The latest issue of Diar, the digital assets & regulation trade publication finds that Coinbase’ trading volume is on a decline. More than 50% of the trading volume in the cryptocurrency markets is provided by five digital assets: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin. Deep correction strongly affected the exchanges that operate in the US market, but players outside the US only strengthened their positions.

The authors of the report also stressed that the volatility of the rate of the first crypto currency had reached a minimum of 14 months. Analysts also turned their attention to reducing the number of users of decentralized applications. So, the graph shows a sharp drop in IDEX audience, Fork Delta, Bancor and Augur.
