In 2025, Binance has firmly established itself as the leader in spot trading volume across cryptocurrency exchanges. A recent analysis from CryptoQuant reveals that the platform has maintained a commanding lead with an astonishing $1.9 trillion in spot trading volume.
2025 Sees Binance’s Spot Trading Volume Soar
According to CryptoQuant’s analysis, Binance currently controls well over 43% of the total spot volume, accounting for approximately $4.56 trillion. This remarkable figure is more than three times the volume of its closest competitor, Crypto.com, which commands just 12.12%. Notably, Binance’s trading volume exceeds the combined total of the next five exchanges, including major players like Coinbase, Bybit, and OKX.
Higher trading volumes are typically correlated with enhanced liquidity, which is vital for traders seeking smoother transactions, quicker entry and exit points, and tighter spreads. As such, Binance’s dominance contributes to a more efficient trading environment.
Despite earlier expectations that exchanges with robust ties to US institutions, such as Coinbase, might take the lead, Binance’s extensive global reach and liquidity have positioned it as the foremost entity in the spot trading landscape for 2025.
Back in September 2024, Binance’s market share had sunk to a four-year low, coinciding with increased regulatory scrutiny. However, the recent turnaround in their trading volume is noteworthy, reflecting resilience in the face of challenges.
Binance and SEC Request Court Delay
Earlier in February 2025, the SEC, Binance, and former CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao jointly requested a 60-day stay in their ongoing legal case, with the intention of facilitating an early resolution and conserving resources.
The legal proceedings, which began in 2023, arise from allegations that Binance and BAM Management (Binance US), along with CZ, violated securities laws. The court filing indicated that the recently created Crypto Task Force may assist in rectifying the matter.
This task force, established in January by SEC Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda, seeks to provide a clearer regulatory framework for the crypto sector. The call for regulatory clarity has been a longstanding plea from crypto firms, who prefer a structured approach over enforcement-driven measures.
Significantly, the landscape for crypto regulation has transformed following the departure of former SEC chair Gary Gensler. Several enforcement actions have been reversed after recent political changes, further contributing to a more favorable environment for the industry.
