While July gave markets around the world a breather, August reestablished 2022&rsquo;s choppy financial conditions.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) declined by 4.08% in August, its fifth month of decline in 2022. The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) mirrored this downward trend, showing monthly decreases of 4.59% and 3.96%, respectively, in August.
Given the possibility &mdash; some think <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/interest-rate">probability</a> &mdash; that the Federal Reserve will hike rates yet again in September, and the fact that global economies are <a href="https://blogs.imf.org/2022/07/26/global-economic-growth-slows-amid-gloomy-and-more-uncertain-outlook/#:~:text=Inflation%20this%20year%20is%20anticipated,projected%20to%20remain%20elevated%20longer.">experiencing</a> growing inflationary pressures, investor sentiment appears to have altered course in August when compared to July. While some warn that the U.S. may be heading into a <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/long-moderate-and-painful-what-next-us-recession-may-look-like-1.1787303">prolonged</a> recession, others report that recent macroeconomic data &mdash; like a 3.7% <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/economy-politics/calendar">unemployment</a> rate &mdash; do not support this argument.
Even as ambiguity surrounds the market&rsquo;s future movements, OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) regulated markets experienced a slight increase in total monthly volume in August, recording $39.3 billion in trades for the month compared to $37.3 billion in July. Additionally, two Ethereum-based securities found themselves in improved positions on the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most Active list.&nbsp;
Finally, a number of new securities have emerged on the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market, which could potentially be of interest to investors despite the relatively bearish sentiment experienced throughout the month and year so far. Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained a significant international presence in August, with over half of the top most-traded securities across both markets being composed of international operators.
<h3>A Dive Into The OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most-Active List</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $7 billion in trades in August, a figure that has been relatively unchanged since July.&nbsp;
Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>) rose to the top of OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s most-active list, while steadfast performers Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) slotted in as the second and third most-traded securities.&nbsp;
Additionally, OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in August, welcoming Imperial Brands PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/imbby#OTCQX">IMBBY</a>), a multinational tobacco company, and Computer Services Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/csvi#OTCQX">CSVI</a>). The two displace Danone S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) and Zurich Insurance Group Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zurvy#OTCQX">ZURVY</a>), two usuals in the OTCQX&rsquo;s Top 10 Most Active list.
Despite poor market conditions around the globe, the OTCQX Best Market has managed to maintain its hold on a number of industries, as demonstrated by the constituents of its Most Active list. Below are some of the companies on the list along with their relevant specialties:&nbsp;

</ul>
Of the 30 securities on the Most Active list, 22 were international operators. Some of these were new faces like the United Kingdom&rsquo;s Imperial Brands and Canada&rsquo;s Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/recaf#OTCQX">RECAF</a>), while some regulars like Germany&rsquo;s Adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) and the United Kingdom&rsquo;s Anglo American PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ngloy#OTCQX">NGLOY</a>) were also present.

</ul>
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Experiences A Reshuffle In August</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $601 million in trades in August, an increase from July&rsquo;s $463 million figure.
Like the OTCQX Best Market, the OTCQB Venture Market&rsquo;s Top 10 Most Active list saw two new entries. Specifically, American Lithium Corp.

(OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tomdf#OTCQB">TOMDF</a>) made their way into the top 10.
Similar to July, the OTCQB Venture Market witnessed a number of novelties in August. In addition to two new companies on the Top 10 Most Active list, the second, third and fourth most-active securities also changed. Computer memory subsystems specialist Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>), mortgage financiers Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac) (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>), and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fnma#OTCQB">FNMA</a>) made way for Stemtech Corp.

(OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwbo#OTCQB">NWBO</a>) and American Battery Technology Co.

