The Influence of Coronavirus on Crypto Traffic in Russia

Cryptocurrencies and coronavirus pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic changed the lives of many people across the globe. Some of them lost their jobs while others are working from home. Moreover, the tourism industry is struggling to cope with multiple challenges at the same time. Governments in rich countries as well as in developing countries are willing to do whatever they can to support the economy. Nevertheless, it won’t be easy to stabilize the situation in a short period of time. Meanwhile, crypto became more popular as can be seen from the study conducted by Qrator Labs.

For example, in the last week of March, traffic on crypto exchanges in Russia soared 5.56% compared with February averages. This cybersecurity firm linked this result with the growing interest in currency markets. Furthermore, Russia’s traffic on foreign exchange markets rose by around 3%.

Notably, interest in crypto coincided with Russia’s first non-working week, Russian President Vladimir Putin extended the country’s nationwide ā€œnon-working weekā€ until April 30.
