Diginex Day Trading Volume Skyrockets over 40% to $3 Billion

Nasdaq-listed digital asset company, Diginex Limited (Nasdaq: EQOS) announced on Monday that its trading volume for the last 30 days on EQUOS, the company’s crypto exchange, surged over 40% to $2.9 billion. Also, the firm’s combined 24-hour spot and derivative volumes rose to a record-high on May 20, after exceeding $200 million.

Furthermore, the exchange’s trading volume rise comes with an increase in the Diginex-own EQO token’s value since it was launched in April 2021. The virtual currency, pegged to the USDC stablecoin, is currently exchanging hands at 0.7650, according to EQUOS.io.

On the record trading volume reached by the company, Richard Byworth, Diginex’s CEO, stated: “EQUOS is one of the fastest, institutional-grade exchanges to reach these levels of volumes. This is even more impressive given we do not have an internal market maker on the exchange and have robust procedures in place to ensure all volumes are composed of valid trades.”

Diginex Trading Volume and EQO Token’s Performance

Byworth praised EQO token’s stability amid the current crypto meltdown seen in the markets, putting Bitcoin as an example, whose price has decreased 46% since April 2021.

“Over a similar period, EQO has remained stable and resilient, climbing from US$0.50 to approximately US$0.75, a 50% increase since the launch in early April 2021. This validates the unique structure of EQO, which was specifically designed to promote volumes on the exchange and reward customers for trading on the exchange and holding their tokens," Diginex's CEO said.

The announcement came in the wake of the firm’s listing at the US stock exchange in October, becoming the first crypto exchange listed on Nasdaq.