Thirteen international securities landed a spot on the OTCQB Venture Market&rsquo;s Most Active list. Of these, four are Australian, six are Canadian, one is Israeli, one is South African and one is from Hong Kong.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Reflecting the expected conditions of a bear market, many of the world&rsquo;s indices saw a decrease in price throughout June.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY), for example, declined 8.26% in June, a very similar decline to the one seen in April. The SPY&rsquo;s maximum decline since its peak in January is 24%, falling within the standard definition of a bear market.&nbsp;
The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) displayed similar weakness, showing declines of 8.7% and 6.78%, respectively, in June.
Despite the decline in market indices and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) regulated markets experienced a slight increase in total monthly dollar volume, recording $45.2 billion in June compared to $44.5 billion in May. Additionally, the operator saw former cryptocurrency and mortgage financiers return to the helm of the Most Actively Traded Securities list on two of its regulated markets.&nbsp;
Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained a significant international presence, with over half of the top most-traded securities across both markets composed of international operators.
<h3>Crypto Reclaims The Helm Of The OTCQX Best Market Most-Active Securities&nbsp;</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $9 billion in trading volume in June, a decrease from May&rsquo;s $11 billion.&nbsp;
Despite the decrease in volume, former leaders have begun to reclaim their place among the Most Active Securities list. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>), for example, has reclaimed its spot as the most-traded security on the OTCQX Best Market, followed by May&rsquo;s leader Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>).&nbsp;
Additionally, the OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in June, welcoming&nbsp;
Experian PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>) and Tesco PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tscdy#OTCQX">TSCDY</a>) in place of AXA SA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axahy#OTCQX">AXAHY</a>) and Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Fund (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sruuf#OTCQX">SRUUF</a>).
International operators, once again, maintained a strong presence on OTCQX, comprising 23 of the top 30 securities, down from 24 in May. France&rsquo;s BNP Paribas SA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) and Germany&rsquo;s Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>) and adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) were again on the OTCQX top 10 most-active securities, while Mexico&rsquo;s Wal-Mart De Mexico S.A.B. de C.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wmmvy#OTCQX">WMMVY</a>) and Australia&rsquo;s Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fsugy#OTCQX">FSUGY</a>) made it among June&rsquo;s top 30 most-active securities.
Other notable movers:
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) claimed fourth place on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 160% change in trading volume from last month.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Welcomes Back Mortgage Financiers</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $603 million in trading volume in June, a decline from May&rsquo;s $896 million figure.
June introduced two new entities to the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 10 Most-Traded Securities list. Biotech operator CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cydy#OTCQB">CYDY</a>) and aerospace and defense company Applied Energetics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aerg#OTCQB">AERG</a>) represent the new faces on the list.
Similar to May, the OTCQB Venture Market witnessed a number of novelties in June. In addition to two new companies, all three of the top most-traded securities in the market changed. Mortgage financiers Fannie Mae (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fnma#OTCQB">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) reclaimed their positions as the first- and third-most traded securities and Lake Resources (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/llkkf#OTCQB">LLKKF</a>) claimed its spot as the second most-traded security.
All three former &ldquo;Most Active Top 3s&rdquo; &ndash; Northwest Biotherapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwbo#OTCQB">NWBO</a>), Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>) and Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>) &ndash; remain on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Venture Market Top 10 Most Active Securities list, potentially hinting at sustained investor interest.
Twelve international securities landed a spot among the top 30 most-traded securities. Of these 12 securities, eight are Canadian, two are Australian, one is English, and one is from Hong Kong.&nbsp;
Other notable movers:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Wiki Soft Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wsft#OTCQB">WSFT</a>) climbed to 12th place in the most-active group and recorded a $6.6 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Sharing Economy International Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/seii#OTCQB">SEII</a>) experienced a $3.7 million increase in trading volume compared to May, climbing to 19th place on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 30.&nbsp;</li>

Mortgage Financiers & Crypto Securities Reclaim Their Spots As Most Actively Traded Securities On OTC Markets In June

