The report highlighted large decreases in overall spot trading volumes for exchanges CryptoCompare believes posts accurate figures. Binance reported $75.7 billion, down 33.1% and Huobi Global posted volumes of $41.7 billion, a 31.4% decline. Coinbase fell 17.5% to $11.3 billion, Kraken fell by 13% down to $6.5 billion, and Liquid fell by 4.3% to $6.1 billion.
