<a href="https://optimisus.com/news/crypto-news/binance-quietly-discussed-4-billion-settlement-with-vips-months-before-public-announcement/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a>, once the dominant force in the crypto exchange space, has seen its market share decline significantly over the last year.  
The company's involvement in multiple regulatory investigations, combined with the departure of its CEO and founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), has resulted in a significant decrease in market dominance.  
According to CCData, Binance's market share fell to 30.1% in December, a significant decrease from the 55% it held at the start of the year.  
Monthly spot volumes on the exchange fell from $474 billion to $114 billion between January and September, a drop of more than 70%.  
<a href="https://optimisus.com/news/crypto-news/ftx-exchange-sends-75-million-trx-tokens-to-binance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a>'s participation in various regulatory <a href="https://optimisus.com/news/crypto-news/former-sec-official-expresses-concerns-over-binance-settlement-predicts-inevitable-collapse/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">investigations</a> resulted in a series of settlements, including a $4.3 billion agreement with the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in November.  
Similar agreements have been reached with the Departments of Justice and Treasury of the United States. The regulatory challenges also caused several high-ranking executives to leave the organization, adding to the company's turbulent year.  
Despite the loss of market share, Binance's monthly trade volumes have begun to recover since September. The exchange's trajectory in the latter part of the year has been influenced by settlement agreements and changes in leadership.  
Despite having a much lower share of the spot trading market, Binance remains the largest cryptocurrency exchange.  
According to CCData, OKX increased its market share to 8% in December from around 4% at the start of the year, securing the second position behind Binance.  
When both spot and futures trading are combined, OKX's market share rises to 21%, while Binance's falls to 42%.
