This question is for those that are into crypto for many years already, does low daily volume means a project is bad? A project with good use case but still very young is now plagued with low trading volume, is this the end or there is hope?.

Very bad, that means lack of demand to the project. if the demand was high and the daily volume trade will be big but it will be counting only volume from the reliable exchange sites. The volume from the shit exchange sites were not reliable to be counted.


Actually depends on the result from the development. I do know that if everything were starting from the small but you can see how good the progress that already made and how many efforts that already made by the developers to increase the daily trade volume as well.

If it's still young then give it a time.

Low volume is normal if the project is new and has just been launched. But if a project has been there for years and it still got a low volume, then you know the answer already.

It's already the end of that project and it's about to be dead and for sure, it has been left behind by the developers of it and no investor is willing to invest on it anymore.

If the project already has a use case and the benefits are clearly very good, then it's not the end for the project because the team can still do more promotions to make the fans increase and the merchants start to like it again by implementing some new better methods. Because now the competition is so much that the team must still intervene to keep their products going forward and liked by many people.

If a project has a low trading volume, I think it is a sign that traders are not visiting the project or buying it, it is not a good sign but it doesn't mean that it will not get better if the team knows what to do like listing in big exchange, getting important partnership. It is hopefully that the project may improve if it has use value.

You should've just input the name of the coin so we can check.
Like they said, if it's new then that's normal. But if it's an old coin it means its lacking the interest of investors to buy their coin meaning you should sell it because what's left might just be those trying to accumulate more for future reserves. But it doesn't really mean there's still hope.
I have been in this situation before and luckily I have sold it before it went zero.

That's no hope coin if you ask me. but sometimes miracles happened as I experienced years ago. But this time you should turn away from those coins if you are not yet invested in them and never turn back and read everything you need to avoid such traps in the crypto market nowadays. I think you may be fallen from their telegram group, who always talk about their future plans about their project but the result of the market is not showing us what they have told you. If that's the case, then it's a red flag already that you need to get away from that project as soon as possible.

I think the only way is for the team to rethink and do something about the project,
because if there is no movement from his team the project will probably end just like that,
promotion is also one of the important things and can make the project interesting again

It essentially means that the trading activity is low. To improve this, the marketing team needs to ramp up itself and start doing promotional stuff on different social media, conferences and online gatherings. Gradually there will develop a group of investors pumping and dumping the coins on a regular basis and the gradual growth of the name of the project.

This is tough for a project that has already gone down and investing in it at this point would not be something I would recommend. Most altcoin projects end up dying out a painful death for it's investors as the developers abandon it and move on while investors are left with bags of junk coins.

If the project is young and the use case solves a problem that actually exists, try to motivate their team and see if marketing can make a difference.

It is not usually the case that a low volume will automatically mean the project is bad or going to die. When very few people are aware of a project the trading volume can be low because of the obvious reason. A project with a good utility but has a low volume especially with this current market situation can perform even more better once the market has recovered, i won't make any hasty decision yet if the team are active with the project, besides some volume are artificial, let the project grow organically.

Low volume means low rank in the market and there is no demand, volume is one of the parameters if one coin is doing good in the market, they are not generating enough support from investors, an old coin with low volume could only mean the coin's support is diminishing, developers should see that they do campaign and update the community so they can help raise the volume.

Daily trading volume is one of the main criteria for listing on a centralized exchange and, accordingly, its low level indicates that these coins are not of interest to investors. As a rule, a low level of trading is associated with low liquidity, which entails very high volatility, and accordingly a high risk from investing in such a coin.

There is a chance that the project might become more successfully in future, is this project a new or old project because this is a bad timing for new project so low volume should be expected, if you believe in the project then hold it, also i recommend using the amount you are willing to lose.

It is a sign that the project isn't having not much of community support but it can't alone decide that the project will die, if the volume is keep degrading for very long time then we can conclude that it is dying or else still there os chance to recover which highly depends on the project team effort to develop the projects further.

A good project will always be trusted by so many people and from this trust the volume will be building up caused by people who trust and think the project was legit will be telling their friends to invest in this legit project and so the project with low daily trade volume means if the project has no trust from the investors other than those who are gambling to make money as much as they can from investing in the low quality project. Don't you even see how  meme token was going in the past?

In my opinion, whether a project is good or not is very influential on the volume of the project, if a project has a large daily volume, it can be ensured that the project has a bright prospect, especially if the project manager is someone who has managed the project successfully, the project has a very special value.

Well, that's kind of confusing. If it really has a use case then it will pull more investors and the product of that is high trading volume because of incoming high orders. So I don't understand how something with a "good use case" like you said is being plagued like that.
Could there be another reason behind it?
What's the project? Let's check it out. I bet you are one of their investors and have been waiting long enough for a pump to happen but it won't materialize yet. But we cannot tell how if we don't know what it is.

