Cryptocurrency exchange Binance exceeds $100 trillion in trading volume, solidifying its position as a leading player in a market experiencing a notable slowdown.
In the dynamic world of cryptocurrency, Binance has emerged as the clear leader, handling trading volumes that far surpass those of its competitors. The exchange recorded an astonishing $8.39 trillion in trading volume in early 2025 alone, representing over a third (36.5%) of the global market[1].
Binance's dominance is rooted in its massive trading volume, high liquidity, and market share. In Q1 2025, Binance's spot trading volume was approximately eight times larger than Coinbase's, securing a market share near 40% consistently[1][2][3]. This large liquidity attracts more traders, reinforcing Binance's position as the primary gateway for digital asset trading globally.
The exchange has maintained its leading position throughout 2025, holding steady at close to 40% market share even as total market volumes fluctuate or decline[2][3][4]. Binance's wide suite of services, international presence, and broad cryptocurrency offerings underpin its ability to sustain and grow its market share.
Binance's growth has been consistent across various aspects. In Q1 2025, the exchange's spot market share for Bitcoin increased from 33% to 49%, and for altcoins, it rose from 38% to 44%[1]. The average Bitcoin deposit on Binance rose from 0.36 BTC to 1.65 BTC, and the average USDT deposit jumped from $19.6K to $230K[5].
Binance's institutional user base also experienced significant growth, expanding by 97% in 2024[6]. The exchange prevented $4.2B in fraud-related losses in the same year[7].
One key factor behind Binance's success is its ability to attract users during turbulent times. When a peer exchange suffered a $1.4B hack in February 2025, users rushed to Binance[8]. The exchange also became the first platform to exceed $100 trillion in lifetime trading volume[9].
Despite market fluctuations, Binance remains the constant in every market phase, whether during bull runs, black swans, or bear lulls. The exchange's resilience is further demonstrated by the $1B SAFU fund, an emergency buffer for Binance users[10].
In April 2025, Binance boasted over 270M+ users[11]. The exchange also received a significant investment of $2B in cryptocurrency from MGX[12]. With such impressive numbers and continuous growth, Binance shows no signs of relinquishing its dominant position in the cryptocurrency exchange ecosystem.
