<p>Looking at the Bitcoin Statistics summery from <a href="https://blockchain.info/stats" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Blockchain.info</a></p>

<p>there are Trading Volume and Transaction Volume listed.
I understand that transaction volume represents the amount of bitcoin used for transactions, eg. user sends bitcoins over to another user.</p>

<p>What about trade though? How is the value for trading value determined?</p>
