No doubt more than 80% of the people will say their favourite exchange is Binance.
It’s all due to the way Binance has respected his traders.
Binance had also made trading easy and all thanks to it’s cool yet easy interface.
Now they are present in the market for more than many years, so definitely when a newbie wants to join any trading platform, they will go for Binance.
This is also for the reason for which binance has the highest trading activity then any other exchange.

They are the first exhange too that offers there own utility token to lower trading fees that gives a huge benefit to there user and also they are the one who introduced a bunch of giveaways and tournaments with huge rewards to encourage there users to trade since they are returning part of there profit to there user. They are the first exchange who cares a lot to there customers so they deserve the popularity they have right now. Other shit exchange like Binance has zero tolerance and consideration to reward there user which is the reason why they left behind by Binance despite they are the first exchange who got the spotlight.
I agree to this. The care of binance to make ease for their user are the one that separates them to the other exchange in the competition. They also have been the first on many features that they have. I don't know how but I have a friend that I haven't seen trading but somehow he have an account on binance and of course I ask why he have binance, he told me that he tried on earning money on crypto and from the tutorial he watched from youtube it is indicated that binance is the exchange they will be using but I guess he didn't learn to trade or give up trading easily maybe because of bear market? I really don't know but the point is Binance is easy to learn and to navigate. Content creators are using binance as their platform because it's much easier and user friendly than others and added to that is the reputation it has in crypto community.

I've been monitoring it for the last few weeks and its daily volume can reach $5 billion to $8 billion in a day. But what makes me confused is that bitcoin prices tend to be stable during that time. And it seems that there is only a pump and dump in the 1K usd difference for a day.

Everyone knows that Bitcoin price goes up and down. High volume means there might be someone accumulating and trying to hold an average price. Binance provides the best services to their traders, traders get enough liquidity to open and close trades. Bitcoin is not only in binance but in all crypto exchanges. So for the price of bitcoin to be determined it is not only dependent on binance.

It's true that bitcoin exchange is not just binance. But if we look back in 2017 maybe all bitcoin exchanges will follow the prices of bitstamp and bitfinex, at that time binance was still new and not as popular as it is now. But what is surprising is that in 1 year binance was able to shift the two largest exchanges mentioned above and now has surpassed it in terms of features, services, products, to daily volume. So now binance is the leader of the worldwide exchange and the price of bitcoin is in their hands.

It seems like Binance API is used by various copy trading platforms. Something I'm exploring now in a project for my personal portfolio. See thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/copy-trading-robo-investing-platforms-5415932

There is value in watching what successful traders are doing on Binance, but I'm not keen to execute my trades on the platform given KYC/AML bs

It is still the most popular exchange as of today, even for Filipinos like me. No matter if it’s spot, futures, P2P, etc., the trading volume was impressive and high. But of course, we cannot underestimate other exchanges though like OKX, KuCoin, Huobi, Gate and countless others.

For arbitraging purposes, these ones can be useful for potential profit minus the trading and withdrawal fees.

There are many options depending on your country and the amount of data you are willing to share. For example, Binance may be the best option if you can verify your identity, understand the fundamentals of trading, and have a sufficient balance. However, it is not the best option for order execution speed or no withdrawal limits. In general, all data is susceptible to manipulation unless there is an impartial third to accurately measure trading volumes.

I do not think there is too much of a reason to be confused about this, bitcoin is now a very big asset which can manage that kind of volume, in fact the higher the volume of the asset the harder it is to move, just take a look at shitcoins, their volume is very low and their volatility is quite high so it is natural that we are seeing the opposite effect on bitcoin, also its volume is that high because there are a lot of traders using leverage and this artificially increases the volume that we see in bitcoin every day.

Yes I understand what you are saying, but for me the volume can widen the gap between $1k to $5k from the current bitcoin price. If we go back in 2021 to a bull market we would know that $5 billion in volume was not small, it should have moved the price further than it is now.

Re: Binance trading activity is 13x larger than any other exchange
On your link, it says it's larger than the 13 biggest exchanges combined. I know binance is a big exchange but isn't it too exaggerated already? I think the combined volume of 2 or 3 big exchanges is already equal or more than the trading volume in binance. They are only hyping binance there but no matter what they say there are still people that prefers to trade on other exchanges. Even your friends already prove that. That is because binance doesn't have it all.

