It obvious that higher trading volum = more liquidity. liquidity refers to the ability of a coin to be converted into cash or other coins easily. Liquidity is important for any tradeable assets including cryptocurrencies.
Unfortunately, I have obversed that most coins listed this days on certain exchanges are without volume, that is, illiquid.
It is very clear that this situation was not common found before 2019.
What could be the reasons for this abnormalities. Your thoughts.

just don’t buy the coins which have small trading volumes. it's too dangerous. if you can't sell your coins to anyone, then you can just stay with these coins forever

that caused by those coins were getting listed on the crap exchange site, in this case crap exchange site means the exchange sites that fully manipulated its own volume and that means there was no liquidity on such exchange site and any coins that listed on that site will not get any volume to build the liquidity.

This could be the main answer why that thing was happening.

These coins or tokens that you are referring too are known as shit coins or tokens. Almost 80 percent of cryptos listed in CMC fall under the category of shit coins. These are those projects which have no future or have been stagnant for a long time.

This was not very common before 2019 indeed. The years 2017-2018 was somehow very good years for altcoins. Those were also the years when the ICO craze was still very much alive. Crypto investors were still very much excited and bullish on crypto projects that was why hundreds of millions in investments were pouring in. Upon listing of new altcoins on exchanges, volumes would almost instantly rise.

Years after however, there seems to be nothing productive that came out of it. That was one big hollow trend. The beginning of the end then followed and the trust from crypto fans and investors started to fall down. And then altcoins slowly died, one after another. Volumes were lost, developments were not seen, even project team developers were slowly exiting.

What we are seeing now is but the aftermath of this, the lost of interest and trust in altcoins.

One factor that we can also consider is the exchange is not properly marketed or they have a reputation issues, I have seen so many exchanges in the scam sections and when they are reported investors and traders are shying away or stopped trading in these exchanges so traders should be careful in dealing with these exchanges.

I will never buy those coins/tokens because I know it useless and its hard to take profit on no volume listed coins. Well, technically there's a volume but that's not enough for you to trade actively.

Good exchanges will de-list all the inactive tokens/coins because they are not making money with them so that's the best solution for the exchanges. Buying no volume coins or no demand at all is like losing all your money into shit things, always but the best and top coins to make profit.

Depends on exchange and the coin itself. Most of the popular exchange does have a strict rule for minimum trading volume while some also generates fake volumes to keep the coin floating. The more dubious or less known exchanges lets any coins be listed on for a fee and let them trade the way they want. Also the dex don't control about what is listed and how much it's traded.

Most of these projects are too pushy to list their tokens to exchanges and it is too obvious that they are only looking for profits from investors and the public's investment, this is what makes a lot of changes every year, some even do not have the capital to list the tokens they market in all global market, at least every project has a community that is strong enough to raise volume in the market they are listed, but the project lists their tokens in a market that is not very good and tends to be devoid of big investors, that's what makes the volume / price unstable the price they promised, at least the project project can form a community that helps their project growth until the token is listed on large and small exchanges ..

Reason for that is simple lack of liquidity and demand. Not common? I dont think so even last 2017 anf 2018 there were tokens that have iliquid state due to their none demand on the market. Nothing can stop them from launching new tokens everyday, given the decentralized aspect of cryptocurrency. The only impact of it are shitcoins are increases which does not help the market but just divide the investors money.

Actually, there are many reasons but simply.
1. The Shitcoin, very natural for this coin has no transactions.
2. The Market is not popular. there are many markets that do have few transactions even though they are class coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple.

one simple reason, there is no demand that is why those altcoin have no volume. 

When an exchange is starting, they tend to list any token that took interest in their exchanges, no matter its status.  Just for example, Bittrex when it was starting often go to the project announcement and offer their service for free.  And when the developer subscribed for it then the project is listed.  Others just list projects and announce it to the project's ann thread. Thus many unknown coins are listed on exchanges and become idle because of having no demand at all.

It's not abnormalities, its simply because too many listed coins already present and there are still many projects that are adding on the list. Among these coins there are some that same with uses and idea so only the best among them will be notice. Some were considered shitcoin now as no update or development made. In my case I only focus on top alts or trade with active trading volume. Maybe many does that that makes those no volume in trading unnoticed.

Some exchanges already delisted some of altcoins before, soon more coins will be delisted and it is for better market.

