CEXs Spot Trading Volume Rebounds Amid Regulatory Challenges

The regulatory pressure faced by CEXs, including giants like Coinbase and Binance, from agencies such as the SEC and CFTC during Q3 led to a significant drop in CEXs spot trading volume, plummeting to $1.19 trillion, nearly four times lower than the Q2 2021 peak.

Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, faced a tough Q4 as its spot market share declined steadily throughout the year. December figures revealed a diminished market share of just 30.1%, down from the 55% recorded at the beginning of 2023.

The regulatory scrutiny, which extended to Binance’s founder and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, resulted in a staggering 70% decrease in monthly spot volumes from $474 billion in January to $114 billion in September.

However, despite these challenges, the crypto market witnessed a positive turn, driven by Bitcoin‘s recovery to 19-month highs in November. Retail investors eagerly re-engaged in cryptocurrency trading, leading to a surge in CEXs spot trading volume, with increases of up to 100%.

Notable performers in November included OKX, with a 93% surge to $60.3 billion, and KuCoin, experiencing a 109% increase to $27.5 billion, as reported by Finance Magnates.
