Exchange Tokens vs. Bitcoin
Exchange tokens had a big 2025 no doubt about that, with some doing very well and others not so much. The crypto market grew back to $4t by Q3, and more trading helped push prices up. exchanges saw $5.1 trillion in spot trading in Q3, up 31.6% from the previous quarter, with Binance still on top at 23.83% market share.
BNB did especially well, rising 129% to reach $1,048. OKB also gained by limiting its total supply to 21 million. But many other exchange tokens didn’t grow as much as Bitcoin, which rose 31.62% in Q2, because of less trading and overall market ups and downs.
BGB was a star, jumping 880% this year. Token burns and new partnerships like PayFi and Morph Chain helped it grow. Trading at $3.50 in December, BGB could reach $30 or more according to analysis soon as expansion and events like crazy48h expands..
What exchange tokens surprised you? for me I'll say BNB & BGB and I'm holding both
Totally agree, BNB and BGB have been impressive this year. I was also surprised by BGB’s performance, 880 percent is really strong. The token burns and partnerships clearly made a difference. BNB’s steady growth and strong market position make it a reliable choice. I have also been keeping an eye on smaller exchange tokens, some didn’t move as much as expected, but it’s interesting to see which ones gain traction during high trading periods. It makes me curious about what could surprise us next year.
