How many trades are actually processed per month, day, second on crypto exchanges? The answer is anybody’s guess, because no matter how many times CoinMarketCap, or other aggregate platforms, adjusts its figures, we’re always left with serious doubts.

Information Not As Readily Available As Expected

The team at Shrimpy portfolio management set to work finding out the answer to this long-standing question, and has recently published its results in a blog post.

It seems that the information isn’t as easy to come by as one would expect. Apparently, popular crypto exchange, Binance, can process up to 1.4 million trades per second. This is great, but it doesn’t bring us any closer to an answer.

Luckily, Shrimpy has its own API. This can calculate the number of trades actioned on a certain exchange, given the trading pair and start and end time. For example, over the course of October, considering just the BTC/USDT trading pair, there were 13.2 million trades executed on Binance, and almost 77,000 on crypto competitor platform, Bittrex.

So in October, Binance processed almost 172 times as many trades as Bittrex. But what about a total number across all exchanges?

Interesting Crypto Exchange Findings

Collating information across all trading pairs, over a whole year, for 16 of the most popular (and perhaps credible) exchanges, Shrimpy drew some interesting conclusions.

Huobi Global beats Binance to process the most trades per month. 121 million in October over all trading pairs, against Binance’s 92 million. The highest number of trades executed by Binance in a single month was 125 million trades. If it was running at capacity, the entirety of these crypto trades could have been processed in just under a minute and a half. The total number of trades across all sixteen exchanges analysed, was 452 million in the month of October 2019. This being a roughly average month considering the entire year.

So there you have it. Around 450 million trades per month (for the exchanges which were analysed). This equates to around 15 million trades per day, or around 175 trades per second.

Whilst some analysts obsess over daily traded bitcoin volume (and how trustworthy reported figures actually are), the number of daily trades can also be used to give an indication of market health. Perhaps it is a statistic which we will hear more of in future.

To fight the talent shortage, train your current employees

How many people can program a driverless car? How many can program an artificial intelligence? How many can get their head around blockchain (and no, it doesn’t count if you invested €100 in Bitcoin)? And yet, how many times have you read about driverless cars being on the cusp of adoption, or traditional currencies being on the verge of becoming obsolete? The truth is, the pool of individuals who actually know how to build these technologies is very small.

Bitcoin Green (BITG) – The Green Protocol And The Changing Face Of Cryptocurrency

Whilst Bitcoin aims to be the future for currency, many forget that actually, Bitcoin is a huge threat to the environment and the planet it wishes to support. What’s the point in creating a currency for the future, if there’s no future for the planet in the first place? That’s what Bitcoin Green wants to change, via The Green Protocol, a stunning new concept that uses a super efficient proof-of-stake consensus, designed to repair Bitcoin’s environmentally devastating attitude.

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.

On Radical Markets

Recently I had the fortune to have received an advance copy of Eric Posner and Glen Weyl’s new book, Radical Markets, which could be best described as an interesting new way of looking at the subject that is sometimes called “political economy” - tackling the big questions of how markets and politics and society intersect.
