Its resilience was further highlighted by absorbing nearly 50% of total crypto spot trading during market corrections, as traders flocked to its liquidity-rich platform . Despite regulatory scrutiny and a 1.38% market share dip, Binance’s public notoriety—including Forbes recognition as a trusted exchange—helped sustain its lead . The exchange also saw accelerated Bitcoin inflows (22,106 BTC in two weeks) as investors sought safety amid macroeconomic uncertainty .
