Crypto Exchanges See Surge as Dormant Users Return
Imagine people who used to trade cryptocurrencies stopped for a while.
Now, many of them are back!
Crypto exchanges are seeing about half of these inactive users start trading again.
This is because of a new law called the GENIUS Act and because Bitcoin hit its highest price ever.
Trading volumes have been very high recently.
Bitcoin’s price went over $124,000, and experts think it might go even higher by the end of the year.
However, many Indian traders are using exchanges outside the country, which means the government is missing out on taxes.
Major crypto exchanges are experiencing a surge in activity from previously inactive users.
Up to 50% of dormant users are returning to trading platforms.
Bitcoin prices reached an all-time high in August 2025, contributing to the increase.
Trading volumes have been at record highs for four months.
A significant amount of trading volume has shifted to offshore exchanges.
