actually this was the trade volume last month... and wats washtrading? i think much of the daily trade was also bots buying SBD using the steem trade function, selling it for bitcoin on bittrex, selling it for steem from bittrex back to their account and then cycling over and over again. this was profitable, and this kind of algorythmic trading increased liquidity and synced the steem price on the platform with the steem price on other platforms...
