Mining Market Update

Bitcoin Miners Flock to ‘0 Fee’ Binance

Don’t look now, but Binance is sweeping up volume as the bear market closes in. 

 

New data from Kaiko Research shows Binance upping its trading volumes versus 13 other polled exchanges, all while the greater market experiences pullback.

The consolidation can be attributed to Binance’s July policy of zero trading fees on numerous popular pairs, such as BTC/USDT. Traders have flocked to the platform since, which other major exchanges can’t match, Kaiko writes.

 

As it turns out, miners like cheap fees, too. Binance’s share of exchange payouts has widened some 25% since early July from 30% to 57%, according to Coin Metrics. (Coinbase is not included in the below data sample).

Binance's (light green) share of transactions from mining addresses to exchanges now dominates for all Bitcoin miners. With the bear market here, every Satoshi counts.
