If I use 1 million dollars to make 1000 trades in and out of btc in a day that's a billion dollars of volume but maybe a couple of million in market depth could make that stable to enable those trades and a couple mill more could crash it.

There's little evidence of large volumes of wash trading specifically on BTC though, and it's pretty easy to trace.
