1. What Is Trading Volume
Trading volume is the total value (or quantity) of an asset traded over a period — a primary measure of market activity and liquidity.
2. How It Works
Volume aggregates executed trades across venues (CEX order books, DEX pools). It's reported per pair, token, or market and used to gauge interest, liquidity, and momentum. High volume usually means deep liquidity and reliable price discovery; low volume means slippage and manipulation risk. "Wash trading" (fake volume) inflates reported numbers.
3. Why It Matters
Volume is a key due-diligence metric — it signals token viability, exchange health, and market sentiment. Listing requirements, index inclusion, and market-maker incentives all track volume. Distinguishing real from wash volume is an important analytical skill.
4. Key Facts
- Volume ≠ liquidity, but they correlate
- DEX volume is fully on-chain and auditable
- Wash trading inflates some CEX volume figures
