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 (March 15 2021)



Figure 2: Mid-size trading assets: (measured in USD) (March 15 2021)



Figure 3: Smallest trading assets: (measured in USD) (March 15 2021)

#####################. 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.