It is not the end of the world but without a doubt it is a negative sign for the project to have so few people interested in it, also even if a project is good since we have tens of thousands of coins it is almost impossible for every single good project out there to gain recognition and many of them will disappear before the community notices them, it is because of this I always recommend to stay away from new coins and only invest in them once you can see how they have evolved over a period of time and how the community has received them.

For me, it's a red flag. It simply means that investors don't invest too much in the project so it wouldn't work in the long run. It will take time for them to progress. There are lots of potential projects that fail but there are also lapses and mismanagement by the developers. Nowadays, investors usually check the volume of the project to ensure that they're worth investing in.

It's normal for a new project to have a low transaction volume. As long as the project is still in development, updated regularly, it is not a dead project.

We're in the winter of the market if it's a new project then I think you should consider keeping them, if it's an old project you should stay away from them as much as possible, because that could be the end of it. Trading volume is a determining factor in the quality of a coin, especially older coins.

Personally, I think if the project has a low trading volume, it means that the project is under development or the project has ceased to be of interest to users. And in order to find out whether the project will continue to develop, you need to study all the information of the project. To begin with, you need to know exactly what the project is promoting and its product is in demand. If the project product is really very relevant in the cryptocurrency market. Then we can say that the project is promising and will bring profit to its users.

If the project is high demand, then it is absolutely trade volume enough. I see those coin are high quality, it trades volume almost high. If the project is not good for future, it will be very difficult to achieve successful or don't reach high volume trade.

A coin having low volume means, the damand for the coin is low, the coin might be having a good use case but people might not really know about the coin, since you said the coin is new then give it time and I think the team to concentrate on marketing to create awareness, a coin might have a good use case and won't still survive the market if the team are not really serious about the marketing of the project.

This is the first sign of the end of the project.
If the market is good for investment but the volume of a project is constantly decreasing then it means that the people are not satisfied with it. The project may be great but not perfect so the team should upgrade the project as per the circumstances So that a continuum of investment can be maintained.

If there’s a low demand, that means to me the project is not doing good and they failed to market and improve their project. Usually good projects gets the attention of many investors and that could create demand, if you are doubting about that project make sure to analyze again and know the possible reason why there’s no investors. I don’t usually invest on those low volume projects, its too risky for me and I think its really not worth it.

Not all unless the project is being worked on by the core devs. It may be an indicator of a low confidence from the investors but if behind the scene the team is doing their part and still fulfilling what's in the roadmap. Then, I'd say low volume on exchanges or any volume indicator is just nothing compares to what they are doing.

You need to verify everything as well if they are working their ass off too,l manipulation in the market is rampant so be always extra careful. Young projects tend to have these kind of usual scenarios but closing some deals, provide very important updates, etc., may change that topography of the chart and volume in no time.

Like livingfree mentioned, give it a time, it could still be a growing project and it has not been marketed yet nor properly distributed around social media that is why the numbers are not that amazing just yet.
If this is a project that launched like 6 months ago or last year, that is where you would call it quits now.

For me no because it's just a daily volume but I mainly look at the overall volume of the coin before I judge it. Not all coins performs good all the times but there's also a time where their performance is poor. The project you are talking about is still young so there must be a chance that it will improve later on and you said it has a good case? Then that's also one of its advantages to get noticed later on.

There are also young/new projects that pumps right at the start but it was mostly because of the hypes and they don't have any use cases so they can still die later on. Lets us not confuse ourselves from a hype project to a good project shall we?

A natural process will happen, because the crypto market is full of surprises. Precisely if we look at a project that is still very young and see the good use of the coin and the market volume is still low, that's our chance to enter and invest because the prospects are very good and the profit will be big.

Sometimes the crypto market is full of surprises but I personally don't agree with you, suggesting to invest in a new project whose trading volume is still very low, especially when the market conditions are bearish, of course there will be a risk of loss see what happened with the Luna project recently this, almost all investors have to suffer losses and lose everything, whereas previously Luna was one of the altcoins with a large trading volume.

The total trading volume of a coin on a centralized exchange is an important indicator, as it reflects its popularity among market participants. A high level of trading volume indicates the demand for this currency, hence its price may go up or down accordingly.
If the project has preferential advantages over the rest of the currencies that make it gain the trust and involvement of the community, of course it will be profitable for the first investors. But if the project bears the characteristics of failure, it is certain that it will never be excused.

Yeah, I think that period of time is already enough to have an assessment that project should have been in the phase of many stages and can determine if they're growing or not.

If no growth has been seen.

