As trading volume on centralized exchanges declined 46% in 2022, Binance remained the leader with a 66.7% market share in December, compared with 48.7% to start the year, according to a report from CryptoCompare.
The jump in market dominance came even as spot trading volume on Binance tumbled 45.3% during the year to $5.29 trillion.

Among the 11 exchanges tracked, Binance and Bybit were the only ones that saw their market shares increase steadily in each quarter of 2022, the report said.
In second place for market share in December was Coinbase (COIN) at 8.2%, versus 10.1% at the start of the year. And behind Coinbase was OKX, which saw its market share in December at 5.9%, versus 10.7% at the beginning of 2022.
“One of the biggest signals showing the lack of participation is the drop in volatility and liquidity in the market,” the report stated. “On October 22, the annualized 30-day volatility of BTC dropped to 26.6% – the lowest figure since July 2020, reflecting the risk averse sentiment in the market.”

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch
When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
- Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
- Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
- Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
