Most people think @coinbase is top-2 or top-3 by volume.
It's actually #8.
Here are the 2025 CEX industry leaders:
- @binance - 39.2%
- @Bybit_Official - 8.1%
- @MEXC_Official - 7.8%
- @coinbase - 6.1%
Binance kept its dominance with 39.2% market share, despite the -0.5% drop in volume from 2024.
MEXC was the fastest-growing exchange in 2025, with a +90.9% increase from 2024 – this is mainly due to their zero-fee policy that attracts traders and retail users.
Bybit slowly recovered its dominance since the 2025 February hack to finish #2 with $1.5 trillion in annual volume. Their market share fell to 8.1% in March, but climbed back steadily through year-end.
Most exchanges (6 out of 10) grew volume in 2025, pushing the combined top 10 volume up 7.8% from 2024.
