The top 8 largest platforms account for a whopping 91.7% of depth and 89.5% of volume.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Since 2021, Binance\u2019s market share of spot volume has increased from 38.3% to 64.3%.

When it comes to centralized exchange (CEX) liquidity, there is little decentralization.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Due to the anti-crypto regulatory agenda in the US, Kaiko says that altcoin liquidity has suffered, and has become very concentrated within three major exchanges: Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cKraken\u2019s altcoin liquidity has performed particularly well, making it a strong contender with Coinbase. Since August 2022, Kraken has not seen any drop in market depth for the top 30 altcoins, whereas Coinbase has lost ~$5 million in liquidity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1100px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/researchbackoffice.kaiko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/unnamed-25.png.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"595\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/research.kaiko.com\/insights\/the-crypto-liquidity-concentration-report\">Kaiko<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt\">Don&#8217;t Miss a Beat \u2013 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyhodl.com\/join-the-daily-hodl-email-list\/\">Subscribe<\/a> to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox <\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<br \/><em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt\">Check <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyhodl.com\/crypto-markets\/\">Price Action<\/a><\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<br \/><em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt\">Follow us on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheDailyHodl\">Twitter<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thedailyhodl\/\">Facebook<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/thedailyhodl\">Telegram<\/a><\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<br \/><em><span style=\"font-size: 13pt\">Surf <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyhodl.com\/daily-hodl-mix\">The Daily Hodl Mix<\/a><\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"hideinamp\">\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"maxbutton-4 maxbutton maxbutton-check-out-the-latest-headlines-bigger\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyhodl.com\/news\/\"><span class=\"mb-text\">Check Latest News Headlines<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&amp;nbsp<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyhodl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Get-Alerts-728x90.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"99\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.