In my case, I too use a non mainstream exchange whenever I do a short trade. The reason is they have lesser fees and lower minimum limits. Trades are also faster, I mean there's no sign up needed.

I think the main contributor to Binance had a huge lead in the trading volume over all other exchanges thanks to their main adamant about fake trading volume and washout trade. Binance has expressed many times they'll do anything to curb stomp things like that.
The amazing increasing trade volume on Binance is from their wise strategy to give away trading fee. With 0% trading fee, users have more reasons to trade and when they fall into the trap, trading volume increases organically and sustainably.

This increase recent months is also supported by recover of Bitcoin and crypto market in general. With less fear, people go trading more.
Let's not forget that people do have a tendency to go with the first one and do whatever they can with it. If you were asked to do a trade, would you do it on the exchange that is 1st and more than double the second, or would you prefer the second that has less than half of the trading volume?

This is just a question about first and second, when we consider third and fourth and all others, it's clear that being first means being the best most of the time and the main place people go to. Of course they weren't first at the start, and in order to get there they used both cheap trading fee, but also affiliate income as well, which gave them a huge boost at early days.
Yes, people would go to exchange they thought it was the best out there compared to the other. Unless there are some requirements that you don't meet or you don't trust that exchange, most will goes to the biggest, the top of all fish.
You see, others gave their opinions on my comment. Because Binance has low fees on trading pair or you, saying they're at the top cause they the top, famous because famous, that kind of thing I understand.

But all of you guys have to understand how Binance becomes the #1, the biggest fish out there? Remember Kraken? Bittrex? Poloniex? Why are none of them now at the #1, behind Binance despite they being from the old camp, well-established way before Binance start their business?
Even with the mandatory KYC, people still flock to Binance? Cause I said the fake trading volume and washout trade are the biggest concerns for traders and Binance knew this very well. They opt for their business along it and success, other things are just minor boosts.

Trading on Binance is good. But know that you will have to be fully verified in a way your identity document would be requested for. Which means KYC is mandatory.

Regarding KYC, I think some exchanges do that for security. In addition to regulation as well, because I believe exchanges also have risks from rules in a government. The most important thing is that they take good care of the document. Although we don't know it for sure.
Yes, Binance right now obligates all users to do the KYC process.
Actually, this will offer both strengths and weaknesses. We know that local exchanges in a certain country should be centralized under the regulation of the government, if they are not related by the government, they will be blocked and cannot operate in the country. But Binance, they are global exchange and they have larger users and communities. But, they also have some reasons why should be any KYC after so long time not existing. Well, because of this, many people feel disappointed. But once more, this KYC process offers both positive and negative sides. But we also don't know if the document for KYC is exactly secure or not. We may have worries about our document for KYC, there are many types of information that there is no guarantee 100% that our data will be safe 100%, never. There will be always certain ways to make it not secure. But hopefully Binance will really give their best to secure the data and fulfill the people's expectations. Because we all know that Binance is exactly an amazing exchange platform.

This tendency is true for almost anything as well so it is not a behavior that is exclusive to this market or anything, for example when it comes to the search results of an Internet query most people only visit the top 5 options, with the one at the top being by far the one which receives the most clicks, which is why we see such a harsh battle when trying to get the top spot of some of the most profitable search terms, so it is not surprising the same type of competition presents itself in this market as well.

Couple with the mandatory KYC, you'd have pretty effective ways to reduce fake trading volume and washout trade. This makes their trading volume more credible to any other exchanges. Traders flock to Binance because of its credibility and reputation, and it'll keep increasing just like that.

It is that simple, over the years binance has done a good job at gaining the trust of their customers, and while it is obvious their operation is not perfect their clients trust them as they make an effort to present real numbers when it comes to their volume, now this may not seem to be such a huge deal but we must not forget that just a few years ago this was completely out of control and while it is still a problem now it does not seem as bad as it was back then.

i never had problem with binance when it comes to trading or even putting some of my coins to savings. now, if you are questioning about wash trading in binance, it may be true to some coins, but i believe, the people behind it are their respective developers themselves, not the binance team themselves. anyway, what we can say is, if you use binance, i don't think you will encounter issues that will stop you from using this trading platform. their p2p is also very helpful to many as they convert crypto to their fiat currency.

