In the grand cosmic scheme of things, 2025 was the year Binance decided to flex its digital muscles and establish itself as the king of the cryptocurrency spot trading jungle.
After CryptoQuant did the math (because let’s face it, no one else wants to), they found that Binance was sitting pretty with a spot trading volume that would make Scrooge McDuck blush—$1.9 trillion. That’s a lot of gold coins in the vault, folks.
Binance’s Trading Volume: A Space Odyssey
According to the folks at CryptoQuant, Binance controls over 43% of the spot trading universe, which is like saying they own more than three Earths compared to Crypto.com’s mere moon. And if that wasn’t enough, Binance’s volume is so big it surpasses the combined volume of the next five exchanges, making them look like they’re playing in a sandbox.
Higher trading volume means better liquidity, which is like having a superhighway for your crypto transactions instead of a bumpy dirt road. Traders love it because it’s like driving a Lamborghini on the Autobahn.
Despite the hopes and dreams of exchanges with strong ties to US institutions (like Coinbase), Binance’s global domination and liquidity have made it the 800-pound gorilla of spot trading in 2025. Take that, Wall Street.
Remember when Binance’s market share took a dive in 2024? Yeah, we all thought it was curtains for the big B. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, they’ve come back with a vengeance. Regulatory pressure? Pfft, just a minor inconvenience.
Binance and the SEC: A Dance of Delay
In a move that surprised exactly no one, Binance and the SEC decided to hit the pause button on their legal tango. They asked for a 60-day timeout, presumably to find a way to make this whole thing go away without too much of a mess.
The legal battle, which started in 2023, is like a soap opera with more drama than a high school prom. Allegations of securities law violations, a Crypto Task Force, and a shift in the regulatory landscape after Gary Gensler’s exit—it’s all very exciting.
And let’s not forget President Trump’s executive order that promotes crypto-friendly policies. Suddenly, the crypto world is like a playground where everyone’s invited to play, and the SEC is the teacher trying to keep order. Good luck with that.
