The return of fees on Binance led to a decrease in trading volumes in the spot market

According to The Block analysts, in April of this year, the volume of trading in the spot cryptocurrency market collapsed by 65%. Experts attribute the incident to the introduction of commissions on the Binance exchange.

The total trading volume for April decreased by 10 million BTC, to $265 billion. This is 65% less than in March. In March, the Binance exchange held a promotion in which it canceled commissions for trading on the spot market in transactions with BTC. In April, the site returned commissions, which immediately led to a decrease in trading volume. At the same time, the rate of the first cryptocurrency in April did not show a significant decrease or increase.

“Binance’s decision has greatly impacted traders and market makers whose strategies are highly dependent on the commission rate they pay on each trade,” explained Simon Cousaert, director of data at The Block.

Earlier, the analytical company CruptoQuant reported that the leverage ratio for bitcoin reached an all-time low of 0.195, previously demonstrated in December 2021.