Reflecting the world&rsquo;s uncertainty about the U.S. economy, the market&rsquo;s major indices saw incredible volatility in May.&nbsp;
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track major indices tell this story with relative clarity. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY), for example, reached a high of $429.66 and hit a low of $380.54 in May before closing at $412.93. The Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) displayed similar erratic behavior.&nbsp;
Despite the volatility of the market, OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>)&rsquo;s regulated markets&nbsp; experienced a steady increase in total monthly dollar volume, recording $44.5 billion in May compared to $40.6 billion in April. Additionally, the operator saw a former OTCQB Venture Market security springboard onto the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s List of 10 Most Active Securities in the same month it <a href="https://financialpost.com/globe-newswire/otc-markets-group-welcomes-sprott-physical-uranium-trust-to-otcqx">upgraded</a> from the OTCQB. .&nbsp;
Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained significant international presence, recording a total of 39 international operators among the top most-traded securities in each market.&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQX Best Market Most-Active Securities Welcomes New Faces</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $11 billion in trading volume in May, an increase from April&rsquo;s $10.5 billion figure.&nbsp;
Retaining their spots as first-, second- and third-most traded securities on the OTCQX Best Market are&nbsp; Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>).&nbsp;
The OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in May, welcoming AXA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axahy#OTCQX">AXAHY</a>), Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) and OTCQB graduate Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Fund (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sruuf#OTCQX">SRUUF</a>). Having been the most-traded security on the OTCQB Venture Market last month, Sprott was the ninth most-traded security on the OTCQX just one month later.
International operators, once again, maintain a strong presence on OTCQX composing 24 of the top 30 securities, up from 21 in April. France&rsquo;s BNP Paribas S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) and Germany&rsquo;s Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>) and adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) were again on the OTCQX top 10 most-active securities, while Norway&rsquo;s Norsk Hydro ASA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nhydy#OTCQX">NHYDY</a>) and Ireland&rsquo;s Experian plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>) made it among May&rsquo;s top 30 most-active securities.
Other notable movers:
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Royal DSM NV (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rdsmy#OTCQX">RDSMY</a>) claimed 15th place on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 160% change in trading volume from last month.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Repsol S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/repyy#OTCQX">REPYY</a>) claimed 25th place on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 111% change in trading volume from last month.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Welcomes A New Leading Company As Sprott Graduates To The OTCQX</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $896 million in trading volume in May, a decline from April&rsquo;s $1.1 billion figure.&nbsp;
May introduced three new entities to the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 10 Most-Traded Securities list. Government services operator Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac) (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) and portfolio management company Phoenix Rising Co. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/prcx#OTCQB">PRCX</a>) represent the new faces on the block.
Newness seemed almost a theme in the OTCQB Venture Market in May. In addition to three new faces, all three of the top most-traded securities in the market changed with Northwest Biotherapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwbo#OTCQB">NWBO</a>), Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>) and Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>) taking positions as first, second and third most traded, respectively.
Fifteen international securities landed a spot among the top 30 most-traded securities. Of these 15 securities, nine are Canadian, three are Australian, one is English, one is South African and one is Swiss.&nbsp;
Other notable movers:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Crimson Wine Group Ltd. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cwgl#OTCQB">CWGL</a>) climbed to 24th place in the most-active group and recorded a $2.3 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Valour Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/deftf#OTCQB">DEFTF</a>) &mdash; formerly DeFi Technologies &mdash; experienced a $1.8 million increase in trading volume compared to March, climbing to 28th place on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 30.&nbsp;</li>

The OTC Markets' Most-Active Securities Embrace International Operators As Volatility Envelops Markets In May

Northwest Biotherapeutics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NWBO#OTC">NWBO</a>) has outperformed the market over the past 5 years by 42.99% on an annualized basis producing an average annual return of 54.57%. Currently, Northwest Biotherapeutics has a market capitalization of $1.42 billion. 
Buying $1000 In NWBO: If an investor had bought $1000 of NWBO stock 5 years ago, it would be worth $8,251.56 today based on a price of $1.48 for NWBO at the time of writing.
<h3>Northwest Biotherapeutics's Performance Over Last 5 Years</h3>

Finally -- what's the point of all this? The key insight to take from this article is to note how much of a difference compounded returns can make in your cash growth over a period of time.
This article was generated by Benzinga's automated content engine and reviewed by an editor.

