When Bitcoin reached a new historical peak in mid-July, trading volume on cryptocurrency exchanges surged, especially on Binance.
This exchange recorded a trading volume increase of Bitcoin by 2.7 times, from $3.1 billion to $8.4 billion in just one day (July 13-14).
Not just peaking and then falling like many other exchanges, Binance continues to maintain its upward momentum, with a volume of $8.8 billion on July 15, helping the exchange's Bitcoin trading market share soar to 52% globally.
Other exchanges like Crypto.com, Bybit, Coinbase, and OKX also recorded high trading volumes, but could not maintain a stable increase like Binance.
Not stopping at Bitcoin, Binance also leads in altcoin trading with a 77% increase, reaching $20.4 billion in just one day.
The altcoin market share on the exchange increased from 34% to 47%, and continued to hold at 49% afterwards, far surpassing competitors like MEXC, Bybit, or OKX.
In addition, Binance leads in futures contracts with an open interest of $14.1 billion, reflecting a large influx of funds into this exchange to catch the new market uptrend.
"Binance is where investors turn to when the market is highly volatile – due to its deep liquidity and diverse trading pairs," an expert commented.
Supporting context: The U.S. government and large financial institutions are getting involved
One of the driving forces behind the recent surge in Bitcoin is the supportive policy from the U.S. government, especially under President Donald Trump.
On July 18, Mr. Trump signed the Genius Act – the first federal legal document on stablecoins.
This move indicates an effort to formalize cryptocurrency in the U.S. financial system. According to observers, the "Crypto Week" in the U.S. along with a series of bills being discussed by Congress has created a wave of high expectations in the market.
Not only the government, but many large financial institutions are also beginning to view Bitcoin as a serious reserve asset.
Mr. Anthony Pompliano – CEO of Professional Capital Management – stated: "Bitcoin is a rare asset where the risk decreases as the scale increases."
In fact, Bitcoin's market capitalization has surpassed the trillion-dollar mark, opening up significant capital allocation opportunities from global investment institutions.
Great opportunities but also inherent risks
Although many experts are optimistic, some still warn of the risk of a speculative bubble. Professor Ravi Sarathy from Northeastern University believes that companies like MicroStrategy holding too much Bitcoin – currently valued at about $65 billion – could keep prices artificially high in an unsustainable manner.
He also emphasized that the massive influx of funds after Bitcoin ETFs were approved in the U.S. is creating "artificial demand."
Nevertheless, most experts still believe in the long-term potential of Bitcoin. According to a Finder survey, 61% of experts believe this is the right time to buy.
Mr. Kadan Stadelmann – Chief Technology Officer of the Komodo platform – predicts Bitcoin will experience at least 6 more months of price increases before entering a correction cycle.
"With prices having reached $110,000/BTC, I believe a new peak will appear in Q1/2026."
In the long term, experts expect Bitcoin to reach $458,647 by 2030, and over $1 million/BTC by 2035 – an attractive but volatile future.
"Investors need to conduct thorough research before investing – even with high expectations, risks are always present," warns the CEO of Zondacrypto.
Don’t miss the opportunity when the market explodes
When Bitcoin rises, traders always flock to where the highest liquidity and the most powerful trading tools are – and Binance is that place.
With its leading position in trading volume and ability to support users even in the most volatile market phases, Binance is the top choice for both professional investors and newcomers.
