Holding 81% of the total exchange token market cap—now at $105 billion—BNB dominates the sector. Its dual role as both an exchange utility token and the native asset of the BNB Smart Chain has helped secure its place among the top five cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
CryptoQuant’s tweet noted, “BNB & LEO resist market volatility,” emphasizing how these two tokens remain strong despite the recent downturn.
LEO Outperforms Peers, Sits Just 10% Off Peak
LEO, the exchange token issued by Bitfinex, is now only 10% down from its previous high. The token is the second most valuable exchange token after BNB, currently ranked 26th by market capitalization with a market cap of $8.3 billion. It previously held the 13th spot in April.
Unlike CRO and KCS—which are still over 1,300 days away from their ATHs—LEO has remained relatively steady. The token reached its peak 147 days ago, compared to BGB and GT, which hit highs 221 and 191 days ago, respectively.
CryptoQuant highlighted BNB and LEO’s outperformance, calling out their “lowest historical drawdowns among exchange tokens.”
