Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, lost the most market share of trading volume in the second quarter of this year.

Crypto trading volumes have hit yearly lows across quarter two, as market makers scale back on trading, according to data from Kaiko.

Average daily volumes for the second quarter of 2023 were $10 billion for the top 10 tokens (excluding stablecoins), compared to $18 billion average daily volumes in the first quarter of the year.

This comes as regulatory crackdown has in the last month, perhaps prompting traders and market makers to pull back. Last week, Binance and Coinbase, , received lawsuits against them from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In terms of individual token market share of trading volume across Q2, bitcoin has lost around 20 percentage points since its peak at the end of March. Ether outperformed bitcoin, taking a 5 percentage point increase in share of volumes. Binance’s BNB rose from 2% of volumes to over 7% in the last few days amid the Binance regulatory fear.

The Solana ecosystem stands to gain significantly from Trump's token launch. Celebrity involvement often generates substantial attention, attracting new users to the Solana blockchain and boosting on-chain trading volume. Furthermore, Trump's influence may encourage increased investment and attract developers, fostering greater diversity and innovation within the ecosystem. However, the sustainability of celebrity influence is uncertain and hinges on market confidence and the regulatory environment. In the long term, ecosystem projects on the Solana chain are well-positioned to be the ultimate beneficiaries, making them worthy of investor attention.
