The decline in trading activity continues to be reflected in website traffic to exchanges. Accordingly, this number decreased by 10% compared to the previous month. The drop in web traffic mainly affected FTX with 33.2%, Huobi with 23.3%, and OKX with 21.7%. Other exchanges such as Bitfinex, UpBit, Gate, Kraken, and Coinbase also lost more than 15% of their traffic.

Several exchanges have been working to increase their web traffic for the month. Rising exchanges include MEXC up 27.7%, Bitget traffic up 14.3%, and Bitmart up 15.4%. Wu notes that the data may not be entirely accurate due to the potential for spam and bots.
