<h2>2018.10</h2>
<p>We had three growth calls this month where <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=4233784" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/flix1">@flix1</a> moderated one of them.</p>
<p>October was a crazy month for the Bisq network. Not only will we see our highest monthly volume ever (<strong>Currently 6.6M USD</strong>) we also had our highest daily peak on 28th of October as well (<strong>110.95 BTC, 710K USD</strong>)<br>

<p>Although we saw great activitiy in our major markets, this exponential growth was mainly because of the BTC/XMR market. Monero and Bisq have similar values so it is a good match in general, but we don't know exactly why it is spiking right now in that way. Might be that we reached a certain tipping point in offers available (thanks to KYC requirements everywhere) to leverage network effects in a big way. Let's see if this growth will continue next month and if we can push other markets to this point as well.</p>
