This repeated pattern of influence is mainly concentrated on Upbit, South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange. Bithumb, another major local exchange, is also in the top 3 by trading volume. Notably, these two exchanges account for nearly 70% of the cryptocurrency's total trading volume over the last 24 hours.