The ICO craze worked and ended up the same way any other stock craze does: the rich and experienced end up with more money while the weak traders and FOMO hunters ended up emptying theirs.

Nothing productive came out ot the ICOs because it was just a cycle that couldn't go on forever. It was something that many knew had to stop but only few took the right actions. A ton of money has been poured in DeFis as well in the past month, how do you think this will end?

Actually, there were a ton of coins before 2019 that had zero volume and no liquidity. I still have a few of them I never got to sell - they're still on some exchanges, but have under $10 volume per day lol. Some of the exchanges hold these coins on there because: 1. the exchange has volume so low they care about every little volume a shitcoin could generate; 2. the shitcoins' devs have paid money to have them listed or 3. the said exchange just doesn't care.

It will only a matter of time before we see that coin will delist on the exchange because they don't have enough volume to trade. The trader will not use that coin to trade because the coin can not give them the profit. But we don't know what the reason for this is, but maybe the developer can pay the exchange to list their coin, and they can expect to make a lot of money from that. It will be the trader who decides to trade that coin or not, and if the trader thinks that the coin is not worth, they will not use it.

Those coins were not getting the volume can't attract the buyers. If you are seeing from here https://coinmarketcap.com/new/ and then you will see some new coins have a very small volume.

IMO if volume represented the total demand for the token. In so many cases when the project can't attract the demand and it will result in the project will have very small liquidity and it will always become the main problem that makes the project die too.

In my opinion, most new coins this year are not well prepared for their projects, or maybe investors prefer to trade / invest in coins that are already popular. As we know that the number of participants in token sales (ICO / IEO) has been decreasing until now, this indicates that there are many participants who do not believe in token sales at this time, maybe one of the reasons is that most of them end up fraudulent or token prices when listing on the market. the comparison becomes far from the initial sale price.

Maybe you are looking at a rather unpopular small exchange? because most of the coins that are listed on popular exchange such as binance usually meets the required minimum volume and if not they got delisted. there are many crappy coins out there that has no liqudity or volume but the one that listed on popular exchange usually have good liquidity and majority of them aren't that hard to liquidate. Also, new coins tend to struggle when it comes to liqudiity but if the devs could succesfully promote it they will have enough volume.

I see a point in what you are saying because a coin with high volume means you have investors or traders on it and that means buying and selling are on with it and you can sell freely because ask is always activated.

Most of the newer projects are lacking liquidity and volume which is alarming and for me it is just a sign of no interest from the market which may be due to many reasons biggest being that market is not finding the project interesting or worth investing. This situation is here from long and i do not agree that it started recently it is being seen for long on various exchanges.

That is a thing to happen. It never makes sense being listed if there is no volume, definitely, investors would have no time to take a look at them but just have to ignore.

Anyway, this is not new to us and it is happening almost all the time, some developers make it just to show that they are legit and just to fulfill their promise with the early investors but I'd never think it was enough. The legitimacy of a certain project will not just be listed but it should have a market volume, it is proof that there are people who do buy and sell, not a dead one with ZERO trading volume.

You know the most important things from an investor or a trader point of view are liquidity and volume.
Whether it is about selecting an exchange to trade on or a pair to trade all traders look for liquidity.
That is perhaps the reason why most traders stay in the most traders pairs of top coins only.

Some of those exchanges even faked the volume of those shit coins in a bid to deceive unsuspecting investors I always emphasis on and encourage any crypto investor to properly research for coins with more liquidity and volume and traded in a reputable exchange to avoid falling into a wrong hand ie exchange there are numerous untrusted not credible exchanges are out there in cryptosphere who are capitalizing on the non regulation of cryptos by involving shady deals to scam or defraud investors.

I have to say greed of exchanges are nothing compared to greed of ICO creators, but it is still quite high. If an exchange wants to make money having as many coins as possible is great because even if you do not have high volume because of one coin, you are getting the trading business of that person as a whole when they come for one coin.

So, let's say there is XYZ coin which is brand new and not listed anywhere else, if you list it, 100 people comes and they do trade XYZ to ETH and back all the time but they do btc/eth or btc/usdt or whatever there as well, that is where you make your money. Same as grocery shops not making profit on bread or even canned goods but making a killing out of electronics, they make you get in there for cheap stuff and leave with high margin stuff.

