📉 The largest assets in #crypto are seeing historically low levels of weekly trading volume. #Altcoin volume, in particular, has really dried up.

What else is known? Analysts have pointed out that a significant decrease in bitcoin trading volume is observed against the background of the growth of its rate, which began in March, then for a few days the asset rose in price from $19 700 to $28 800.
Earlier, Santiment noted the decline in the number of BTC and ETH on centralized exchanges (CEXs). On May 20, only 5,7% of the BTC issuance was listed on the platforms, a low of December 2017. Ethereum’s performance dropped to 10,1%, the lowest since the project launched in 2015. According to analysts, this may indicate the imminent start of a new bull cycle.
Earlier in May, analysts at The Block recorded a drop in the number of active addresses on the Bitcoin network to its lowest level since July 2021.
As of May 23, 10:45 UTC, bitcoin is trading at $27 302 on Binance, having added 1,76% in 24 hours. The cost of Ethereum is $1855 (+2,07%).
