management firm argued that the trading volumes recorded by unregulated exchanges on CMC are either incorrect or non-economic in nature.
According to the firm, the daily Bitcoin trading volume is roughly $273 million, not the $6 billion displayed on CoinMarketCap. BitWise said the real Bitcoin trading volume is lesser, more orderly, and more regulated than the towering figure recorded on CMC.
With the recent surge in Bitcoin price, the daily trading volume recorded on CMC has increased over the past three weeks and currently stands at around $11 billion. Despite the report by BitWise, CMC remains the most popular cryptocurrency information platform.
