<p>Despite Binance continuing to lead the DEX rankings in the interim, it is worth noting that the exchange has a number of hurdles to overcome, namely, mounting regulatory scrutiny, which has caused the departure of key executives like the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/binance-france-director-exits-in-latest-senior-departure-at-crypto-exchange-1.1986388" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Director of Binance France</a> and&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/binanceus-legal-risk-executives-are-leaving-wsj-2023-09-14/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/binanceus-legal-risk-executives-are-leaving-wsj-2023-09-14/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Head of Legal at Binance.US</a> and the need to withdraw from several markets, including&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/binance/status/1657099651210969088?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Canada</a>. This has led to a decline in market share from its peak of 66 percent in February to 44 percent in September.</p>
