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.
