Yup. Wash trading by bots is endemic throughout crypto, worse on certain specific exchanges but prevalent throughout. Very very little of the volume is from real live people buying or selling!

Not necessarily wash trading (though it does occur), a lot of it is just perpetual chain reactions of bots. Remove exchanges with no or negligible fees from the calculation and the volumes for these coins tend to plummet.

I wonder if a bot limited exchange would be able to succeed?
