According to a report by TokenInsight, US-licensed crypto exchanges, including Coinbase, Kraken, and Binance.US, lost market share in 2023 Q1. The report showed that the top 15 exchanges recorded a total volume of $10.8 trillion, a 40% increase compared to 2022 Q4. However, US-based crypto exchanges failed to capitalize on the surge, with trading volumes dropping. Meanwhile, trading volume on crypto exchanges outside the US is rising due to increased regulatory crackdown against crypto in the US. Crypto companies such as Coinbase and Kraken have hinted at the possibility of moving offshore due to a lack of regulatory clarity. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire blames the US crypto crackdown for USDC losing market share, with investors pushing to "de-risk out of the US" amid regulatory uncertainty and banking crisis.
