Binance Loses Market Share Amid Regulatory Pressure and Tougher Competition

Binance one of the biggest players in the cryptocurrency exchange industry has recently experienced a significant drop in its market share . This decline can be attributed to a combination of regulatory actions taken by authorities in New York and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as well as increased competition in the market . According to data from research provider CCData Binance’s market share has fallen by approximately 25 percent sliding from 57.5 percent to 43 percent.

New York Regulators and CFTC Investigations

In February regulators in New York put a halt to the issuance of BUSD Binance’s branded stablecoin. This stablecoin had been a significant contributor to the company’s monthly trading volume. As a result of this regulatory action Binance faced a decrease in liquidity on its platform putting additional pressure on the exchange. Shortly afterward the CFTC filed a lawsuit against Binance accusing the exchange of inflating its reported trading volume and profitability by accessing extensive information on its US customers. Binance has denied these allegations.
