Coinbase Dominates the United States with Over 76% Market Share, Says Latest CoinGecko Report

Coinbase has recorded an average market share of 76.3%, which means that approximately 3 out of every 4 American crypto investors use Coinbase.

According to a recent study done by CoinGecko, Coinbase has maintained its position as the leading centralized crypto exchange (CEX) in the United States commanding a substantial market share of 76.2% as of March 2023.

As per the data provided by CoinGecko, Binance.US and Crypto.com trail behind Coinbase as the second and third most dominant centralized crypto exchanges (CEXs).

Since March 2022, as per the findings, Coinbase has consistently been the most dominant CEX in the United States in spite of turmoil in the market and the heightened regulatory scrutiny of authorities following the collapse of FTX in November 2022.

Over the course of the last 12 months, Coinbase’s market share in the United States ranged from a low of 74% in April 2022 to a high of 78.1% in August 2022, according to the report’s data.  Coinbase has recorded an average market share of 76.3%, which means that approximately three out of every four American crypto investors use Coinbase.

Binance.US is second among the dominant CEXs in the US market with 8.3% market share. Between March and May 2022, Binance.US witnessed a gradual increase in its market share, growing from roughly 6% to over 7% by July 2022. Since then, Binance.US has continued to expand its dominance in the U.S. market consistently increasing its market share to over 8%, except for a brief setback recorded in January 2023.

Crypto.com is positioned as the third most dominant CEX in the United States market although its dominance rate has reduced from 8.8% recorded in March 2022 to 6% in March 2023, indicating a decline.

Kraken and Gemini round up the top five largest CEXs in the last 12 months each sharing almost an equal portion of the remaining 10% market share.

Coinbase has come under pressure from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in recent months after the commission notified the firm it would be commencing a case against it. According to CoinGecko, this notice indicated that the SEC had made a preliminary determination to recommend an enforcement action against the exchange.

The notice from the SEC suggests that the forthcoming enforcement action is likely to focus on parts of Coinbase’s primary trading platform, including Coinbase Prime and Coinbase Wallet. This development could potentially impact Coinbase’s market share in the United States.
