Binance’s Web3 wallet reached peak market share after OKX suspends DEX aggregator service

Binance Wallet, one of the widely used Web3 services, reached peak volumes on Wednesday. The wallet took over traffic after OKX suspended its DEX aggregator service.

Binance Wallet became the most popular Web3 interaction tool, with daily volumes surpassing $90M. The wallet took over Web3 traffic and DEX activity after the OKX wallet suspended its DEX aggregator service.

In the past two days, Binance Wallet expanded its share of overall daily users. Right after the announcement by OKX, the wallet took over 54% of the market. A day later, the share already expanded to 66%.

Binance Wallet usage also coincided with a general increase in BNB Smart Chain usage and DEX activity on PancakeSwap. The shift may be temporary, as OKX has only suspended its DEX aggregator to achieve improved compliance. The other short-term reason for the increased wallet usage was the launch of the Bubblemaps (BMT) token on Binance. The asset was among the day’s trending tokens, further boosting the wallet’s activity.

The other reason for the expansion of Binance Wallet usage is the special bonus period with zero additional trading fees. The ability to trade the newest memes without additional expenses drove the wallet to the leading position. The wallet also retains the advantage of having a native chain, which other Web3 wallets lack, relying on multi-chain access.

Binance’s ecosystem is trying to expand more aggressively after Ethereum and Solana are showing signs of user outflows. The wallet has also added new features, including exclusive access to TGE launches, token filtering and selection features.

OKX loses traffic after becoming a tool for Lazarus hackers to launder funds

OKX Web3 wallet previously carried up to 50% of traffic, due to multi-chain access and high demand for the available DEX. After removing the aggregator, the wallet’s share fell to 3.6% of all activity.

As a Web3 wallet, OKX was used anonymously and carried some of the traffic from the recent Bybit hack. For that reason, OKX will increase its compliance mechanism. The OKX Web3 wallet used THORChain, which managed to obscure some of the swaps. OKX is trying to secure its role in DeFi space, as it turned out protocols were not ready to track down and freeze funds from hacking activities.

OKX claimed its Web3 platform was open to anyone, but the recent activity showed protocols could choose to track down funds and probably were complicit with the losses. There is no unified standard on freezing funds, but OKX will change its access to filtering and aggregating transactions.

Binance shifts the balance of Web3 wallets

The sudden activity spike may also be linked to a new feature that further consolidates the ecosystem. The owners of Binance balances on the centralized exchange can now directly bid on decentralized tokens.

Binance Alpha 2.0 launched for the Chinese-speaking regions, explaining the rapid spike in Web3 activity during Asian trading hours. Binance’s approach to expanding token selection without listing is similar to the Coinbase verified pools, offering curated access to relatively safer liquidity pairs.

The BNB Smart Chain also produced $1.63M in fees for the past 24 hours, surpassing TRON (TRX) to become the sixth-largest fee generator for the past day. BNB Smart Chain also raised more fees compared to Ethereum and Solana put together. The shift to new meme tokens shows there is still a search for highly active crypto assets. Despite the slow altcoin season, liquidity hubs and accessible infrastructure remain the key to retaining on-chain activity.

Currently, Binance and Coinbase are the only centralized exchanges with a highly active native chain. This has allowed the crossover between centralized activity and Web3. In the past months, liquidity was mostly split between CEX and DEX, but Binance unleashed its peak user base and assets to flow back into DEX activity.

Following the peak wallet usage, the native token BNB took a step back, to trade at $618.84. In the past few days, BNB maintained its price above $600, mostly driven by new demand for meme tokens.

Binance has the additional advantage of integrating Four.meme tokens, in addition to the hand-picked daily Alpha selections. Other exchanges lack the integrated ecosystem to offer extended lists of tokens and safe DEX aggregation.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
