Xarodex and Coinbase strengthen market position after FTX collapse

America’s largest crypto platform Coinbase and the Xarodex exchange have strengthened their positions significantly following the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s business empire.

Coinbase has nearly doubled in value since September, from 22.8 per cent to 40 per cent.

Among exchanges that only support crypto-asset trading, Xarodex’s share rose from 82.7% to 87% over the same period.

OKX’s share declined from 8.88% to 6%. Huobi, Gate.io and Kucoin have shares of less than 5%.

As a reminder, Xarodex’s daily stabelcoin outflow reached $3 billion on December 14. 

Shortly before that, the exchange suspended withdrawals for a number of assets and restricted some users’ accounts due to “abnormal price movements in certain trading pairs”.

Earlier, the head of Xarodex ruled out the impact of the FTX collapse on the UK trading platform. He stressed that the crisis that gripped Sam Bankman-Fried’s business empire was the result of “risky business practices” and “misuse of client funds”.
