Many losers, some winners - crypto exchanges fight for traffic in the crisis

 


The ongoing crisis on the crypto market has also given user interest a significant dent, which is now evident from a noticeably declining traffic on the crypto exchanges. While the majority of platforms are losing, there are some clear winners.


The SimilarWeb analysis service provides evidence of the deteriorated traffic figures in the crisis year 2022. According to data leaked to Cointelegraph, the centralized crypto trading platforms — the Centralized Crypto Exchanges (CEX) — are seeing a significant drop in traffic overall.


Even some of the biggest names are not spared from such drops in traffic, with market-leading crypto exchanges Coinbase (46%) and Binance (around 40%) down, while many other exchanges like Kraken (38%) and Bittrex (54 %) goes down. The well-known trading platform Robinhood, which primarily trades in stocks but also offers cryptocurrencies, also recorded a 65% drop in traffic compared to the previous year.


However, a few bright winners stand out from the gray mass of losers, as one of the market leaders, FTX was able to generate an additional 123% web traffic year-on-year. Smaller platforms like WhiteBIT and Bybit were even able to increase by an impressive 244% and 160%. Despite the crisis, the KuCoin crypto exchange is still achieving respectable growth of 50%.


David Carr, one of the senior analysts at SimilarWeb, sees the ongoing bear market as the driving force behind the collapse in user interest, but on the other hand the expert emphasizes that the winners of the crisis may have acted strategically more intelligently than the competition.


Carr points out that the FTX, as one of the big winners, has attracted increasing attention in recent weeks due to positive headlines about rescue attempts and purchase offers for faltering crypto companies. At the same time, the analyst reminds that the crypto exchange Coinbase was again associated with a possible insolvency. Whether this negative headline is truthful or not, an impact on traffic is likely to be felt.


So while the market as a whole has been badly hit by recent developments, the crisis also presents an opportunity for crypto exchanges to step up and reshuffle the deck or reallocate market share, as it would hardly be surprising if traffic changed -Numbers also involve changes in trading volumes.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...
