A quant has explained how there appears to be a relationship between Coinbases spot volume dominance vs. Binances and the Bitcoin price. <\/p>\n
Bitcoin Has Been Reacting To Binance\/Coinbase Volume Changes <\/p>\n
In a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, an analyst discussed the dynamics in the cryptocurrency market that arise out of the battle happening between Binance and Coinbase for spot volume dominance. <\/p>\n
The quant shared a chart below that shows how this war for dominance has played out over the past decade. <\/p>\n
As the graph shows, Binance has been the much more dominant of the two platforms when considering the spot volume. The exchange is hosting five times as much volume as Coinbase. <\/p>\n
The analyst notes that the difference between the two would be even higher when considering the BTC-FDUSD pair, which isnt included in the data depicted in the above chart. <\/p>\n
Despite the much lower spot volume, Coinbase still hasnt been irrelevant in the market. For example, the platform is the custodian for Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like BlackRocks IBIT and Grayscales GBTC. <\/p>\n
There also appears to be an interesting pattern between the dominance of the American exchange and the Bitcoin spot price. The quant has highlighted this trend in the graph. <\/p>\n
There have been a few instances where a rise in the spot trading volume of Coinbase against Binance has preceded surges in the value of cryptocurrency. Similarly, declines in the platforms dominance have seemingly led to drawdowns in the Bitcoin price. <\/p>\n
The analyst has also discussed the trend in the volumes of the two exchanges more closely, using the spot volume ratio for them, as shown below. <\/p>\n
The chart shows that the spot volume ratio between Binance and Coinbase had spiked to very high levels in 2023, with the formers volume being 53 times the latters. The reason behind this was the zero-fee scheme that Binance had introduced for the Bitcoin trading pairs. <\/p>\n
However, Coinbases volume has recently risen, although the ratio remains notably in favor of Binance. This shift in the market emerged as the Bitcoin spot ETF-related news started to intensify. <\/p>\n
The quant concludes: <\/p>\n
The dynamics between these exchanges are complex, but the graphs show that each exchanges dominance at specific times has a direct impact on the price of Bitcoin. Its a true battle between the markets biggest players, where competition is constant, and the outcome is reflected in cryptocurrency movements. <\/p>\n
BTC Price <\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $61,800, down 3% over the past week. <\/p>\n
