Coinbase Overtakes Binance in Kaiko’s Q2 Exchange Rankings
Coinbase has officially surpassed Binance to take the top spot in Kaiko’s Q2 crypto exchange rankings.
The market data firm evaluated major platforms based on governance, business performance, liquidity, technology, and data transparency.
Kaiko Highlights Key Performance Shifts
Kaiko’s latest ranking marks a major shift in industry leadership. Once considered the benchmark for crypto exchange performance, Binance fell behind in several areas. Coinbase now leads the pack, with Kraken, Binance, and Crypto.com rounding out the top four.
“Coinbase came out on top this quarter,” Kaiko noted in a June 5 update. The U.S.-based exchange scored especially high in governance, security, and liquidity performance—core pillars of trust in today’s crypto market.
Trust and Compliance Take Center Stage
With regulatory scrutiny intensifying worldwide, Coinbase’s emphasis on compliance, transparency, and secure operations may have given it an edge over competitors.
While Binance remains a dominant force in volume and global reach, concerns over regulatory practices have chipped away at its reputation in certain markets.
Kraken and Crypto.com also ranked strongly, reflecting rising competition and improved standards across the board.
