The Impact of SEC Enforcement Actions on Crypto Exchanges

The SEC’s recent enforcement actions against Ripple, Binance, and Coinbase have had negative effects on other crypto exchanges’ liquidity. The CEX landscape, already facing challenges after the FTX implosion, has seen a major shift.

Key Points:

Spot trading volumes sharply declined in Q2 2023, reaching the lowest level since 2020. Binance’s volume fell by 70%, while Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, and Huobi experienced a 50% drop.
Kraken has been an outlier, showing remarkable resilience in terms of liquidity. It has increased market depth since the beginning of the year.
Liquidity crisis in the United States has become a significant trend, impacting prices on Binance.US and Coinbase.
Overseas exchanges like OKX have gained market share and liquidity at the expense of Binance.

Renewed Optimism:

While the market continues to be turbulent, institutional clients remain optimistic. A survey conducted by Binance Research and Binance VIP & Institutional team shows that over 50% of respondents have a crypto AUM of less than $25 million, and 22.6% have AUM larger than $100 million. 63.5% expressed confidence in the crypto outlook for the next year, and 88% are positive for the next decade.

The SEC’s enforcement actions have had a significant impact on the liquidity of crypto exchanges.

However, despite the challenges, institutional clients remain optimistic about the future of crypto.
