Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, is pulling even further ahead of its rivals in the crypto spot trading arena.
According to new data from The Block, Binance has captured a commanding 41.1% share of all global spot trading volume in June 2025, and the month is far from over. The volumes include trading of all cryptocurrencies listed on each platform.

Binance widens market share gap
The monthly spot market volume data across cryptocurrency exchanges shows that Binance has done over $262.37 billion in June so far, further cementing its leadership position among exchanges.
Its closest competitor, HTX (formerly known as Huobi), isn’t even close, with over $58.8 billion in volume so far in June. In May 2025, Binance continued its domineering position held all year, doing over $551.2 billion in volume for the month.
HTX came fourth, with Bybit and Bitget making up the other top spots in May, with over $107.06 billion in volume. Bybit did over $110.32 billion, and Bitget came in third with over $107.45 billion.
Coinbase, the largest U.S.-based crypto exchange, has processed $33.4 billion in monthly spot market volume in June so far, and the platform did over $84.56 billion in May 2025.
A combined 34 other exchanges have done $189.78 billion in June alone, while this same group did $508.87 billion in May 2025. In many ways, this isn’t new. Binance has dominated crypto trading for years, especially after fending off waves of exchange collapses and regulatory clampdowns in 2022 and 2023.
The platform hit its highest monthly spot trading volume in May 2021, recording over $1.64 trillion. The closest it has come to those highs was in March 2024, when the exchange did over $1.13 trillion in volume.
Binance keeps winning
Analysts point to a blend of product, pricing, and scale as the key ingredients behind Binance’s continued dominance.
Binance has long championed aggressive promotions, including zero-fee trading for select Bitcoin and stablecoin pairs, drawing high-frequency traders and institutional desk flows alike.
Second is liquidity, as the exchange has over 1,900 active spot pairs, Binance offers deep books, tighter spreads, and minimal slippage even during volatile periods. This makes it an attractive venue not just for whales, but also for retail traders looking for efficient execution.
Thirdly, Binance continues to invest in global coverage. Fiat on-ramps are available in over 70 jurisdictions. Support is multilingual. And as of 2025, the exchange claims to run multiple regional data centers to optimize latency for traders across continents.
Combined, these elements create a kind of network effect that is increasingly hard for smaller exchanges to replicate.
Rising competition, but still distant
While Binance’s lead has widened, some of its challengers are still gaining ground. HTX has been a constant presence in the scene.
Other platforms like ByBit and Bitget saw double-digit spot volume increases in Q1 2025, albeit from smaller bases. Coinbase, despite lagging in global volume, remains dominant in the U.S and North America. and has secured key licenses in Europe.
Even so, the volume gap remains massive. Unless there’s a major shakeup, through regulation, security failures, or black swan events, Binance appears likely to retain its throne.
