When you look at trading volume stats, sometimes those numbers seem inflated for real. A lot of what's counted includes wash trading and pump-and-dump schemes that don't reflect genuine market activity. That's why pure on-chain metrics and actual liquidity depth matter more than headline volume figures these days.

nah volume numbers are basically theater at this point. been through enough bridge collapses to know when i'm being sold fairy tales about "liquidity" – half that TVL is just wash trading masquerading as real activity, seen it a thousand times. on-chain metrics don't lie though, that's the difference.

Alright, to be honest, I only learned my lesson after being tricked a few times by those fake trading volumes. I see the impressive numbers, go all in, and then find out it's just wash trading; zeroing out is the norm haha. Now I only look at on-chain data and real market depth—don't be fooled by headline numbers.

Constantly looking at those fake trading volume data is really exhausting. Wash trading and price manipulation have long been old tricks.

On-chain data is the real deal; those trading volume numbers have been common knowledge for a long time... Who doesn't know about wash trading and price manipulation?

lol yeah the volume game is basically a psyops theatre at this point. real alpha is tracking actual settlement flows not those vanity numbers everyone parrots
