Cumulative monthly traffic to 20 leading crypto exchanges increased by 8% in October, reflecting heightened investor interest and increasing participation among retail traders heading into the 2024 United States elections.
According to data from ICO Analytics, Pump Fun recorded the highest month-over-month increase in percentage terms — with 100% growth in October. BullX followed behind with a 78% growth in web traffic from September to October, and Uniswap came in third place with a 42% increase.
Binance, WhiteBit, and Coinbase dominated monthly traffic in terms of total visits in October, at 54 million, 33 million, and 30 million, respectively.
The increased traffic drove a rally in the crypto markets consistent with the “uptober” narrative, or the expectation that digital asset markets typically surge in October after trading sideways during the Summer months.

<h2 id="evidence-of-a-sustained-rally">Evidence of a sustained rally</h2>
While crypto exchanges experienced a boost in web traffic during the lead-up to the 2024 United States elections, the outcome of the races on Nov. 6 ignited a rally that sent the price of Bitcoin (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">BTC</a>) to <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-metrics-align-to-project-further-upside-for-btc" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">new all-time highs</a>.
Several indicators suggest the current rally could be sustained and is <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-all-time-high-at-76-8-k-is-just-the-beginning-according-to-data" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">only just beginning</a>. The factors include an additional $1.1 billion in open interest on Bitcoin futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the expectation of lower interest rates, and <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/blackrock-clocks-1-billion-bitcoin-etf-inflows-btc-price-new-highs" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">strong inflows into Bitcoin ETFs</a>.
On Nov. 6, BlackRock's IBIT Bitcoin ETF experienced its <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/blackrock-bitcoin-etf-sees-biggest-volume-day-ever-4-1-billion-traded" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">highest volume day on record</a> — with 4.1 billion in trading volume — following the victory of the pro-crypto Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump.
Recent Stablecoin exchange inflows — which investors use as a proxy to gauge market interest — are another signal that traders expect further price appreciation.

The recent rally also saw a change in investor sentiment toward Ethereum, as the price of Ether (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">ETH</a>) <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ether-3-2k-breakout-eth-etf-inflows-positive-post-election" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">broke above the $3,000 level</a>, and inflows into Ethereum ETFs turned positive, following months of disappointing price action.
