What Is Really Behind The Explosion Of Crypto Traffic In October?

The crypto euphoria seizes the markets again as major exchange platforms record a significant increase in their traffic in October 2024, driven by investor optimism and American political prospects.

Spectacular growth driven by industry giants

The month of October marked a decisive turning point for the crypto ecosystem with an 8% increase in cumulative traffic on the 20 main exchange platforms. According to ICO Analytics data, the three behemoths of the sector – Binance, WhiteBit, and Coinbase – attracted 54, 33, and 30 million visitors, respectively.

This exceptional performance occurs in a specific context where Pump Fun doubled its traffic (+100%), closely followed by BullX (+78%) and Uniswap (+42%).

The widespread increase in traffic confirms the phenomenon now known as “Uptober,” a traditionally favorable period for digital assets after the relative summer lull. This trend can largely be attributed to renewed interest from retail investors keen not to miss the next bullish rally.

The crucial impact of the American political context

The American political environment plays a catalytic role in this positive dynamic. The emergence of candidates favorable to cryptos, including Donald Trump, has injected a new breath of optimism into the market.

This renewed confidence materialized spectacularly on November 6, when BlackRock’s Bitcoin IBIT ETF recorded a record transaction volume of $4.1 billion.

Technical indicators further reinforce these encouraging prospects. The increase of $1.1 billion in open interest on Bitcoin futures at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, combined with massive capital flows into stablecoins reaching $9.3 billion, attests to the robustness of the movement. Ethereum is not lagging, crossing the symbolic barrier of $3,000 and attracting significant investments through its ETFs.

The boom in traffic on exchange platforms in October 2024 thus marks a decisive turning point for the crypto industry. This renaissance, supported by both technical and political factors, may well herald a new era of growth for crypto assets.