Never buy thoes coins that are volume because they are outright dangerous and there can shut down the project at any time. Lots of low volume means less investors in their project and there are a lot of dubious forecasts in that project which pro investors do not want to invest there. Of course you have to understand about shit coin and fake volume exchange then your invest good safe.

30% is really little, I think at least we have 70% of altcoins without liquidity in this market. There are a lot of useless altcoins created and they are only listed on small exchanges and have not received interest from investors, even old projects listed at major exchanges are slowly die when investors are constantly frustrated with them

the main reason is we already have a lot of coins in the market and not all of them is want to have by traders .  Other things is they don't find any good reason for buying a coins that they think it will not give them profit and not usable for them,and Many other possible reason.

All centralized exchanges take a fee for listing, so why would they shouldn't list all tokens that pay? They will lose money and you know how business works. Situation is diffrent with big exchanges that already have a lot of coins, these exchanges are overwhelmed and they didn't list all tokens that pay them :).

It only mean that it has no demand or no one’s interested buying them. Don’t worry they’re gonna be delisted on that exchanges anyway. Also coin listed on unpopular exchanges won’t gain much liquidity compare to big exchanges, that’s why projects should always consider exchanges too because its also a big factor to gain popularity.

Everything is interconnected with money making. Too many coins getting listed to the exchanges isn't new. Following the existence of ethereum we've got to see more and more number of altcoins developed with various backing technology/Blockchain and working product.

The exchanges make money out of these projects, listing them to the exchanges. Most of the well known projects easily gets sold off, while the rest with limited promotion gets listed and soon used to be delisted.

I truly hate coins and tokens that do not have volume or liquidity on exchanges because when you need some funds urgently or need of quick funds you will not be able to sell and get cash easily that is why i have learned the lesson now and i try to stay in btc or eth mostly because these are the most liquid coins and we can cashout them anytime as and when required without any problem whatsoever.

I would like to add that, first, higher trading volume happens when there are users or people coming into the project, when people do not see the need for any particular coin, whether the coin is listed on top exchanges or not, it will gradually have low trading volume and thus risks being delisted. However, one of the main factors I think contributes to low trading volume of a coin is when the coin is listed on bad exchanges which have no huge users. Also, for the coin to list on such bad exchanges shows the team are not really experienced enough to handle the project.

That is not good when you are holding a coin and there is no way to liquidate it on the exchange it is listed you have something to worry, the coin will soon get delisted and you will have no chance to liquidate it, there's little chance that a coin get listed with other exchange with no trading support, you can consider that a loss in your portfolio.

indeed, currently a lot of coins / tokens are entering the exchange but they do not have a large volume
it may be because the project is not attractive and the coin or token ecosystem is not running and or the project is not being continued by the developer
volume has a huge effect on trading, but unfortunately not all projects have a good community

It is very common as far as 2018, lots of tokens/coins that pop up because the people behind thinks that they can solved every human problem with their projects. But there are not investors, and they are listed on shit and lower tier exchanges that's why there are no trading volumes.

And besides, majority of them are simply pump and dump coins, so what do you expect, and hence the term "shitcoins".

The main reason I think is the popularity and if the token is also listed in the unknown exchange for sure the volume will be low because no demand at all. There are many different tokens or coins to trade and there are many popular trading site I think before the project listed in the exchange better to Market their project excellently by doing that people will become curious and interested.

a lot of coins like that, I think the purpose is different. however, if there is no volume or activity on it, it is likely only aimed at attracting new investors who are not very clear about volume. A good project is a project that lists in several markets but has a large real volume. too many lists on the market is not a good thing when there is no volume in it.

good coin does not need to be listed on so many exchanges but one good exchange is enough  . what important here is the volume that it gets are legit . almost fogot that exchanges arent the same. some are strict and some arent  .

 maybe listing on two or more wont hurt so that users will have an option to trade in the exchange that they are more comfortable with .

I think most of the coins you are talking about these days are not trendy, as they are not DeFi. For instance you have blockchain coins like Nebula, Komodo, Aeternity, Ark, Stratis, Nuls, Wanchain, that were the top dogs on the previous bullrun market, and now they seem to be shit coins in terms of volume and price.

This happens because some little exchange hope to earn more money from commissions if they list more coins. If the coins have not followers o strong projects will die soon and with them the interest and the volumes.

