August proved to be challenging for traders in the cryptocurrency market, serving as a reminder of the importance of prudent risk management and a strategic approach to trading.
Despite initial optimism, Bitcoin underwent a significant decline to $25,200 (-12%), believed to be triggered by speculative rumors of BTC being sold by SpaceX. This decline led to the liquidation of traders’ positions amounting to $1 billion.
However, towards the end of the month, Bitcoin exhibited bullish sentiment following the release of US labor market reports and news of Grayscale’s victory in a case against the SEC.
Inflation in the US reached 3.2%, in line with expectations. This figure marked the highest in the past year compared to the previous level of 3%.
Former CEO of the scam exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, was placed under arrest pending a trial scheduled for October. Meanwhile, FTX introduced a plan for restructuring the exchange, but according to the plan, holders of the FTT token should not expect compensation for their losses.
Transitioning from general news to platform-related updates: Let’s begin with the figures. The total trading volume for the month amounted to $173M. Binance exchange led in terms of volume, with our users trading a total of $99M.
During the month, Veles bot users generated earnings, factoring in losses from stop-losses, totaling $326K.
The most profitable day turned out to be 30 August, when users earned $20615, considering stop-losses, through 11029 trades.
