Bithumb and Bitfinex each handled about $1.5 billion in trades while
Chinese bitcoin exchange OKCoin accounted for $750 million. Altogether,
at least seven exchanges, including GDAX, Bittrex, Poloniex, and Huobi
surpassed the $500 million mark (Volume had tapered off a bit by the
time of writing, so it is possible Kraken and Coinone crossed $500
million earlier in the day).
Friday’s trading volume surge was caused by market volatility
stemming from China’s crackdown on bitcoin exchanges. Yesterday, the
markets crashed following reports that a bitcoin exchange ban was
“certain” and BTCC’s subsequent announcement that it would shut down all
trading services at the end of September. The markets continued to
plunge Friday morning as Huobi and OKCoin were rumored to be meeting
with regulators and two smaller exchanges–Yunbi and ViaBTC–also
announced September closures.
However, later in the day OKCoin and Huobi issued concurrent
statements that suggested they might continue providing
cryptocurrency-to-cryptocurrency trading services. Both exchanges
announced that they would close CNY trading pairs on October 31,
but–unlike BTCC, Yunbi, and ViaBTC–they did not announce the suspension
of “all trading.” Moreover, they indicated that they “expect to continue
to provide Chinese users with [compliant] digital asset services.”
These announcements led to an immediate rally, and trading volume
soared to a record level as the markets climbed back to $120 billion
after dipping below $100 billion earlier in the day.
