Bitcoin Trading Volume Tops $11 Billion For First Time In Nearly a Year

Daily trading volume for the world’s largest cryptocurrency bitcoin exceeded $11 billion Friday, the most observed in a 24-hour period since April 25 of last year.

At that time, the average price of bitcoin was $8,845, while today the crypto asset is listed for less than half the price, currently trading at $3,951 as per CoinMarketCap. However, the return in volume is potentially a sign investors aren’t losing interest in bitcoin despite the less than favorable market conditions.

Interestingly, the amount of bitcoin trade volume had closely aligned with it’s price trend for years, but upon closer examination, the close connection ended during the latest market rout in November when trade volumes failed to sink along with the quickly depreciating broader cryptocurrency market.

As can be seen below, the divergence between trading volume is evident for not only bitcoin, but other top-ranked cryptocurrencies like the fourth-largest in the world by market cap, litecoin (LTC).

Just before the plunge to $3,000, bitcoin was priced at $6,385 on Nov. 10 when it accumulated $3.70 billion in 24-hour exchange volume, according to data from Coinmarketcap.

Today, however, bitcoin’s price is nearly half of what it was in November, yet its trading volume is just above $11 billion, which is 200 percent more than the trading volume seen on Nov. 10 and a value last commonly observed in April 2018.

Coinmarketcap data further reveals the most exchange volume the world’s largest cryptocurrency ever saw in a single day was $23.84 billion when bitcoin’s price was $17,429.50 on Jan. 05, 2018.

Litecoin Exchange Volume

Litecoin’s exchange volume is following a similar trajectory as bitcoin’s exchange volume.

As can be seen above, exchange volume began to deviate from litecoin’s price trend around November once again, when the cryptocurrency was trading in the $50 dollar range and exchange volume figures spanned from roughly $300 million to just over $600 million, according to data from Coinmetrics.

Litecoin’s is now trading at $58 and its 24-hour exchange volume registers $1.79 billion – again, more than double the values frequently observed before the cryptocurrency plunged below $30 in November.

The slight difference between litecoin and bitcoin’s trading volume and price relationship is that litecoin’s price has increased over 100 percent since its December low along with the rise in exchange volume, while bitcoin has seen a more seldom 20 percent increase from its low.

Blockchain AI Underdog Autonio Yields Over 40X Returns for ICO Investors

As we know, the crypto industry is being increasingly seen as a viable and profitable investment avenue. However, crypto trading, because of its new market, is highly unpredictable and volatile.

Autonio entered the market with an aim to offer every level of investor an opportunity to reap the rewards of crypto trading. Essentially, the platform is a decentralized trading bot, merging blockchain and AI technology. The peer-to-peer network is used to determine any code upgrades, which local clients then implement. This results in a gradual and ongoing improvement of the platform.

Members on the platform can buy or sell their trading strategies, as well as their consultation time. In addition, the platform has built-in and extremely-advanced trading indicators; the full spectrum of them can be found on their website: https://auton.io/

The platform’s medium of exchange is the NIO token, which is ERC20 compliant. NIO’s value increased by over 2,000% in its first week alone, with daily trading volume exceeding $430,000 during a spike between the 8th and the 10th of November, followed by another spike between the 12th and the 16th. At one point, NIO pushed the market cap to over $9 million, and it is now sitting at $3.7 million. NIO currently has a circulating supply of 65,828,135, and a total supply of 220,466,789.

Investors in Autonio’s ICO actually received extra returns: Autonio only raised $54,000—mainly because they did not try to oversell themselves—and all remaining tokens that weren’t burned were equally distributed to investors. In actual fact, they received 24.1646 times more tokens because of this. In addition, most investors also received a 70% discount as they contributed in the first round.

That means although the official ICO price was set at $0.05585 per token, the actual price paid by most investors was $0.0014059. Based on the actual price, Autonio made over 40 times as much on their returns, and if they sold at the peak, they would have made returns of more than 95 times as much.

“I have confidence in my vision and in what I’m trying to build,” said Ali Raheman, the Project Manager of Autonio.

“Because of the experience of my mentors, the feasibility of what we’re building was in constant check, and fortunately for us, the community saw that and wholeheartedly supported us. This is a very humble beginning for a platform that has been made purely for the community, and with the interest of users and investors in mind.”

The owner of NewsBTC, Jonathan Millet, as well as Andrew Wagner, who is the Community Manager for the news portal, are both advisors on the project. They have stated that are proud to work with successful clients who don’t disappoint investors, and that’s exactly what Autonio is.

The platform also has a very active online community on Telegram (t.me/Autonio), thanks in part to the many activities that they’re involved in. This includes airdrops like the one held for MBRS holders, and there will also be one for all ETH holders in the future.

In addition, the platform also holds trading competitions (more on http://nioking.algoshare.net/) in order to which attract high-quality traders. These competitions not only act as a great way for crypto investors to experience the benefits of Autonio, but they also allow the platform’s AI technology to learn from the strategies of the winning competitors. The platform has already had profits ranging from 1,062% to 4,235% APR.

Based on the excellent response to Autonio, it seems as if both their popularity and adoption will continue to grow. By combining the increasingly popular AI industry with the continuously growing blockchain industry, the sky is the limit as to what further advancements can be made, and what more Autonio can offer.