That's the work of unqualified developers, con artists and scammers, this is why its not safe to invest money on projects that have very low volume, though few brings unexpected results but the chances are just too slim, better demanding crypto projects are better

Most probably the way the ICO craze ended. This looks very temporary to me. This exaggerated hype surrounding DeFi looks almost exactly the same hype that characterized the ICO trend way back then.

And as with the ICO craze, those who are wiser will make the most out of it while it lasts but those who really believed, who became more than loyal to certain projects and tokens, will end up with tokens drained of value.

I just hope that people are learning their lessons from the ICO years. Those were not cheap lessons after all. Hundreds of millions were burned from that.

Nothing last forever mate, either ICO or IEO always take your gains and walk away, not all crypto projects are good for long term holding, within few years your invested money will shrink to penny, crypto space is all about opportunities, they don't last forever, buy low and sell high, once target is met take profit, this is the way.

These coins with low volume are most likely a shit coins.

How can you trade it on exchanges if there's no one who will buy the coin? You will be stuck on it and lose your money.

Thats why its better to stay away in this kind of coin and only support those who have high volume and good potential coin listed to a popular exchanges.

If a coin has no volume, it means it's not wanted by people.
And if it's not wanted by people, that means it has no real use, and no "hype" around it,

Having said that, if you believe in a project, a situation like this could be a good buying opportunity

There's nothing new to what the OP mentioned. If they have no to low trading volume, as you said, they are crap coins and created only for the benefit of the dev team. It is like grab cash and go. There are thousands of them, some managed to ran away with multi-million dollars, remember those ICO days. The only reason they are existing is to pocket money, nothing more.

Devs are building useless tokens of cause with no real usefulness, what do you expect? No one will buy them and such projects will keep going down in value, liquidity and volume, also some scammers build projects for pump and dump purposes, it's left for you to be careful

More trading volume means that it's much safer to invest on that coin. As well as with the volume of the exchange, the more volume the exchange has, the more attractive it is for the trader. That is why some exchanges are faking the volumes of coins on their exchange. If there is lot of volume, that most likely means that you can easily buy and sell any coins that you wanted as long as there are people who are willing to book trades on that coin on a particular pair.

It's hard to trade on low-volume coins. It's risky, so make sure that you've think of it before you proceed on engaging trades on those coins.
Those zero volume coins are sometimes considered dead because no one wants to try to invest into it.

As long as they do their job well and make products on schedule, I believe their project will always receive interest from investors and the project will always have liquidity. In the exchanges in this market, and if they want the fomo price they can create many different contests

This has been happening in the crypto space for years, not sure why people are still surprised by it. Those tokens that lists on low tier exchanges are lacking the capital to pay for listing fees on high tier exchanges, so they have to make a compromise, not listing anywhere or list on some low-liquidity exchange that will list their tokes for free or for a small fee, its really a no brainer, at least they can say their token is trading, regardless the non-existing liquidity of it.

Any projects that has no good volumes are bad for investment, there is high chance that the projects won't live for long or even decline more in value, the reason why such projects never had good volume is because they have bad use case

But still it is better to be listed in many exchange as users don't need to go around other exchange to accumulate the coins when it is listed in their own exchange or fav exchange.
If the team is indeed concern about the users and investors?then they will list even the Good coins in many exchange.

Agree. It is convenient to have lots of exchanges. For example some users already have accounts on some exchanges, and they dont need to register on another and pass KYC if they want to trade particular altcoin. When an altcoin is listed, I usually wait when it is listed on an exchange I'm familiar with or have account already. I'm not fond of having lots of accounts on exchanges. Because sometimes you can forget where you have funds, and where not.

Answer is too simple, these coins are about to be dead as there isn't any demand for these coins in the market now but it was not like this from the start. These coins used to have a large liquid market when they were listed on these exchanges but with time they started getting oversold and interest over time declined, most probable reason would be that the developers didn't perform well and were just selling their stash to move on to another project and with time people also caught up and now the exchanges are only having the coin listed without any trading volume or demand and in some time these coins will be delisted from these exchanges.

in my opinion there is only one reason, is the altcoin project is not liked by investors and no traders like it,
and the result is volume and price dumps, it is very natural that this happens

I never thought of investing in an obscure project or a junk project, lots of coins listed on CMC, but some of them become unlucky coins that have no volume. Coins that do not have market standards or dead coins should be removed from the exchange, because of the developers have got what they want and there will never be any intention of continuing the project they left behind.

for no specific reason, they only pay to be listed. so even if their coin has no volume it won't be delisted. I find a lot of coins like this on small exchanges like LAtoken or idex. and on average those coins from failed projects.

