August 2019 Exchange Review shows market share of exchanges graded AA-E drop in August, with top-tier exchange volumes seeing the largest decline.
Key highlights
D-rated exchange LBank saw an average trade size of roughly fourteen times that of AA-rated Coinbase (for BTC-USD and BTC-USDT trades).
In terms of trade count, LBank traded an average of 11,000 trades per day, while Coinbase traded around 68,000 trades per day.
D-rated Bitmax, a trans-fee mining exchange, constituted roughly half of all USDT volume.
USDT trading volume on Bitmax was generated predominantly by two stablecoin markets: USDC-USDT and PAX-USDT. From the end of June 2019, the exchange saw significant trading volumes from these two pairs, only to drop off abruptly at the beginning of September.
Despite a significant decrease in trade volumes, daily web traffic on Coinbase and Binance increased greatly.
For Binance and Coinbase, daily unique visitors (estimate based on Alexa data) were up 68.5% and 123.6% respectively since July.
Binance was the most popular exchange in August, followed by Coinbase and BitTrex with 92,593, 89,969 and 22,237 daily unique visitors, respectively.
Exchanges graded AA-E (according to the CryptoCompare Benchmark) saw their market share drop in August, with top-tier exchange volumes seeing the largest decline.

Lower-tier exchanges still dominate
Trading volume is still dominated by lower tier exchanges, with D-E rated exchanges representing 71.1% combined (473.84 billion USD).
