“Binance has had significant market share for quite some time already,” said Florian Giovannacci, head of trading at Covario, the Swiss based digital asset prime broker. “They are very reliable (technically), cover a large array of tokens and offer some of the best liquidity, which attracts volume.”
In March, the price of bitcoin reached a monthly high of $48,214, according to data from Messari. At press time, bitcoin was trading at around $38,900, down 19% since the March high.
The 30% dominance in March is just marginally below Binance’s record market share of 34% that was reached in November 2021.
Also in March, derivatives volumes increased after six straight months of decreased volumes. Derivative market activity increased by 4.6% to $2.74 trillion, attaining a market share of 62%, compared with the market share for spot volumes which was 37%.
This is still significantly lower than the all-time highs reached in May 2021. Derivative volumes reached a total of $9.99 trillion in May last year. The derivatives market share dominated 68% at the time.
Binance also led the derivative markets with 52% of total volumes in March. This was followed by OKX and Bybit.
