Overview

---

• Total trading volume at $376.1 million, which is over 3 times higher than the average Saturday volume (avg. taken over last four months).
• Trading volume surged as Bitcoin flirted with $12,000. These levels were briefly touched in early August of 2019, but have otherwise not been seen since early 2018. Ethereum (+12% over USD) also reached levels untouched since July of 2018.
• KAVA was down 0.4%, DAI down 0.2%, but all other cryptos posted great returns over USD; including, Zcaash (+20%), Dogecoin (+15%), Dash (+13%), and Ripple (+12%). Ripple trading volume beat out Tether, Link, and Cardano to return to the the third most traded crypto (a spot it held for for several months during early 2020).

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%.
