Crypto.com has overtaken Coinbase in trading volume. According to BitDegree data, Crypto.com’s 24-hour trading volume reached $3.29 billion at the time of writing, compared to Coinbase’s $2.32 billion.
Giuseppe Giuliani, managing director at Crypto.com, attributes this surge mainly to an influx of new clients, including institutions and advanced retail investors.
The introduction of the first spot Ether ETFs in the US was also a major factor in Crypto.com’s expansion. Giuliani observed that during the week of July 21, when the Ether ETFs were launched, the exchange saw an increase in Ether spot and perpetual trading volumes, with double-digit growth from the previous week.
