Possible. But, why would they do that? Coinmarketcap is fighting for real data, they are excluding manipulating exchanges. Alledgedly.

When it comes to steem Coinmarketcap regularly excludes data from Bithumb, sometimes it takes them a day or two. CoinGecko doesn't even list them (for steem).

This time the data is not excluded yet. And a new, even more strange data is here:
37,160,583
Oct 10.

Can day-trading activity be so high?

Even more inconsistent is the fact that today coinmarketcap excluded the price but not the volume.
