BlockBeats News, March 21st, Cryptoquant analyst Darkfost wrote that the trading volume of the crypto market altcoins continues to decline, indicating a significant weakening of investor interest. Against the backdrop of a bear market and geopolitical uncertainties, altcoins have been consistently underperforming Bitcoin, with risk appetite significantly shrinking.
Currently, Binance’s altcoin daily trading volume is around $7.7 billion, while other major exchanges total about $18.8 billion, much lower than the peak in October 2025 and February (Binance peaked at $40 billion to $50 billion, while other platforms reached $63 billion to $91 billion). Currently, Binance holds about a 40% market share.
The analysis points out that historically, trading volume peaks often correspond to market cyclical tops and the release of FOMO sentiment, while the current low-volume trading environment also implies that potential opportunities usually arise when market attention is at its lowest.
