The year 2024 has seen several movements in the cryptocurrency market, with highs and lows that impacted investors and exchanges. Amid this dynamic scenario, Binance, one of the largest global exchanges, reached an impressive milestone: the accumulation of US$31 billion in stablecoin reserves, according to data recently shared by analyst Darkfost, in his analysis on the CryptoQuant platform.
This figure represents a significant jump from the US$7 billion recorded in mid-2023, demonstrating exponential growth in a short period.
This substantial increase in Binance’s stablecoin reserves signals a strengthening of liquidity and renewed confidence in the crypto market. Stablecoins, such as USDT and USDC, play a crucial role in stabilizing the market by facilitating transactions and providing a safe haven during times of volatility. Binance’s ability to accumulate such reserves reinforces its position as a leading player in the space.
“On December 11, Binance, the second-largest exchange by volume inflows, reached its highest stablecoin reserves ever, reaching $31 billion. Notably, Binance’s stablecoin reserves were at just $7 billion in June 2023, marking a nearly five-fold increase since then. An increase in stablecoin reserves typically signals that buying pressure is building. With reserves remaining around the $30 billion level, this suggests that investors remain actively positioned in the market, potentially maintaining strong buying pressure,” wrote analyst Darkfost, in his analysis on CryptoQuant.
As 2025 approaches, Binance’s stablecoin reserves, currently around $29 billion, are expected to influence market trends significantly.
Binance Dominates Market with $24B in Deposits by 2024
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has reaffirmed its market leadership position by recording more than $24 billion in user deposits through 2024. This figure surpasses the combined volume of the top ten competing exchanges, according to data published by Binance.
The platform attributed this significant growth to the growing global adoption of digital assets, driven by regulatory advances and milestones such as the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in major markets such as the United States and Hong Kong. Binance’s user base now exceeds 250 million people worldwide.
