Examining the altcoins’ volume and supply on exchanges
Per data from Santiment, APE’s major transactions coincided with a significant spike in daily trading volume, which was the largest in six weeks. Moreover, the supply on exchanges of the altcoin experienced a noticeable uptick. This indicated that some coins might have returned to the exchange after a transfer of $27.9 million between exchanges.
On the other hand, Aave’s $21.4 million transaction impacted the transaction volume, which reached a five-week high as of 13 April. However, the supply on exchanges decreased following the transfer.
As for Lido Dao, the altcoin’s $15.6 million worth transactions came after a four-week high on-chain transaction volume. The supply on exchanges only slightly increased in the past few days.
