Kaiko Report: Cryptocurrency Exchange Bybit's Market Share Rises to Second in the World

The latest data report released by Kaiko shows that the market share of Bybit, the top three cryptocurrency exchanges in the world by trading volume, has soared. The report notes that Bybit has experienced significant growth following the launch of its Bitcoin spot ETF in the United States, positioning it as a major player in the global cryptocurrency trading space. Since October 23, Bybit’s market share has soared from 8% to 16%, surpassing Coinbase in March this year and becoming the second largest exchange after Binance. Driving this growth is the rapid increase in trading volumes driven by the launch of a Bitcoin ETF, boosting global cryptocurrency trading activity. Bybit’s competitive advantage lies in its low transaction fees, making it one of the most cost-effective exchanges in the industry. The exchange launched zero-fee USDC trading in February 2023, effectively improving its competitive advantage. However, Bybit’s substantial growth is not just due to low fees. An analysis of spot trading volumes found that Bybit’s volume growth was driven by BTC and ETH, which have seen their market share rise from 17% to 53% since last year. Its rapidly expanding derivatives products also support Bybit’s growing spot market share. In 2023, Bybit has now solidified its position as the world’s second largest derivatives market after Binance. Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit, said: "We are pleased to see Bybit continue to grow and gain wide recognition in the industry. We are committed to providing low-fee, safe and reliable platforms and innovative products such as unified trading accounts, and more well meet the needs of users.”
