From Cointelegraph

South Korea is the one country which is driving increased trading volumes of BCH. Bithumb, Coinone and Korbit account for $1.7 bln out of the $3.1 bln (55 percent of total volume) BCH trading volumes.The increase in the USD price of BCH (From $300 a week back to over $800 currently) has also resulted in the USD value of BCH trades going up.
Unlike other countries where Bitcoin Cash is traded primarily against Bitcoin, in Korea BCH is primarily traded against the Korean Won.
South Korean exchanges were amongst the earliest to announce support for BCH trading and did so even before the actual hard fork and creation of Bitcoin Cash.
Bitcoin Cash contributes to Bitcoin volumes as well
Given that BCH is relatively new and fiat-BCH trading is not that well established, most people who want to buy BCH use BTC to buy it.Hence the demand for BCH results in higher BTC volumes as well.
Out of the $2.6 bln BTC trading volumes, approximately 30 percent is contributed by BTC-BCH trading at various exchanges (Bittrex, Poloniex, Bitfinex, Huobi, HitBTC, etc.).
When the BCH-Fiat market develops further, it could result in BTC trading volumes declining as well.
