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.
