Crypto Exchange Trading Volumes Continued to Trend Up in August

Global spot market volumes on major exchanges including Binance and Coinbase reached $1.2 trillion in August, a 6.6% increase from $1.12 trillion in July.

Binance maintained its dominance in the market by taking the largest share with a trading volume of $448.45 billion in August.

The bullish trend was particularly strong among U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchanges, with monthly trading volumes on exchanges serving North American customers rising to $166.84 billion in August, a significant 21.6% increase from $137.17 billion in July.

Crypto.com emerged as the leading exchange in North America with its trading volume rising to $95.77 billion in August, further solidifying its dominance in the region.

The August data reflects a broader recovery in trading volumes on central exchanges over the summer, reversing a decline that sent volumes to multi-month lows in June.

In 2024, exchange trading volumes peaked at $2.48 trillion in March, coinciding with Bitcoin reaching an all-time high above $73,000.

Bitcoin continues to dominate trading activity, with its daily trading volume significantly outpacing that of Ether. The 7-day moving average for daily Bitcoin trading volume across all major exchanges is $10.27 billion, while for Ethereum, the figure is $6.52 billion.

This continuous increase in trading volumes highlights the ongoing interest and activity in the cryptocurrency market, which goes through periods of volatility and growth.