The reason why a coin has volume is because its in demand and demand is born out of need and use case. When a project lacks use case, it becomes a pump and dump tool and when not chosen to serve in that capacity, it loses its volume. There are many more worthless altcoin than the useful ones.

that's what happened to many projects today. they only have exchanges without any clear trade. or sometimes there is manipulation from the developer. The volume is small and indeed the exchange should make it a standard for those who do not have sufficient trading volume.

if a coin or token has no trading volume on their exchange, then it is likely a dead coin. if a coin has a high trading volume, it is widely used by traders. and the fact that investors will not stick with coins that have no price developments at all, of course they prefer other coins that are more profitable.

Its was so obvious the token has got no interest from a new investors. Most of new project has no ready product to offer the investor to gain their trust. That why there was no investors dare to buy their tokens. Cause everybody knew projects with has no liquidity will vanish in one year period.. most of them will failed.

Currently, there are up to 10,000 different cryptocurrencies listed on exchange platforms. There are over 1000 different trading platforms and among the people are only interested in about 50-60 platforms. Among the top platforms, only about 50-100 cryptocurrencies have trading volume left with empty volume.
There are too many projects and most of them are not successful and very few people know, among them are scam projects. People are only interested in big projects so don't be surprised by this.

Maybe trading is like trends, a lot of people usually only see and look coins that still hype and have big volume trading. Only a few people who see and interested in low volume coin or maybe want to gambling because that kind of coin usually move very fast, that is when people who take that risk to get profit. If me i will play safe and keep stay with high volume coins.

Those are the coins that doesn't have any demand anymore or otherwise they are looking for more exposure in the market by listing in multiple exchanges even they have no definite volume, but it will be removed anyway, liquidity is surely a huge factor in the tokens growth, but it depends on what exchange they are listed but some exchanges are only full of wash trading so you need to be careful.

If a coin faces this problem there will be only some reasons:
1. No trading volume
2. No token circulation on the market
4. No project development moreover from the team
5. No innisiatif from the team to manage and also rise up the coin
6. has been delisted from an exchange.

At least they are the ways. But here, you will need to check the cons that have value and also token from getting free.

All of the shit exchangers are strongly focused to list random projects, they didn’t analysis before to add any coin an exchange. Because their main intention likes to make money through listing fee. Most of the coins have no trading volume on latoken,p2pb2b exchanges but i never seen delist announcement from those exchanges. But big exchangers are playing different role by delist method against dead projects.                      

If you look at most of these illiquid coins, you will observe that they are also listed on shitty exchange, likes begat like. There are some coins and tokens that they have no reason to be in existence, but because the greedy developer also want free Bitcoin he or she will create his or her own coin hoping gullible investors would buy them

I guess one of the reasons are people are trying to sell value less coins in a desperate attempt to cash on them. Ive read on a thread before that some people are trying to sell coins from dead projects.

At the onset when bitcoin was established, it took a great deal of effort to establish a cryptocurrency because the team had to set up the blockchain and several other edifice from scratch, but with ethereum where creating a smart contract takes less than 5 minutes and the doesn't require technical knowledge, tokens and projects are flooding the cryptocurrency Airways. Several of them lack use case and others have no bearing, so they end up adding to the number of cryptocurrency without volume.

So if the project creates constant hype, it means it's a good project?
No wonder people like you lose so much money with shitcoins

That's just one in many reasons why some altcoin with no liquidity or volume. And this kind of thing already very normal for a lot of coin in 2019 too, not just a new thing. I think there is too many exchanges and if one coin listed on too many exchanges but only a few good exchange among it, people will stay on the good exchange. Making other dead with very low volume and liquidity. Back in 2019 or 2018, this problem is a bit better because not too many exchanges exist back then.

this is the simple solution. if you're short term traders or holders and the coins don't have trading volumes, just sell your coins immediately. they have no hope for survive in market, then will be delisted from market soon. it means the coins are already dead. nowadays, some exchangers was too easy to listed some risky coins.

