SOLVED: There is a loophole where deposits and withdrawels also count towards trade volume; top traders are just sending RPX back and forth between wallet
---
There is a disparity between the volume rankings by KuCoin and the actual traded volume. The compitition (
https://news.kucoin.com/en/redpulse-and-kucoin-to-give-away-1-porsche-911-carrera-3-0t-and-about-250000-rpx-tokens/) initiated by KuCoin and RPX give prizes to top 51 traders by volume. However, the volume for the top few traders that will get the majority of the prize money, far exceed the actual real trade volume list in coinmarketcap, livecoinwatch and even the volume reported by kucoin themselves.
Below you see the cumulative volume ranking of all rank 51 to rank 1 traders, as well as the volume of rank 1, 2 and 3 traders. As you can see, the volume by trader 1 already far exceeds the TOTAL volume traded of RPX on Kucoin. There seems to go something wrong with the volume calculation for these ranks, but I've not had any luck with RPX or KuCoin support.
