【Santiment: Cryptocurrency trading volume decreased by 64% in the past week, especially for speculative altcoins】 According to Golden Finance, cryptocurrency market research firm Santiment posted on platform X, stating that in the last days of 2024, trading volume in the cryptocurrency sector has significantly declined. Overall, compared to the previous week (which included Bitcoin's historical peak), trading volume decreased by 64% in the past week. The decline in trading, especially for speculative altcoins, is not surprising. With the holidays approaching and traders organizing their year-end finances, the last week of December is typically one of the least active periods of the year. In summary, if whales continue to show strong accumulation trends, the lack of retail participation could actually lead to at least one unexpected surge in 2024, while retail investors remain largely unaware.