What I observed this year is that the developers and investors including the community base are only after listing on exchange simply to dump their bags of tokens. Despite the obvious that the project is yet to launch any product or they just launched a unless app or are not at all ripe for listing, they mount pressure for listing. No volume will build up from any unplanned listing. And again, picking exchange with low trading volume or user base or exchange with low reputation and known for fake volume is a sure dead route for such project. No liquidity will be built up from there.

No trading volume is the fault of the coin itself. Lack of trust/interest from the investor because there is no potential or progress in the development of that coin. Those are just normal thing for any coins doesn't hold up the expectation of investors even after it got listed in the exchange.

Watching ppl Invest in fake volume tokens which are controlled by team members. Then seeing them lose 99% & crying as they didn't understand. People post they making lots of money with shitcoins, crypto enthusiast are guided to take advantage of investing in shitcoins without any knowledge of product even unknown most Important part the supply.

If the promoters are able to keep the hype alive, then the trade volume would be good. On the other hand, the trade volume will be minimal for those coins, where the promoters have made their exit. Even after they dump their coins, it will remain alive at the exchange for sometime. To avoid the suspicion, the promoters usually deploy bots to keep the trade kicking for a few more days.

The market is quite saturated already, and we have only few good exchanges that has big requirement in order for the project to get listed. Since we are seeing that most of the projects are only listed in small exchanges, that tells us that only few projects are quality projects in the crypto space and that means the risk is very high that we might fail from our investment, so we need to be very careful with that.

This wouldn't change, more and more projects will be created since the market lacks regulation, anyone can create a project, if it fails, they'll create another trash projects again.

Most  of  CEX are money maker, they just list those altcoins to make money. Let's say there is a conspiracy between the exchange and the coreteam of those tokens/coins. First day of trading I'm pretty sure there are volumes but after a week the volumes slowly fading until the bots take over with a min volume just to keep the trading activity alive but the reality you'll get trap. That's how it works, so how does the exchange and project team makes money? Exchange boost there popularity, got trading fees plus the money from the project and the project can sell there token in exchange slowly.

No volume means no way to liquidate so these coins are dead and will soon be out and forget we have already thousands of coins here in the announcement thread and look where are they now they are out of the market, forgotten and never to come back anymore, they are just a sore to the eyes of their holders in their wallet.

That's actually your clue to avoid those shit-coins and do not even try too add them into your bags. Most exchanges only wants to make more money by adding more alts into their markets to attract more users/traders. But as a traders you should already know that such alts ain't good. Regardless to say that the good, big, reputable and popular exchanges might have a lot of requirements for a "new coin" could be tradable on their market. Which make the cheap listing market their only hope and that's why they don't have that much volumes and all.

Lots of reasons. The team stopped the development and don't update anymore. Maybe the coin is shit, only added in the exchanger by giving the fees. Traders are not interested or the coin is scam but the exchanger didn't remove it from their exchanger. Actually these coins are dead coins. Better not to trade dead coins.

You need to know that exchanges that don't remove scam coins or dead coins are useless exchanges and usually exchanges like that can also scam their users, because a top exchange or a good exchange will not list dead coins, they will still be. clear it from the exchange list.

If a coin is not having the needed volume on exchange it means the coin is not strong in terms of use case. A coin that has solid use vase will sure attract adopting from the community which will lead to good volume on exchanges. No one is ready to invest in useless coins.

I believe that it was because of the inactivity of the project. Most of the hunters sell their tokens as they receive it from the project. This will give a little activity in their token temporarily, however, after most of the hunters sell it the next problem will be the buyers or simply the investors. I've only known a few coins able to do that to maintain the liquidity on their coin, it is easy to sell a coin but it is hard to attract investors. That's what I believe. Apparently it easy to be listed on an exchange but the problem is your coin can able to maintain?

I don't think so whatever happens to a coin it's the developers that should take the blame they make things happen they are responsible on the future of the project if they listed in a small exchange then they should not stop marketing completing the roadmap and listing it in big exchanges, bear market or bull market they need to keep the development moving.

I think the main reason for that situation are the inactivity and inadequate steps taken by the team of that project. Another reason is no one is interested on that coin or token.That type of coins and tokens are very risky. I have lost about 200$ on investing ENTS token which is listed on Mercatox exchange. ENTS has no liquidity at all.

