Singapore – Binance has once again demonstrated its industry leadership, securing the top position in CoinDesk's highly-regarded April 2025 Exchange Benchmark report. The leading digital asset exchange achieved an impressive score of 90.1 and maintained its prestigious AA status, the highest possible risk-adjusted rating, solidifying its standing as the premier platform in the evolving global cryptocurrency market.
The CoinDesk Exchange Benchmark, recognized as a key industry standard, evaluates the risk and operational strength of digital asset exchanges worldwide. The latest semi-annual edition rigorously assessed over 100 exchanges using a comprehensive mix of qualitative and quantitative metrics, including regulatory compliance, security protocols, transparency, and market quality.
Binance's performance highlights its continued dominance and robust operational framework:
#1 Overall Ranking: Topped the benchmark with a score of 90.1.
Sustained AA Status: Held onto the highest available risk-adjusted rating.
Market Dominance: Continues to lead significantly in spot trading volume and providing services tailored for institutional clients.
The report also underscored a significant trend towards consolidation within the market, with Top-Tier exchanges, despite representing only 19% of the platforms evaluated, now commanding over 60% of the global spot trading volume. This indicates a growing user preference for reputable and well-established venues, with Binance at the forefront.
Furthermore, the benchmark highlighted the industry's progress in regulatory adherence and institutional readiness. Over half of the assessed exchanges now hold licenses under comprehensive market or virtual asset frameworks. Notably, a significant majority of highly-rated platforms – including 83% of A-rated and 67% of AA-rated exchanges like Binance – offer integrated third-party custody solutions, reflecting the increasing appeal of digital assets to institutional investors.
Binance's top ranking in this benchmark underscores its commitment to regulatory compliance, robust security measures, and providing a high-quality trading environment as the global digital asset market continues to mature.
