Broader market trends, including a surge in <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> and Tether's <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/tether\/\">USDT<\/a> deposits, have also fueled the exchange's growth.<\/p>\n<p>Data from CryptoQuant reveals that the average Bitcoin deposit on exchanges climbed by 358% to 1.65 BTC in 2024 from 0.36 BTC in 2023. Similarly, average USDT deposits saw an extraordinary 1,073% rise from $19,600 to $230,000.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Binance achieved another significant milestone as it became the first centralized crypto exchange to surpass $100 trillion in lifetime trading volume.<\/p>\n<h2>Key factors to Binance's growth<\/h2>\n<p>The platform attributed its impressive numbers to its ability to attract institutional investors, boosted by developments like the approval of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/us-bitcoin-etfs-now-hold-1-million-bitcoin-worth-96-billion\/\">Bitcoin ETFs<\/a>. These ETFs have provided institutional players simplified access to crypto markets, driving higher inflows.<\/p>\n<p>The industry's growth has paralleled a rise in global digital asset adoption.
