Binance Holds the Lion’s Share of Bitcoin Reserves Across Exchanges

Binance continues to assert its dominance in Bitcoin custody as the crypto market rebounds. Despite significant BTC outflows from competing platforms, Binance’s reserves have remained strong, indicating rising user trust and liquidity concentration on the exchange.

Binance Commands 23% of Exchange BTC Reserves

Latest data from CryptoQuant reveals that Binance now holds 23% of all Bitcoin reserves across centralized exchanges. Since the 2020 COVID-19 market crash, the exchange has consistently grown its BTC holdings, even as rivals have experienced steady declines.

While this reflects Binance’s growing prominence, CryptoQuant analysts caution that such centralization raises concerns regarding the platform’s influence over market flows and overall network decentralization.

Institutional Momentum Grows as Retail Activity Slows

While retail investors appear hesitant, institutional entities and whales are increasingly active. Binance’s taker buy/sell ratio has jumped nearly 19% in the past month, including a 6.2% rise over the past week. This indicates that confident buyers are entering the market at prevailing prices.

The surge in taker activity, typically associated with strategic or institutional investors, has accompanied Bitcoin’s climb to a monthly high of $94,500 amid improving macroeconomic conditions.

With net taker volume approaching $62 million—its highest in weeks—Binance is at the forefront of this buyer-driven momentum. Analysts suggest this trend could signal a continued bullish outlook, especially if retail engagement remains low and larger players continue to dominate.
