 <p class="is-style-lead">The drop in Bitcoin (BTC) activity on Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange, has been attributed to the removal of zero-commission trading in September.</p> 
 <p>Bloomberg experts noted a 26% drop in average seven-day <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="volume" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/volume.html">volume</a> since the start of September.

 <p>Previously, a significant decrease in trading volume occurred in March following the conclusion of a zero fees promotion, causing Binance’s spot trading market share to fall from 65% to 58.8%.</p> 
 <p>Binance’s dominant position is also being challenged due to legal actions filed by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), alleging violations of securities laws.</p>