It is not related to mandatory KYC I think so. It is about whether exchanges are against it or not. Even they accept bot tradings, washout volume and fake volume are more related to exchanges themselves, not only traders.

In general I regularly use big trading exchanges (Binance, FTX, Coinbase and OKX) and do not have any discomfort with them, but if possible I use DEXes or DYDX, in general for the last two years these exchanges have reached a level of comfort. But keep your money on any of the centralized exchanges, I would not.

Binance have got the increased number of listings compared to other cryptocurrency exchanges. Also to get listed on Binance isn't an easy thing. Only the projects that fulfil their criteria gets listed. I prefer Binance mostly for the P2P trade access that isn't available with other crypto exchanges.
Even if the requirement to be listed on Binance is not easy, many still want to get in because they know the reputation of Binance can also bring good opportunity for their project and that can attract investors as well. Binance is still on a top position and it’s good that they didn’t stop from doing a good marketing, that helps them a lot. I agree with the P2P option, in our local only Binance have this feature available for us.

Do you mean, they more prefer to invest in a shtcoin where pump and dump happen? they want that because they can easily get money and sometimes more than double happens to their money but the thing is not all shtcoin can give them easy money, just stay as you are. Binance will always be the safe place for me for everything in this trading world.
This is getting interesting after what happens to binance and with all the regulations changes despite the fact that you are trading on a CEX now. Some people would rather choose a reputable exchange than choosing those a DEX or perhaps it's all about the pump and dump of their tons of shitcoin coming in and out that's why most people would choose binance over the other?

We never know what people are thinking these days but one thing is for sure, they like profit that has high risk and high reward ratio
Binance is a big exchange with so many unique crypto projects that has good liquidity and market movement. I cam see that some traders are attracted to using high multiples leverages in trading which can be very risky and can bring heavy loses.
There are other similar exchanges that allows trading with high leverages but not as compared to that of Binance. I see this kind of trading as high detrimental to our trading guide which can make us keep been attracted to high leverage trading.
There some exchanges that has many of these pump and dump coins which can make a trader make severe loses if care is not taken.

In fact, P2P trading is now a mandatory element for all major exchanges and, accordingly, is not a distinctive feature of Binance from other cryptocurrency exchanges. In addition, in terms of the number of fiat currencies supported, Binance is also not a leader among other exchanges.

Given the fact that the Coinmarketcap rating belongs to Binance, this is not surprising. But if these volumes are really real, then Binance is a monopolist, which negatively affects the cryptocurrency market. Nevertheless, despite the mandatory KYC, this exchange is really in the first place in terms of its functionality and security.
The transaction volume is real, you can check Coingecko for that too. Using transaction volume or marketcap on exchanges, Binance is still the number one exchanges. But in transaction volume, Binance is 10x or more, greater than the second exchange.

Probably or it's just that Binance could be for everyone, average Joes to whales (although might be doing OTC). But for the majority of us, they seems to be comfortable and at least they are very supportive as they have been planning to put up education in our country regarding bitcoin/blockchain technology.

Yeah, and it's also case to case, but for the old and traditional traders, maybe buying and just doing some few trades here and there, and HOLD.

But for the riskier individual, taking daily trades and look for profit is their thing.

Not really surprising though. A lot of local traders here has since shifted to binance and they are making a lot of volume on that platform than anyone else. Also, given that Binance is servicing a lot of people around the world, it's not surprise that they are at the top of the game. Their marketing are subtle and they get new traders/people by word of mouth. Never had problems with binance whatsoever ever since I started using it. You can also add that the planned DEX by a lot of people look really underwhelming in all aspects, hence why people still choose Binance, a CEX, compared to any other platforms out there.

There's a lot of competition in the market, that is not monopoly it's just Binance is doing a great job and that's why they remain number one over all. In some country though you can notice that Binance is not the top option but still they manage to get good numbers from it. I can say that Binance did a very great job on their marketing and establishing their brand around the world. That's a real number for sure, and personally I still prefer Binance over other exchange.

Binance is the biggest, if not one of the biggest and well known exchange in the whole crypto market. Anyone who has heard of bitcoin has very likely heard of binance too. When they look for exchanges to buy or trade crypto currencies, they will  very likely have had stopped by at binance to have a look at the exchange. So it is very obvious that it will have one of the biggest trade  activity volume.

