The market share of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, and its U.S. affiliate have shrank this year, as they battle an onslaught of regulatory crackdowns.
Binance had begun to cede market share in March after its move to end zero-fees transactions for some trading pairs, said Dessislava Aubert, an analyst at Kaiko. Binance.US, the purportedly independent partner of Binance, has seen its U.S. market share slump to 0.9 per cent on June 26 from over 22 per cent in April after the exchange gave its customers a deadline of June 13 to withdraw their dollar funds as the SEC asked a court to freeze its assets.
