MEXC was the fastest-growing centralized exchange in 2025.
Up 90.9% year over year, it jumped from $766.7B in 2024 to $1.5T in 2025. It now accounts for about 7.8% of the market, ranking as the third-largest CEX.
What drove the surge? A bold zero-fee policy across all spot trading pairs, aimed at high-frequency traders and cost-conscious retail users who value low costs over brand prestige.
Top 10 by market share:
1) Binance: 39.2% share, $7.3T volume (down 0.5% YoY; still dominant)
2) Bybit: 8.1% share, $1.5T volume (down 13.7% YoY; recovered from February hack)
3) MEXC: 7.8% share, $1.5T volume (up 90.9% YoY)
4) Gate: 7.5% share (up 39.7% YoY)
5) Crypto.com: 7.2% share (up 4.3% YoY)
6) Bitget: 6.4% share (up 45.5% YoY)
7) OKX: 6.3% share (down 0.5% YoY)
8) Coinbase: 6.1% share (up 2.8% YoY)
9) HTX Global: 6.0% share (up 35.6% YoY)
10) Upbit Global: 5.5% share (down 18.9% YoY)
Key takeaway:
- 6 of the top 10 exchanges posted higher volumes in 2025. Total top-10 volume reached $18.7T, up 7.6% from 2024.
- Fee competition is reshaping market share. MEXC and Bitget grew through zero-fee models. Binance remained dominant but didnโt grow. The CEX landscape is more competitive than in years.