So why does your friends prefer more "risky options" and not the regular well known exchanges? Sounds plain stupidity to me.
Totally sounds stupid and there are indeed people who do really love to put theirselves on risk even there's an available best option that they could deal with? Its just always been like that and this is what makes
things mind boggling or puzzling on why people need to act and made out decisions like that.We've been through on how many years of existence out of this market and we've been able to see wayback
on how Poloniex and Bittrex did really make out some dominance in the market in speaking with exchange platform volume but everything had been replaced by something new and that was Binance.
There's some other options though but lets not just put aside on to those probabilities despite of the current top ranking on this market.

Do they mean that they prefer using less reputable exchanges with higher chances of getting rugpulled or with higher chances of the exchange ending up being insolvent? Or am I missing something here?
I was also confused by that part, maybe they mean other exchanges allows them to use more leverage or maybe they like to have a wider selection of shitcoins than what binance offers? In any case it is still odd, because one of the things traders must be actively doing is to monitor and to reduce their risk as much as possible, as this is the only way to survive for long in the markets, so someone which is looking to increase their risk even further is someone that in my mind will lose all their capital sooner rather than later.

GM fam. If you do trade on an exchange, wanted to ask you about your favorite option so far.

Last week I was discussing with some friends the benefits Binance offers: quick trading, minor crashes within each year, and also the liquidity it already has created over the years.

They told me they preferred more risky options and not the classic ones.
I regularly trade with [MT4 + Broker] tho.

Just curious about how you think the in-exchange trading is evolving at the moment with this topic or news like the one I shared below [read today].

Once a man, twice a child!
I got on Binance in 2017, the year I came into crypto but that was after I had opened accounts with Poloniex and Coinexchange. I guess Coinexchange has gone extinct now with Poloniex just there with less patronage. Even in 2017, Binance had little or no reputation as an exchange that just newly got on board but I took my chances with it. Glad I did. Fast forward to today, and from years of experience, I would rather trade on an exchange whose trust rating in high but trading activities are low as against one with low trust rating but a high trading volume. This is why Binance continues to remain my favourite platform till hate. It has both favourable trust score and huge trading activities.

Trading on binance is not bad. I am also trade on binance. but you must verify your account here for trading. Although earlier one could trade here without kyc but now they have stopped it and made kyc mandatory. It is not any big problem because now almost all exchanges made kyc mandatory. Binance listed token always have more liquidity then others exchange. but i OKK and Kucoin is also good exchange like Binance

It’s more risky to use broker and MT4 compared to Binance that has a huge trading volume and different trading option. I’ve been trading before on MT4 and all I can say was it has a limited trading offer compared to binance that almost all financial feature are already there including savings and options which other broker don’t have.

The current strict regulation on exchange right is still a good event to protect user for possible exit scam which is the typical cons of crypto exchange before since no one regulates them. Exchange is evolving good through legal side which is good on long term.

They told me they preferred more risky options and not the classic ones.
I regularly trade with [MT4 + Broker] tho.
I don't understand why would they want a risky exchange platform. Do those give more profits than reputable ones? I mean are there freebies whenever you make a successful trade?

Just curious about how you think the in-exchange trading is evolving at the moment with this topic or news like the one I shared below [read today].

It was first because of their variety of options to trade. Then, they made events for a free listing and some more.
What they did was not done in a blink or just because they have reputable people/companies backing them up. They are good at keeping their traders to stick to them and not look for others.
IMO, I always prefer 2 exchanges to use and the other one is Kucoin.

Binance may be the best choice if you level several factors such as identity verification, know the basics of trading and have sufficient balance but it is not the best choice in terms of speed of order execution and no withdrawal limits, therefore there are many options depending on your country and the level of data you are willing to provide.

In general, unless there is an independent party to measure trading volumes correctly, all data is subject to manipulation.

IMO, it's best for me to stay on Binance and any other reputable exchanges that have proven with the test of time for so many challenges that they've overcome.
It's better to trust them rather than gamble with new exchanges that offer some high and attractive promos as they launch. Although, if it's still about keeping money on exchanges, you better know the drill that it shouldn't be the place where you'll store most of your funds.

