Centralized Exchange Tokens Experience Surge in Volume Amid Ongoing Bull Run
Centralized exchange (CEX) tokens have seen a significant surge in volume, with several top performers experiencing substantial price increases. Among these, Bitget Token (BGB) has emerged as the best-performing CEX token, reaching a record high of $3.9672.
Bitget Token has soared by more than 545% from its lowest level this year, resulting in a market capitalization of over $5.2 billion. Cronos (CRO), associated with Crypto.com, rose by over 20% on December 17, valuing it at over $5.1 billion. Meanwhile, Binance Coin (BNB) has remained in a consolidation phase at its all-time high in the past few weeks, with a year-to-date increase of 130%.
Key Factors Driving CEX Token Performance
Bitget Token and Cronos have rallied due to their rising volumes as the crypto industry booms. Binance maintains a leading market share, followed by Crypto.com. According to recent data, Bitget has become the ninth largest exchange in the industry, handling crypto volume worth $5.6 billion in the last 24 hours, while Crypto.com had a volume of $10.1 billion.
Distinguishing Features of Bitget Token
Bitget Token is significantly different from Cronos and BNB. As a CEX token, it offers holders privileges such as:
- Discounts
- Staking
- Profit sharing
In contrast, CRO and BNB power their respective layer-1 networks. Cronos has a vibrant ecosystem, including popular platforms like VVS Finance, Tectonic, Orby Network, and Veno Finance, with a total value locked (TVL) of over $610 million. BNB, on the other hand, powers the BNB Smart Chain, which has a TVL of over $5.86 billion.
These tokens are often seen as a good proxy of the performance of their CEX exchanges.
Future Outlook for CEX Tokens
BGB, Cronos, and BNB prices may continue to perform well this year as cryptocurrencies rally. With Bitcoin reaching a record high of $108,000, the ongoing bull run may bring in more volume to centralized and decentralized exchanges.
