Exchange Binance is becoming a platform for trading altcoins, which account for up to 60% of all trades. At the same time, activity in Bitcoin and Ethereum is declining due to constant selling pressure and low volumes.
The market downturn didn’t stop Binance return to altcoin trading levels seen in early 2025, with the figure showing no signs of slowing down.
Despite the relatively slow growth of altcoins, the asset rankings on Binance has a number of unique features. The exchange is represented by a record liquidity stablecoins, allowing for sufficient funds to be used for transactions. Furthermore, the exchange offers the most liquid tokens, allowing for speculative trading with sufficient liquidity.
The increased activity is driven by the excessive growth in the price of certain tokens. ZEC and Aster (ASTER) were the leaders, surpassing BTC. However, less popular or forgotten altcoins remain illiquid and risky.
Despite the relatively high share of altcoins on Binance, traders remain cautious. By comparison, in early October, in anticipation of the «green month,» token trading peaked at over 82% of all activity on the crypto exchange.
