Most traded cryptocurrency worldwide 2023

Bitcoin's popularity surged in 2020 and 2021, and it remained the most traded cryptocurrency on online exchanges since. Based on 24 hour trading volume, Bitcoin outpaced Ethereum and Tether in December 2023. This is somewhat similar to a market cap league table of more than 100 cryptocurrencies — including ones for DeFi, NFT and stablecoins. The two virtual coins were the only ones to reach over 100 billion U.S. dollars, with Ethereum following by around one half this amount. Does this mean that Bitcoin gets traded more than Ethereum? Not necessarily, as the daily transactions of Ethereum tend to be significantly higher than that of Bitcoin.