I believe that if there is no liquidity, then there is no demand for the asset. At this time, it has a large number of crypto assets that no one needs. At the same time, project administrators who released such are active in every possible way trying to make money on their cryptocurrencies by selling them at any price. This is also influenced by the oversaturation of crypto assets in the market. In other words, until the crypto market dumps unnecessary assets, we will observe this picture. However, there is one more point. Now investments are made only in top altcoins and new promising tokens, all the other ones are active and do not arouse interest. The situation in the world also affects this situation. Some investors do not invest at all as they are simply afraid to do so.

If the coin has no volume then you should not buy it because it will become shitcoin and coins like that are usually listed on small markets or in exchanges that have fake volume

It shows us that less interest from investors to buy those coins. I think we don't need to be surprised because it was already happening for years. Many coins listed on exchanges are getting worse because they have less interest from investors to buy. They must have something to trigger investors to buy.

many coins listed without any trading volume, it means that the coin is going to be a dead coin, a shitcoin. Well, many factors about this from the developer teams that do not pay attention more to their project, and also the low of the investor's interest to the coins. SO in this case, they have no volume.

in 2018 - 2019, I saw a lot of coins that had no trading volume for two years, but in 2020 they began to rise again. If they don't have trading volumes this does not mean that the coin is dead

I don't think an alive project would just go zero volume for years and rejuvenate. Even a low profile community coin that's active would have a small volume. For a mineable coin, no transactions means the blockchain just stops and miner would not keep running their device for nothing. And even for a token, that's creepy. If a coin jumps after being dead for years than it's a fake pump.

To be honest, I saw a few coins gone through hard phase of the very low trading volume for many reasons. It really needs a serious time to think about selling your bag when it has a low trading volume. Since the price won't be good and most likely, you're selling at a loss. Sometimes, reasons can be very simple and understandable like it needs to go thru a process of swapping so people rather withdraw coin from the exchange back to their wallet. No coin at the exchange = low volume.

It needs marketing strategy to make their project popular. Too many coins listed in the exchange and only those legit and with development continues to survive in the market. These happen all the time many project pop up in this industry some are really worth investing and some just scam no value.

Do you mean a low volume coins due to mass sales ..?
Investors and traders can do nothing but sell their assets cheaply, after seeing the condition of the coins they were holding got worse, they immediately went into mass sales before the coins they held became junk in their wallets. Sales made by investors and traders have nothing to do with a decrease in the volume of coins in the market, because they always follow the flow of coin movements every day.

   The reason is only one, people are not interested in that coins and nobody wants them! There are sell orders, but nobody is
buying, when that happens to some coin you can expect to be delisted after some time. It's what would good exchange do.
   When I am investing in low cap coins I always check their daily volume! I like to see where are they traded, volumes on different
exchanges, it's one of the factors that helps me to decide is there a potential for this coin to grow in the future, or not!

For sure, if they didn't have a volume, their project would have died because there weren't any investors interested in that project. I also invested in many projects in 2018 but in 2019 those projects suddenly dropped in volume and the price dropped many times, now all of them are dead.

Almost 70% of the altcoins have died over time since 2017, the last price boom was caused by HYPE which slowly disappeared. Many investors have the interest to be in a similar time period in upcoming years but it wouldn't be easy to live in those gold years. HYPE is the driver but the passengers have no concentration to hold the shitcoins for years. Experience is essential at this point for holding hardly dropped altcoins.

Market is over saturated with useless coins without any real usage that will arouse interest of investors, dev team are just pumping in new coins every time but even the already existing ones don't have demand hence there won't be any volume, many don't have nothing to offer and it seems traders don't find interest in trading them, reason why some exchange are wash trading.

A dead coin or soon to be dead usually have very low or even none exist trading volume. This is a common thing you would found before 2019 since there were a hard crash in 2018 and many crypto projects become dead after the hype is over. Today, I think it up to exchange to asset the liquidity of a crypto coin since as you know, fake trading volume is also a thing. High liquidity doesn't mean it have a real volume.

The lack of investor interest can be the main trigger if the coins that have been listed do not have a high trading volume on the existing exchanges, even poor promotional programs or team performance that are not optimal on related projects can also be one of the causes so that they cannot attract the attention of many people to be able to invest in it

to be honest I am no stranger to such projects, I mean the project coins are listed on the Exchange but have no trading volume. if you are still curious then you can try looking at the coingecko site, on that site it is easy to find or detect every coin that has no trading volume and has been abandoned by the developer.
