Binance gets left behind as rivals speed ahead in the spot market!
Binance, the top dog in crypto trading volumes, is losing its grip as its market share drops to 40% in 2023 from 62% just a year ago.
A study by 0xScope points to Binance's listing strategy as a possible cause, with most coins taking a hit after joining the exchange.
Meanwhile, Upbit, a South Korean exchange, tripled its share to 15.3% in the same period.
Considering all crypto trading, Binance still leads with 51.2% in October 2023, but that's down from 54.6% a year earlier, indicating rivals like OKX are gaining ground.
- The rise of exchanges like Bybit, Bitget, and MEXC Global, which 0xScope dubbed " second-tier, " is shaking things up. With a 42.3% market share, they challenge Binance and OKX.
Huobi and others are now "third-tier" players, highlighting the evolving and competitive crypto trading landscape.
It's a clear reminder of how market dynamics and strategic decisions can flip the script.
Key Takeaways:
- š¬ Binance's once-mighty spot trading throne has taken a serious tumble.
- š¤ Upbit's epic market share surge screams out how wild and ferocious the spot trading arena can be!
