Exchange Valuations Not Explained by Volume Alone... Kaiko Research, Institutional Funds, MiCA, and Liquidity Quality Change the Game
The market valuation of cryptocurrency exchanges is maturing rapidly around three pillars: institutional fund inflows, regulatory restructuring, and deepening market concentration. Kaiko Research analyzes that the background for the corporate valuations of Crypto.com and Kraken, each around $20 billion, is the spread of the view that exchanges are 'financial infrastructure,' not just simple spot trading volume. Simultaneously, Binance's structure, occupying about 30% of total trading volume, remains robust, and in Europe, regulatory compliance has emerged as a key criterion for exchange competitiveness following the introduction of MiCA.
