Spot trading volume across 14 major exchanges reached $510.4 billion in August 2026, up 19.0% from July’s $429.0 billion, with 13 exchanges recording higher volumes. Binance led the tracked market with between $227 billion and $243 billion in spot volume and reported record monthly inflows exceeding $15.7 billion. Bitcoin’s price rose more than 30% during August, while daily trading peaks approached $37 billion and activity concentrated in major cryptocurrencies. Across a wider centralized-exchange sample, spot volume rose 15% to approximately $811 billion from July’s two-year low of $705 billion, but Binance’s share was about 28%, indicating a gradual decline in its broader market dominance. The August rebound represented a recovery rather than a new volume record.
