Don't see why that should be the case. Unless there are massive swings in the number of trades, setting a flat rate for transactions should insulate them from the actual prices of crypto assets.

Precisely. Holders HODL during bear markets. Traders go bankrupt. New money stays on the sidelines. Everyone else forgets about crypto for a few years.

Volume goes down, fees collected go down

Crypto trade volume collapses catastrophically in bear markets
