Centralized exchanges flourish in Q1’23: TokenInsights data reveals crypto winter may be thawing

Research firm TokenInsight released its Q1 Crypto Exchange Report — showing centralized platforms had a buoyant start to 2023.

The report stated that, during the quarter, the total crypto market cap had grown from $831.8 billion to $1.24 trillion — a nearly 50% increase. Bitcoin (BTC) jumped almost 100% from $16,000 to a $30,000 high during the period.

With that, TokenInsight suggested that crypto winter may be thawing — recommending readers use exchange metrics to help make up their minds.

“With the price of Bitcoin rising from $16,000 at the beginning of the year to a high of $30,000, it looks like winter is over for the Crypto industry. But when will the bull market actually arrive? Perhaps the most intuitive answer comes from the data on the exchanges.”

Crypto Trading Volume

Q1 2023 total trading volume for the top 15 crypto exchanges showed a 40% increase to $10.8 billion versus the prior quarter.

The period around March 14-15 saw the most significant increases in daily volume — as the price of Bitcoin recovered from the banking crisis fallout — likely driven by realizations of fiat fragility and the demand for harder assets.

Binance maintained its dominance throughout the quarter, taking more than half the market share at 55%. However, TokenInsight pointed out that in Q4 2022, Binance held a 60% market share — suggesting recent regulatory enforcement actions and rumors of insolvency have had an impact.

Other exchange metrics

Spot volume for the top 10 crypto exchanges increased by 16% over the prior quarter to $2.4 trillion. However, this is still down versus Q3 and Q2 2022 — which were $2.6 trillion and $2.8 trillion, respectively.

The same pattern is repeated with derivatives volume, with Q1 2023 showing a 30% increase on the prior quarter to $7.8 trillion. But still down compared to Q3 2022 at $8.4 trillion and Q2 2022 at $10 trillion.

Exchange tokens

Given the spate of centralized finance (CeFi) bankruptcies in 2022, exchange tokens had garnered a bad reputation.

Case in point, FTX’s FTT token was used to prop up the exchange’s balance sheet — enabling the firm to borrow against the token. This worked well until panic selling tanked the value of FTT, meaning FTT collateralized loans lost their backing and became worthless.

Nonetheless, the chart below shows a return in confidence in exchange tokens. TokenInsight found all but UNUS SED LEO, and Huobi Token saw price appreciation — with the Bitget Token experiencing 120% growth during the period to outperform Bitcoin.

GateToken placed second, approximately matching Bitcoin’s growth, at a 72% increase in value during the quarter — the other exchange tokens underperformed versus the market leader.

Cardano Foundation Launches PRAGMA: A New Chapter in Open-Source Blockchain Development   PRAGMA is revolutionizing Cardano by improving its infrastructure with innovative open-source projects.  After upgrading Carndado, the Foundation has improved its ability to protect crime-fighting data.  Coronado has announced the launch of PRAGMA, marking a strategic step towards advancing open-source blockchain innovation.  PRAGMA is a nonprofit organization that partners with dcSpark, Blink Labs, TxPipe, and Sundae Labs to establish a strong blockchain ecosystem for Carnado and other blockchains.    PRAGMA’s Vision and Launch On April 22nd, PRAGMA will be commencing its operations in Zug, Switzerland. This marks an important milestone for the company as it enters a new market and expands its global footprint.   Their main focus aims to create a vibrant ecosystem for Cardano and other blockchains by harvesting the development of open-source technologies.    PRAGMA is dedicated to supporting a variety of open-source projects, both those that are already established and those that are still in their infancy.   In addition, they are actively working to promote the continued development and improvement of emerging tools such as Aiken and Amaru.   These projects are central to PRAGMA’s objective of adopting a straight-thinking development environment.       CEO of the Cardano Foundation, Frederik Gregaard, stated: “ At the Cardano Foundation, we are advocates for the open-source maturity of the Cardano ecosystem, supporting collaborative initiatives that increase the diversity, as well as the quality and quantity of blockchain solutions”.    Goals and Plans PRAGMA’s goal is to cultivate an open-source ecosystem for Cardano, primarily focusing on specific projects like Amaru, a full node in Rust, and Aiken, a platform dedicated to pushing smart contract development.   The Cardano ecosystem has set an ambitious goal to increase its memberships by including a larger number of developers by the year 2025.   This strategic move is aimed at expanding its reach and influence in the developer community and providing more opportunities for developers to participate in the growth of the ecosystem.    The current market value of Cardano (ADA) is $0.5161, which has seen a slight uptick of 0.10% in the past 24 hours.    Over the past week, the price has shown significant growth of 8.50%, signalling a potential bullish market trend for the cryptocurrency.
