Found an interesting article in which one guy did some datamining on some popular exchanges and their volumes:

Apparently a few of these giants are falsifying their volumes. Maybe because a higher market cap would make people think it's a more trustworthy exchange? I don't know if it's really worth going through all of that effort.
Would this have a major effect on the prices? I know we used to see huge differences in prices in the past, but now you won't see much more than a few percent here and there between exchanges.

Yes, I also noticed that some exchanges add volumes. But I thought it was the admin tokens pay them for it
