Which exchanges have declined in market share since 2020?

OKX, HTX and MEXC are centralized cryptocurrency exchanges with declining market share since 2020. In 2020, these exchanges had market shares of 16.3%, 16.0%, and 16.6%, respectively. However, by the end of 2024, their market share had dropped to 6.2%, 4.4%, and 4.1%. While these exchanges have maintained a steady or rising trading volume over the years, new entrants have surpassed them.

The entry of new exchanges such as Crypto.com, Bybit and BingX has successfully eroded the market share of long-term exchanges. FTX is also a major competitor, accounting for 2.6% of transaction volume in 2021 and 4.8% in 2022. This makes it the sixth largest exchange in the two years before it eventually collapses.