If you want to choose a cex rather than using a dex then of course Binance is the right choice. I am not saying they are very good, but the good of bad. Usually, cex isn't preferable, especially to holding funds and providing personal documents. Keep in mind, whether you use Binance or not for KYC reasons, you have to be ready always to provide KYC documents you use any centralized exchange. For cex, I have been using Binance for a long time and hadn't faced any issues yet. But don't hold any amount there unless you are trading for a long time.

Does it include trading features that Binance offers, such as spot trading or futures trading?

I don't know what you really mean, I hope you can explain a little more detail about "they preferred more risky options and not the classic ones".

Binance is generally one of the best exchanges out there. They have a very high trading volume, but I don't think they are good for all of investor or trader who cares about privacy especially if they don't like KYC.

there is no need to question that, because Binance exchange is the number 1 top exchange in the world,
according to coinmarketcap the 24-hour volume has reached $24 billion,
this is a very fantastic number, compared to Coinbase which is only $2 billion.

Have the rules changed? It used to seem like KYC was used as a condition for Withdrawing for larger amounts.

I think that KYC think was a requirement for most account holder and it also has some limitation of how much worth of btc can be withdrawn at a time, I think probably 0.6 in btc or something close to that I can't remember clearly. But apart from that I don't have fears with Binance, so far I have not heard of issues although it is wise to go with caution, it still a centralized exchanged.

Trading on Binance is good. But know that you will have to be fully verified in a way your identity document would be requested for. Which means KYC is mandatory.

Binance trading volume is very much higher than other exchanges, but that does not mean that trading on other exchanges that are recommended are not quick to fill. I have used many exchanges like OKX, Huobi global and some others that having good liquidity as well. Although I trade high marketcap coins and nothing more.

If you want to know if a coin have good trading volume and liquidity. Go to Coingecko or Coinmarketcap, select the coin and check its market. You will be able to see the exchanges it is traded and if the confidence is high or not.
Binance exchange market have adapting with KYC procedure for trading, deposit and withdrawing assets, first time launching Binance still ability trade, withdraw and deposit fund under 2 BTC in daily days without fully verified account by uploading document ID and face selfies. No doubt with Binance is most recommended exchange global market for trading exactly when giving access trade using local money pair, I saw each country have local pair for trading in Binance and make easy for withdrawing to our local money account without have to trade stable coin again.

Not bad to use Binance, but never leave coins on Binance or any other exchange. Not your key not your coin and also that exchanges can be hacked.
All exchange market have potential hacked but depending our self how protect account keep activate with 2fa and always use private internet for access to Binance account, but true with long term holding assets better hold and save in private wallet than use Binance or other exchange market.

Yes, it has changed many months ago. All Binance users have to get verified before any withdraw.

One of them is the convenience of security.
You mean convenience over security. Because exchanges are not considered to be secure and not advisable to have your money left on exchanges. Noncustodial wallet is better. Cold storage wallets are recommended.

Regarding KYC, I think some exchanges do that for security.
No, not related to security at all. It is related to regulators enforcing them, just like the case of Binance. Regulators wants exchanges to follow AML and CTF rules.

The most important thing is that they take good care of the document. Although we don't know it for sure.
There are data breach on exchanges times without number now. The perfect way your data is safe, is to remain just to you. Once given out, hackers might possibly be able to get hold of it. Customers data can even be sold by the company to third party. They can even voluntarily give it out to third party.

So naturally their trading volume is large, and this benefits many traders due to the rapid changes. I think many traders choose echange because of various considerations. One of them is the convenience of security.
Regarding KYC, I think some exchanges do that for security. In addition to regulation as well, because I believe exchanges also have risks from rules in a government. The most important thing is that they take good care of the document. Although we don't know it for sure.

Do they mean that they prefer using less reputable exchanges with higher chances of getting rugpulled or with higher chances of the exchange ending up being insolvent? Or am I missing something here?

GM fam. If you do trade on an exchange, wanted to ask you about your favorite option so far.

Last week I was discussing with some friends the benefits Binance offers: quick trading, minor crashes within each year, and also the liquidity it already has created over the years.

They told me they preferred more risky options and not the classic ones.
I regularly trade with [MT4 + Broker] tho.
