When you look at trading volume stats, sometimes those numbers seem inflated for real. A lot of what's counted includes wash trading and pump-and-dump schemes that don't reflect genuine market activity. That's why pure on-chain metrics and actual liquidity depth matter more than headline volume figures these days.

On-chain data is the truth; those trading volume numbers are heavily inflated.

To be honest, the trading volume data is indeed a big pitfall, with too much manipulation through wash trading and price manipulation.

On-chain data is the real deal; those inflated trading volumes should have been thrown into the trash long ago.

nah volume numbers are basically theater at this point. been through enough bridge collapses to know when i'm being sold fairy tales about "liquidity" – half that TVL is just wash trading masquerading as real activity, seen it a thousand times. on-chain metrics don't lie though, that's the difference.

Alright, to be honest, I only learned my lesson after being tricked a few times by those fake trading volumes. I see the impressive numbers, go all in, and then find out it's just wash trading; zeroing out is the norm haha. Now I only look at on-chain data and real market depth—don't be fooled by headline numbers.

Constantly looking at those fake trading volume data is really exhausting. Wash trading and price manipulation have long been old tricks.

On-chain data is the real deal; those trading volume numbers have been common knowledge for a long time... Who doesn't know about wash trading and price manipulation?

Accumulation data is everywhere; genuine liquidity is the key. It should have been explained this way long ago.