Then, that's very obvious to tell that you shouldn't be wasting your time and resources for that project and better move on to another project that's better or much better to just stick to the best in the market like bitcoin.

Cheap cryptocurrencies with low trading volumes are an attractive form of investment as they can bring huge returns in the future. If the project is young and the team is actively working, then it is possible that over time they will receive mass recognition, investor money and higher trading volumes. You need to decide whether to take risks early when the cryptocurrency is still undervalued, or wait until it has a good track record. Starting early gives you the best opportunity to earn big returns if the project works well, but it also puts you at a higher risk of losing money if it fails.

Actually every new project have a starting point on trading volume, let take a look of Shiba Inu at 2020, was nothing as of then, which have really teach me a lot of lesson not to let any Alt-coin down. base on question many alt-coin are created in difference purpose, is your duty to make a research about the particular project before investing, because at low volume, may be very good entry to invest or Run pull of the project.

It doesn't necessarily means that the project is bad if the volume is low, it is more likely that the economic condition of the project is very bad since there is no influx of demand for the project. 


No the end of the rope is when the project developers and community gave up.  Probably they need to reassess their marketing strategy.  After all exposure, promotion, and audience adoption are planned and executed by the marketing department.

It all depends on the project in question. If the token has utility and a good development team then it will survive. In the long run, the low daily volume is not an issue, utility will always prevail over price. Absolutely not. Low volume is a reflection of the low hype around crypto in general. There are still many great projects that are out there and will have a very bright future once things start to pick up here with regards to crypto.

It also depends on their time frame. If a project has been launched for a long time but there's still no improvement and development on its trading volume, I think that's the time where we could say that it's not a good project. Some projects still need promotions and advertisements but if different types of exposure have been done and the trading volume is still low, maybe investors don't trust the potential of the project.

Low trading volume over a long period of time on an old project is bad, but not if it's to a new project then it's not bad. Lack of a marketing team working on the project, so investors don't see them as a good project. And this is not the end if the developer continues to grow up their project and the marketing is further improved then gradually Investors will arrive and daily trading can explode.

Very low volume coins could end up with a bit of a problem. There is no denying that people have been trying to find coins that are cheap, and hope that some rich person would pump it and they would get richer. But that is not something we could end up with each time, in fact that would be wrong most of the time.

I believe that the top names are better, you won't get wealthy overnight with bitcoin investment, but if you do that long enough then you will retire as a wealthy person and that's what matters. I know for a fact that crypto is not easy way of making money, it is still hard, it is possible but you need to be smart about it.

Simply, low daily trading volume means that there are low people who are trading them, who are holding them. It means that the coins or tokens only have small attention. WHy should we invest in that kind of low assets? Although it may be because the coins are new enough, that is why the volume is still small. If they have increasing volume significantly, this will be good enough. But if there is no increases significantly, it maymean that the coinsmay be dead soon.

No, Trading Volume can't be considered a less good or bad project, for example.
Volume in
24 hours, PYR lower than SOL project, comparison of $10 million and $1 billion, both good projects.

I mean, it's bad that the project is not based on Volume, rather it leads to market demand and the project team to develop in the crypto market.

Except the project is new, if not, then low trading volume indicate that traders are no longer interested in dealing with it and if there's no trade, it invariably Mena's that the project is dieing or will soon collapse.


No matter how bad the market situation is, whether bull or bear, there should be either more sells or more buys, that's what determine the price of the coin.
More buys and less sells result in increase in price. While more sells and less buys results in price decrease.

So you see despite the bad market, activities must always be ongoing which will translate to trade volume.

Low volumes are not good signs for a project because it means there is no demand for it. No one will visit this token to trade when this happens but like you said its new project with good use case then things can change so you should give it time and keep a tab on the teams activities.

Some new projects with strong concept requires time to prove its capabilities we mustn't make any conclusion at the beginning of a project it's not necessary the low trading volume will be the same forever if the developers are serious about their project then they will keep attempting to spread the potential of their project which may attract investors and obviously it may leave positive impact on trading volume so these things may take time to be happen expecting something big overnight doesn't make any sense.

Most projects dont have any use case but according to the OP, this one does, which I am curious to see how. Because from my experience, a project that has a use case and actually solves a problem will become big in a matter of days to months. But if they are not doing it right, the project can suffer.

However this is ending up being a one-sided conversation like most threads in this section of the forum.
OP also needs to furnish more details about the project and how they having a use case that is actually useful.

End of the day, if the project is legit and the product/service is legit, they will gradually develop a market. A lot of work also depends on how the marketing and social presence is done but mostly it will work out.

