• Binance’s market share rebounds to 49% after a $4.3 billion settlement with U.S. authorities, marking a significant recovery.
• Despite earlier challenges, Binance gains 40 million new users in 2023, highlighting resilience and growth.

Following a substantial $4.3 billion settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has seen a remarkable rebound in its market share. Data indicates a surge to 49% in trading volume market share just two months post-settlement, a significant recovery from previous lows during its legal battles.

Spokesperson of Binance commented on this issue, stating that:

At Binance, our focus has always been on putting users at the center of every decision we make. As a result, users can continue to have confidence in our platform as we move into a new chapter of Binance’s story.

As CNF previously reported, the year 2023 was a rollercoaster for Binance, with its spot market share initially at 55.2% in January, then dipping to 34.3% by September. Despite these challenges, including reported net outflows in the billions mid-year, Binance disputed these figures, pointing out potential inaccuracies in third-party analytics.

In a turn of events, Binance announced a substantial increase in its user base, adding 40 million new users in 2023, which represents nearly a 30% growth from the previous year. This increase underscores the platform’s resilience and expanding appeal among users.

In addition, Binance’s trading volume market share rose to 49% two months after the exchange settled its case with U.S. regulators according to data shared on X.

In light of the settlement, a Binance spokesperson emphasized the company’s continued focus on prioritizing its users, ensuring their confidence in the platform as it moves into a new phase of growth. The settlement, announced by U.S. officials, includes civil regulatory enforcement actions and marks a significant milestone in resolving Binance’s legal issues, setting the stage for its future development.
