There's that Stamp bidwall again. LOL
This time it barely lasted seconds.
It is most certainly a strange $1+m being moved up and down. My theory is that if the SEC is planning on accepting the ETF, they would be buying Bitcoin up to the approval itself.
A week ago I was speculating they might be buying OTC Bitcoins on itBit, and that might be the reason it suddenly took over as volume leader during a pump. Its OTC market only deals in trades of over 100 bitcoins, and it's more regulated than most exchanges, which would suit the twins.

I noticed bitcoinity showed itBit as the USD volume leader during the pump, although its dropped to third place now. Bitcoin.com claims itBit makes its OTC trades publicly view-able, so I suspect bitcoinity includes its OTC trades in the volume calculations.
Was the fact itBit suddenly took over as volume leader due to somebody buying OTC coins for the ETF?