If You Invested $1000 In Northwest Biotherapeutics 5 Years Ago, Here's How Much You Would Have Today

The following post was written and/or published as a collaboration between Benzinga&rsquo;s in-house sponsored content team and a financial partner of Benzinga.
One of the ways we gauge market sentiment is by looking at rotation&mdash;which areas of the market, traders and investors are most bullish or bearish on, and watching how those trends change over time.&nbsp;
We can track this by looking at price (the upward or downward pressure on an asset) as well as by volume (where the most attention is being paid).&nbsp;
According to volume data from OTC Markets, traders rotated heavily into well-established multi-national companies last month like BNP Paribas (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>), Infineon Technologies (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>) and Heineken (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/heiny#OTCQX">HEINY</a>). This flies in direct contrast with August, when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/20/09/17516451/traders-piled-into-cannabis-crypto-and-gold-securities-on-otc-markets-in-august">traders piled into emerging industries like cannabis and crypto</a>.&nbsp;
Dollar trading volume in securities from those three firms increased an average of 193% month-over-month from August to September. Shares of Wal-Mart De Mexico S.A.B. de C.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wmmvy#OTCQX">WMMVY</a>) were also heavily traded, with nearly one-fifth of the total dollar volume for 2020 occurring last month.&nbsp;
On the other hand, several companies that were most actively traded in August&mdash;including names like Trulieve Cannabis Corporation (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcnnf#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>), Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/curlf#OTCQX">CURLF</a>), Green Thumb Industries Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gtbif#OTCQX">GTBIF</a>) and Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/plnhf#OTCQX">PLNHF</a>)&mdash;all saw their dollar volume decline month-over-month in September. Even the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>), which remained the most actively traded security on the OTCQX Market in September, experienced a monthly decline in dollar volume.
Overall, only three of September&rsquo;s 10 most actively traded securities on the OTCQX Market (GBTC, Trulieve, and the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>)) could be classified as &ldquo;emerging.&rdquo; In August, five cannabis companies made the list. This rotation could indicate that traders were looking for exposure in more developed industries like energy, consumer staples, and healthcare.&nbsp;

Traders Have Rotated Into Big Multinational Companies On OTC Markets

The massive rally in stocks around the globe in April and May ended up marking the best <a href="https://lplresearch.com/2020/06/04/best-50-day-rally-ever/">50-day rally for stocks in history</a>.
On the OTC Markets, trading activity in May reflected that rally, as the securities that saw the biggest monthly increases in volume between April and May show how traders were paying closest attention to companies highly exposed to the volatility.
With volatility in the overall market remaining elevated, a number of cannabis securities on the OTCQX Market experienced dramatic volume increases in May. This is consistent with normal markets, as cannabis companies historically tend to trade at a higher beta than the overall market. Complicating matters is the fact that states classified dispensaries as essential businesses&mdash;thereby allowing them to stay open while stay-at-home orders were in place&mdash;though those orders forced many businesses to pivot to an e-commerce model anyway.
Regardless, trading activity on OTC Markets suggests traders were keyed in on the industry. Roughly $57.4 million worth of shares of Charlotte&#39;s Web Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cwbhf#OTCQX">CWBHF</a>) traded in May, a 127% increase from April. Likewise, dollar volume in Green Thumb Industries Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gtbif#OTCQX">GTBIF</a>) more than doubled in the month to roughly $66.5 million, while Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/curlf#OTCQX">CURLF</a>) saw a 77% increase to just under $70 million.
As traders and investors alike bet on the reopening of the global economy, it&rsquo;s no surprise that Air Canada (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acdvf#OTCQX">ACDVF</a>) experienced a 79% increase in dollar volume. Overall, the largest Canadian airline company was the 13th-most active security on the market in May.
Elsewhere, Brazilian car rental company Localiza Rent A Car SA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lzrfy#OTCQX">LZRFY</a>), the largest car rental service in Latin America, also experienced a massive volume increase, with just over $28 million worth of shares traded. Much of that volume came in a four-day span from May 19-22, during which roughly 3.8 million shares traded.
On the OTCQB Venture Market, dollar volume increased 23% in May. To give you an idea of how large a volume increase some of these securities experienced, the average month-over-month increase in dollar volume amongst the OTCQB&rsquo;s 30 most actively traded securities was 659% in May.
Below is a list of the top 10 most active securities on the OTCQX and OTCQB Markets during the month.
