Bloomberg’s index calculated Binance’s revenues from spot and derivatives trading data from crypto data aggregators CoinGecko and Coinpaprika.

As of September, the exchange’s spot trading market share had fallen for sapte luni consecutive to 34.3%. In January, Binance’s spot market share was over 55%.

Binance.US, its United States-based arm, also saw volumes touch new lows last month.

Zhao’s plummeting net worth and Binance’s fading trading volumes follow twin lawsuits from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

SEC sued Zhao , Binance and Binance.US in June, claiming the exchanges operated illegally, sold unregistered securities, and mishandled customer assets, with Zhao named as their “controlling person.”

The CFTC’s suit martie claimed Binance did not properly register with the regulator. Zhao and Binance reject both regulators’ allegations and seek to dismiss both lawsuits.

The recent fall pales compared to CZ’s once-rival Sam Bankman Fried, who saw his $16-billion fortune effectively wiped out in November 2022 after FTX disclosed its liquidity crisis just days before it filed for bankruptcy.

Some believe the crisis was kicked off by a tweet from CZ when he announced that Binance vindea its FTX Token (FTT) holdings, triggering a wave of withdrawals from FTX. Zhao initially moved to buy the embattled exchange but scos afară less than 48 hours later.

Bankman-Fried took to the witness stand in his own criminal trial on Oct. 26, where he has previously pleaded not guilty to two counts of fraud and five counts of conspiracy.
