Binance trading volume drops by about 50% in April | coindesk JAPAN | Coindesk Japan

Spot trading volume on Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, fell 48% in April, according to CCData, amid a decline in industry-wide trading volumes.

Trading volume in April was $287 billion, the second lowest since 2021. Market share also fell to 46%.

Binance isn’t the only company to experience a drop in trading volume. Spot volume across centralized exchanges fell 40%, its lowest since December 2022. According to CCData, uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic conditions, including multiple bank failures in the United States and growing fears of a recession, has led to a decline in trading volumes.

That said, Binance’s position in terms of trading volume remains strong. Coinbase and OKX, the second- and third-placed by volume, account for only 5.60% and 5.39% of total spot volume, respectively.
