Global cryptocurrency trading is on the rise, with a study from CoinWire predicting industry trading volumes will exceed $108 trillion by the end of 2024.

This estimate represents a 90% increase compared to 2022.

The United States is leading with a projected crypto trading volume surpassing $2 trillion.

While the US may lead in trading volume, Europe dominates in global cryptocurrency transaction value, accounting for 37.32%.

Europe has been proactive in shaping its cryptocurrency industry through regulations, providing clear guidelines for traders and exchanges.

The European Union’s landmark Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation partially came into effect on June 30, focusing on stablecoins.

Further regulations for crypto asset service providers are expected in December.

This legislative framework, in development since 2020, represents the EU’s first set of uniform market rules for crypto assets.

The survey anticipates Europe’s cryptocurrency trading volume will reach $40.5 trillion in 2024, a 2.7-fold increase from its $15 trillion in 2022.

Asia follows closely, accounting for 36.17% of the world’s cryptocurrency transaction value.

The study’s conclusions were drawn by analyzing centralized exchanges with trust scores higher than six on CoinGecko.

This analysis considered factors like web traffic by country, supported languages, headquarters location, and trading time zones.

One key finding is that Binance dominates the crypto exchange market in over 100 countries, with a trading volume of $2.77 trillion.

Binance.US also holds a significant presence, though with a lower trading volume of $3.9 billion. This makes Binance the most “widely used” exchange globally.

On July 5, Binance celebrated its seventh anniversary and the milestone of reaching 200 million users worldwide.

Following Binance are OKX and Cex.io, with a presence in 93 and 92 countries, respectively, and trading volumes of $759 billion and $1.83 billion.

Coinbase and Bybit operate in 90 and 87 countries, respectively, with trading volumes of $662 billion and $1.14 trillion.

The rise in global crypto trading and the increasing regulatory clarity in regions like Europe signify a rapidly maturing industry poised for significant growth in the coming years.
