On the day it confirmed an outage, Coinbase also registered its best daily performance since February 2018 in terms of the trading volume.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange hosted $1.5 billion worth of trading activities on June 26, according to market data firm Nomics Crypto. The level, as shown in the chart below, was first broken to the upside in October 2017, coinciding with the beginning of an uptrend in the cryptocurrency market that would later mature into a $700 billion bull run.<\/p>\n

The surge in Coinbase daily trading volume appears amidst an ongoing bitcoin price boom<\/a>. The leading cryptocurrency by market cap has posted more than 270 percent gains on a year-to-date basis, including a 242 percent profit realized only since April. Even in this month, bitcoin has registered up to 86 percent gains, rising by a whopping $6,441 on Coinbase.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the cryptocurrency market, the digital assets are lagging behind bitcoin, especially in June. That is also reflective in Coinbase’s daily volumes, wherein interchangeable bitcoin-to-fiat pairs are dominating 66 percent of the net daily trades, according to data assembled by CoinMarketCap.com. That roughly puts the fiat-enabled bitcoin volume, as noted on June 26, near a billion dollars.<\/p>\n
