  4. Recently, South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, has witnessed unusual surges in the trading volume of several altcoins. These sudden and significant changes have caught the attention of Upbit users.

    Significant Trading Volume Changes for Altcoins

    Several altcoins, including Solar (SXP), Jupiter (JUP), Beam (BEAM), Loom Network (LOOM), and Mina (MINA coin), have recently shown unusual trading volume spikes on Upbit. These substantial changes, especially when compared to the 50-period moving averages, have intrigued Upbit users.

    SXP and Other Altcoins See Unprecedented Volume Spikes

    One of the most striking increases was seen in Solar (SXP), where Upbit experienced a 150.84% surge in hourly trading volume. The average volume of $40,000 skyrocketed to $101,000 within an hour. On Binance, however, the volume decreased by 19.55%, dropping from $99,000 to $80,000, highlighting differing dynamics between exchanges. Speculative buying in the South Korean market may explain the sudden interest in Solar, while global investors may not be reacting in the same way.

    Another altcoin that experienced a significant surge was Jupiter (JUP), where the trading volume on Upbit rose by an astonishing 242.62%, from an average of $47,000 to $162,000. Binance also saw an increase, but it was more moderate, at just 5.76%, with the volume increasing from $403,000 to $426,000.

    MINA and LOOM Stand Out

    Loom Network (LOOM) experienced a major jump in volume on Upbit, with its hourly trading volume increasing by 322.13%, climbing from $1 million to $4 million. Binance showed an uptick as well, though less pronounced, with a 30.31% increase, as the volume rose from $674,000 to $878,000.

    Finally, Mina (MINA coin) also saw an unusual spike in trading volume on Upbit, where its hourly volume grew by 157.37%, rising from $66,000 to $170,000. Interestingly, Binance displayed an inverse trend, with MINA’s trading volume dropping by 53.75%, from $187,000 to $86,000.

    These significant fluctuations, particularly between different exchanges, highlight the divergent trading patterns in the cryptocurrency market. Experts suggest these surges could be driven by speculative buying in South Korea, different market conditions, or evolving investment strategies.
