Kraken Daily Market Report for October 20 2020

Overview

  • Total spot trading volume at $244.7 million, fueled by Bitcoin trading (57% of the crypto volume).
  • Total futures notional at $150.0 million, where the December 25 total notionals beat out the October 30th total notional.
  • Bitcoin touched the $12,000 level, then continued to rise sharply. Most of these gains, however, happened right after the day close and will be seen on tomorrow’s report. Bitcoin flirted with levels not reached since 2018.
  • Besides Bitcoin, most coins were negative, including -14% returns for Curve Dao.

#####################. Trading Volume by Asset. ##########################################

Trading Volume by Asset

The figures below break down the trading volume of the largest, mid-size, and smallest assets. Cryptos are in purple, fiats are in blue. For each asset, the chart contains the daily trading volume in USD, and the percentage of the total trading volume. The percentages for fiats and cryptos are treated separately, so that they both add up to 100%.

Figure 1: Largest trading assets: trading volume (measured in USD) and its percentage of the total trading volume (October 20 2020)



Figure 2: Mid-size trading assets: (measured in USD) (October 20 2020)



Figure 3: Smallest trading assets: (measured in USD) (October 20 2020)



#####################. Spread %. ##########################################

Spread %

Spread percentage is the width of the bid/ask spread divided by the bid/ask midpoint. The values are generated by taking the median spread percentage over each minute, then the average of the medians over the day.
