Trading volume on the DEX reached a peak of $4.2 billion in October 2021 when SHIB’s price was trading at an all-time high of $0.00008616. The meme coin is currently trading at $0.00001317, down 84% over the last 10 months.

The decline in trading volume can largely be attributed to the overall downtrend in the crypto market. Other leading DEXes also saw lower trading volume over the year as token prices fell from their yearly highs.
