Recently, there has been an interesting phenomenon. According to CoinGecko data, a leading exchange's spot trading volume reached 9.2 billion USD in the past 24 hours, surpassing the 8 billion USD of a well-known trading platform during the same period.
It looks impressive, right? But if you take a closer look at the data, you'll find that this growth is mainly driven by the NIGHT/USDT trading pair—over 80% of the total volume comes from this one cryptocurrency.
Looking at the entire network, NIGHT's total trading volume in the past 24 hours has exceeded 8 billion USD, which is actually quite considerable. However, the flow of this trading volume is very concentrated—over 90%, or about 7.5 billion USD, is concentrated on the same platform for trading.
From this perspective, the popularity of spot trading is mainly driven by the short-term heat of a specific cryptocurrency, and the ranking fluctuations of different exchanges appear particularly intense under this single-coin frenzy.
