Binance currently holds the highest BTC trading volume, with the BTC/FDUSD trading pair taking the lead at $2.82 billion, reflecting the growing dominance of this stablecoin on the exchange. 

Bitcoin paired with Tether (USDT) takes the second spot in trading volume on Binance, reaching $2.16 billion.

The Coinbase exchange secures the third position with BTC trading paired with USDT, boasting over $1 billion, nearly half of Binance’s trading volume.

Whales show increased interest in purchasing Bitcoin

The substantial inflows of cryptocurrency, indicative of notable whale activity, could be interpreted as a strategic move, possibly hinting at the anticipation of an imminent bull run in the crypto market.

During the initial weeks of January, significant market players made substantial moves in the crypto space. They acquired over 30,000 BTC, according to insights from analysts.
