Binance Suffers 16% Drop in Market Share Amid Banking Crisis and CFTC Lawsuit: Kaiko

Cointime Official

In a recent report released by Kaiko, the ongoing banking crisis and regulatory crackdown have significantly impacted the cryptocurrency market structure, causing shifts in the dynamics among the world's largest exchanges. Binance, the leading exchange with a 54% dominance, has experienced a 16% loss in market share of trade volume over the past two weeks.

The decline follows a lawsuit by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Binance's decision to terminate its zero-fee trading program. Despite these setbacks, Binance continues to maintain its position as the largest exchange globally. However, the uncertain market conditions and increasing regulatory scrutiny may further affect the exchange's standing in the future.

The report also highlights the impact of an uncertain regulatory outlook on major crypto exchanges. Bittrex has closed its U.S. operations, while Coinbase, known for its strong regulatory efforts, received a Wells Notice and saw its market share drop from 60% to 49% in Q1.

 Meanwhile, the trade volume soared to 4-month highs in mid-March, driven by a broader market rally. Volumes, however, started to decline sharply after Binance ended its zero-fee program.

  • Thai regulator to crack down on deceptive cryptocurrency ads

    Cryptocurrency advertisements that contain false, exaggerated, distorted, concealed, or misleading information violate Thai regulations.

For example, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued 450 illegal cryptocurrency advertising alerts in 2023 alone. In addition, in November 2023, the Spanish National Securities Market Commission, the main securities market regulatory agency, condemned fraudulent cryptocurrency asset promotion activities on X and reiterated the company's obligation to comply with local laws. The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission reminded cryptocurrency exchanges to include appropriate warnings about investment risks and to avoid attracting new users through special promotions. He warned that violating the above guidelines would result in "legal punishment".

  • Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, suggested that Hong Kong refer to IPO to provide innovative financing models for Web3

    Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, wrote an article in the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po titled "Leading the Digital Economy by Adapting to the Web3 Trend". The article pointed out that developing Web3+ has both advantages and new challenges. The Hong Kong government has taken an important step in the direction of developing Web3 and the digital economy by formulating a short- to medium-term strategic development blueprint, ensuring that policies and resources are in place, and promoting the construction of Web3+ application scenarios. Focusing on Web3, establishing an international innovation financing platform can not only help Hong Kong leverage its traditional financial advantages, but also help it become a global digital technology center. It is suggested to refer to the mature mode of existing enterprises' IPOs in Hong Kong, provide an innovative financing model for Web3, and create a market trend and service competitive advantage to promote the development of the industry and attract upstream and downstream of the industry chain at home and abroad to gather in Hong Kong.
