[Analyst: Altcoin CEX Trading Volume Drops Significantly, Investor Interest Continues to Decline] Odaily Planet Daily News – Cryptoquant analyst Darkfost wrote that altcoin trading volumes on Binance and other major exchanges have dropped significantly, reflecting a noticeable decline in investor interest. Despite the prolonged bear market, altcoins continue to lag significantly behind Bitcoin. Currently, Binance's altcoin trading volume is approximately $7.7 billion, while the combined trading volume of other major exchanges is around $18.8 billion—far below the active trading period from October 2025 to February, when Binance's trading volume ranged between $40–50 billion and other exchanges saw volumes of approximately $63–91 billion. Relatively speaking, Binance now accounts for about 40% of total altcoin trading volume, meaning nearly one out of every two dollars traded in altcoins is conducted through this platform. Past trading volume peaks typically occurred during localized market highs, often associated with FOMO (fear of missing out) phenomena, serving as liquidity windows for investors to cash out. Darkfost pointed out that despite unfavorable market conditions, such data remains noteworthy. Historical experience suggests that the most attractive investment opportunities often arise during periods of low market interest, when the majority of investors are on the sidelines.
