It's back to square one if you are holding a coin or token for long term and finally altcoin season comes and the token or coin surge in value but has no trading volume on exchange, all your efforts and pain while holding is total waste, do not hold tokens or coins that have no demands, real use cases are what makes them very demanding
This is more like a classic trick that they do back in the past years in new token in a certain exchanger you could easily to this low volume transactions so that the token is going to get a high price in the market but not really because you cannot sell the token if it doesn't have a great volume so it was just a fake market to make it look like the token market price is increasing.
