Crypto Exchanges Market Share Declines in June
According to CCData’s monthly exchange report, the combined spot and derivatives trading volume on centralized exchanges (CEXs) rose by 14.2% in June to $2.71 trillion. However, this growth was accompanied by a decline in market share for major crypto exchanges such as Binance, Binance.US and Coinbase.
The SEC lawsuit against Binance on June 5th caused a spike in withdrawals, resulting in a 1.40% decrease in its market share to 41.6%. Binance.US and Coinbase saw more modest drops of 0.86% and 0.08% respectively.
The filing of BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF also contributed to the market’s positive sentiment, with spot trading activity increasing by 16.4% to $575 billion. Despite this, the April-June period still saw the lowest trading volumes since 2019.
