Market share consolidation, within the crypto exchange or service provider landscape, describes the process where a smaller number of dominant entities acquire a larger proportion of the total trading volume, user base, or asset custody. This results in reduced market fragmentation and increased concentration among key players.
Mechanism
This phenomenon occurs through several pathways, including mergers and acquisitions, the strategic development of superior technology or liquidity infrastructure, and regulatory advantages favoring larger, compliant platforms. Network effects further accelerate this by drawing more users and capital to already prominent services.
Methodology
Analyzing market share consolidation involves monitoring trading volume distribution across major exchanges, tracking changes in active user counts for various platforms, and assessing the concentration of assets under custody. This analysis helps identify market structure shifts and potential implications for competition and systemic risk within the digital asset industry.
