Title: Huobi faking market depth with proof!
Post by: sn0wfox on March 23, 2014, 02:01:18 AM
So there have been rumors circulating that Huobi has been faking their volume, and when I saw their market depth on BTC123 (http://mm.btc123.com/huobi.php) it is quite obvious that they are! If you look at the graph, it looks like there are almost no orders for the prices greater than 4,000RMB (the line is completely linear). Whereas comparing to BTC China's market depth (http://mm.btc123.com/btcchina.php), it's a healthy inclination. PS. You can only see the whole depth by clicking the 100% option.

I don't know about you, but I personally wouldn't trust leaving my fund with Huobi and trade on their platform!

Huobi popped out of nowhere and immediately was doing more volume than btc-china. While there is a good chance they are faking volume there is really no solid evidence to prove it.

Yay! Yay for Huobi!

They forced the other Chinese exchanges to zero-fee trading. And I expect that trend to spread to other exchanges worldwide - especially if Huobi adds a USD pair.

i think huobi volume is ok but take a look at okcoin: the volume and order book depth doesnt fit with its low volatility. prolly there are bots buying and selling the same amounts all day generating huge volumes.

I've seen at least one other thread here with more proof than this, but there have been several allegations of this elsewhere.

I have used Huobi for a few months and everything has been very good. Timely deposits and withdrawals, and customer service has been very helpful when needed. They seem very professional.

That still doesn't mean they haven't been faking the data though.

OKCoin's figures have been iffy for a while now.  Every time I look at this page (http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/v2/markets/graphicalComparison), they're always dwarfing the volume of every other exchange put together.  It's incredibly difficult to believe that could possibly be accurate in any way, shape or form.
