“Liquid has consistently maintained the top spot in terms of trade count over the last three months for its BTC-JPY market,” stated the latest CryptoCompare research. Among the top fiat-to-crypto exchanges, Liquid had the largest average daily trade count with 575k trades combined with a low average trade size of 0.038 BTC. Binance, which is another major fiat-to-crypto platform, registered the second-highest trade with more than 260,000 trades executed per day.

However, in terms of trade size, Liquid has consistently registered the lowest in July, August, and September. Other exchanges like itBit, Gemini and Coinone traded a significantly lower number of trades per day with 1.68k, 5.2k, and 13.9k, respectively. This was, however, combined with higher trade sizes 0.4, 0.27, 0.12 BTC, respectively.
