According to the November 6 report by blockchain analytics firm 0xScope, Binance has maintained its position as the top centralized exchange, with a significant market share; however, its dominance has weakened over the past year, with a continuous decrease in trading volume, particularly in the last three months, experiencing a roughly 10% decrease overall in market share.

In October 2022, Binance commanded a robust market share of 54.6%, but the landscape shifted over the subsequent year, with its dominance gradually receding to approximately 45% after July 2023.

OKX closely trailed Binance, securing the second spot among all exchanges with a 16.1% share of total trading volume in the latest week (week of October 17, 2023), a notable increase from 10.5% a year ago.