Speaking of new projects, we really need to be patient and more precisely like you said, give the team time to do something,
If the team does their job well, of course we need our support.
We'll see if in the future there will be a high volume development or not

Almost all project teams are suffering under the current conditions, so it wouldn't be wrong if they were given time to think about developing a new project and also for their discretion in terms of developing the project, but if it takes too long it won't have any effect.

low volume can indeed be said that tokens or coins are rarely in demand by traders, yes we know that it can be read in the market,
because trading volume is always the first thing they display, but we also have to analyze fundamentally too,
even if the volume is low if fundamentals are good, I'm sure the coin will rise when the time comes

What project do you want to know about?
Trading volume is not the most important indicator. The price of a coin can rise for two main reasons: the team will make an effort and the project will develop and become interesting for investors, or manipulators will raise the price of coins to sell coins to hamsters.

I think one of the best indicators for knowing a project that would eventually do well is the use case. It does not take much to increase the trading volume of tokens, there are several bots that can do that without much hassle. A project could be going through set backs due to finance, but ones they have a good use case, they'll attract the needed investors and boom.

Volume expresses the quality of a project.If the project is new, it is normal.But if the trading volume of the old project is low, I think traders are not investing in the project.The common thing in trading is that a good project will always be trusted by many and the volume will increase from this belief.Trading volumes that are low will be good for long term investments.Every investor chooses the best project to invest his money and they think that the more volume the project has, the more investors there are.So they are invest in high volume projects.

Low trading volumes are often the reason why the project is traded on low-liquid exchanges, and the project simply does not have money to list on more popular exchanges. I read somewhere that listing on Binance costs 30 bitcoins or so. Not all projects are supported by funds or large investors, so they have liquidity problems at the start. Maybe if the project is 1 to 6 months old, low liquidity and low volumes doesn't mean it is bad and unpromising, but if it has low volumes and liquidity a year or more after the launch, it is already much worse. Most likely, this project was not able to occupy its niche and sooner or later will die, like 90% of altcoins.

That was not the sole basis to say if that project is good or bad, however, trading volume is also an indication if that project has bigger market potential or not. But of course, as a trader, it gives us more plays and earning fast if there is an active trade that was the advantage. It is found to have a reason why many traders are preferred with Bitcoin for the long-term, while hot coins (hyped) for a short-term trade. It is basically they are referring to trading volume which certainly affects the results.

It really back to the OP question. Depend on what kind of project. Is it new or old? Is it have a daily amount of mining or un mineable? There are a lot of factors when we see a trading volume and say if it was bad or not. A new project having low daily trade volume is fine but for an old project? It was bad.

New low-volume projects all depend on where they are releasing tokens. If a new project is released in one market then there is still hope when the token is listed in a bigger market with events in that big market to attract a lot of investors, so how big? The update that will be carried out by the project is because in order to increase its trading volume all the updates that will be carried out will be very important to attract more investors.

I totally agree with those of you who say crypto is full of surprises, but doesn't the DYOR concept need to be done by investors themselves. His statement above is that if he sees low volume but has a good use case, I think this is already good research and a good opportunity. Precisely with the Luna case, that was part of the surprise in the crypto world that many people should have realized from the start because it is similar to MLM, because it offers high interest on each of their stakes.

The criteria for judging a successful project or a scam can range from the team to the idea, roadmap, product to the community...
In case you are talking about a new project, small transaction volumes are also acceptable, because it is still young and new, it may not receive much attention from the community, or the marketing strategy is not good. If you want to evaluate in the most objective manner, then you should consider adding factors like the one I mentioned above.

If investors are more interested in a project, God willing, the project will be successful, because most of us see it that way.
Why do they release good tokens if there is no trust from investors, it's all useless.

There are many reasons why projects are not in top marketcap even they are really good coins  or has interesting usecase maybe lack of support from big companies like venture capitals or no marketing campaigns to attract more investors, I can see there are really good projects that deserve to be in top but lack of volume and popularity to investors is very low, one key to be a popular coin is to list on top exchanges like Binance thats why many projects are looking to list on this exchange to attract more investors and gain more volume and liquidity.

Right now most projects even bitcoin have a low volume. The market is as dead as it gets and the crashes happen so quickly because of this, there are people who end up losing some money due to the lack of volume and when someone sells a huge amount, it drops very quickly. This is why we should definitely reconsider how the money is spent these days, and not judge a project based on lower volume.

You should compare it with others, whatever it is, volume, liquidity, market movements, whatever you want to check, always check it compared to others around it. If it looks decent then I would say that it's fine to invest, at least compared to others.

You are correct, however we need to also take into account that even if a project seems to have all the things necessary to eventually become successful this does not mean that it will, we must remember that the markets are based on the demand and if there is no demand for such a coin then it will fail regardless of any other factors surrounding the coin, it is precisely because of this that meme coins become successful despite the fact that we all know they are shitcoins and nothing more.
