BitMEX, the former kingpin of the futures market, has been regulated to 3rd position after a steady rise in futures volume on Binance.
Per data from market analytics firm Skew, Binance's 24-hour volume stands at an enormous $2 billion—putting the futures newcomer in front of BitMEX by around $550 million.
But Binance isn't the only exchange leapfrogging BitMEX. OKex too managed to get in front of the previous leader, and Huboi and BitMEX are currently neck and neck.
It seems BitMEX never truly recovered after Bitcoin's massive price drop on March 12. On that day, $750 million in long positions were liquidated on the exchange. The high volumes also knocked the exchange offline for maintenance.
The Bitcoin (BTC) price crash has claimed its first victims. A total of $753 million was liquidated on Bitcoin futures trading exchange BitMEX in the last 24 hours, according to data site DataMish. The majority, some $646 million, came in the last hour. Holy liquidation. $665 million longs liquidated on BitMEX!!! pic.twitter.com/Em5hghkn2R — Ryan Selkis (@twobitidiot) March 12, 2020 On crypto exchange Bitfinex's futures platform, $38 million was liquidated. Crypto commentator Joseph Young n...
Since then, volumes have remained low, with the exchange reporting a lacklustre performance compared to its rivals.
A look at the aggregated daily volume across Bitcoin futures exchanges, reveals just how much of an impact the episode had.
Looking at aggregated volume from April 8, BitMEX reported $1.8 billion in daily trading volume, while Binance relayed a significantly larger $2.4 billion.
Nevertheless, studying exchange open interest tells a different story. Based on Skew data, OKex and BitMEX are head and shoulders in front when it comes to active contracts. These are contracts that are yet to be fulfilled.
OKex takes a slight lead, citing $630 million in open interest, while BitMEX reports $570 million.
Despite a shake-up of the market share, March was a record-breaking month for crypto exchanges, with volume reaching an all-time high of $75.9 billion between March 12-13.
Crypto exchanges have also seen a large increase in the number of new signups since the coronavirus lockdown started. Five exchanges told Decrypt they saw surges in people looking to trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies since the start of March.
But several class-action lawsuits filed against some of the top crypto exchanges probably dampened the mood.
Franklin Templeton Digital Assets said on Tuesday that it’s rolling out a new feature for its Benji platform that aims to improve upon existing standards for calculating and distributing yield via blockchain. The patent-pending feature, dubbed “intraday yield,” will track investors’ holdings of tokenized securities down to the second, allowing them to earn yield on assets that are held for only part of a given day, the 78-year-old bank said in a statement on Tuesday. This yield is calculated and...
KULR Technology Group is aiming to raise $300 million to bolster its Bitcoin treasury, the firm revealed Monday in a filing with U.S. federal regulators—the latest sign a growing number of public and private companies are embracing the world’s oldest cryptocurrency. California-based KULR, which has pivoted to become a self-described "Bitcoin-First" company, plans to raise $300 million by selling its common stock shares in an at-the-market offering, with assistance from Cantor Fitzgerald. It will...
The Blockchain Group is raising €300 ($342 million) to add Bitcoin to its BTC holding, according to its statement on Monday—a move that aligns the Paris-based Bitcoin Treasury with a growing number of public companies emulating software firm Strategy’s Bitcoin-based playbook. The company intends to raise the funds through an “at-the-market”-type offering, in partnership with French asset manager TOBAM. Under the offering, TOBAM will acquire shares directly from The Blockchain Group on a daily b...
