What Is Trading Volume?

Trading volume is the total value of all trades—buying and selling—for a coin over 24 hours. It’s a snapshot of market activity: high volume shows strong interest, while low volume suggests quieter trading.

When Is Trading Volume 'Low'?

We label volume as "low" when a coin’s trades drop below $500,000 in a day. This points to limited demand and liquidity, which can make buying or selling trickier. Prices may swing more, adding risk for investors.

How It Affects Rankings

Low-volume coins get a lower ranking than high-volume ones. Less trading activity means they’re tougher to trade, so we rank them lower to highlight more actively traded coins.

Why It Matters to You

High-volume coins tend to offer smoother trades and steady prices. Low-volume ones? Higher risk, but maybe untapped potential. Our rankings guide you to reliable picks.
