Retail-Focused Exchanges Show Significantly Higher Trading Intensity: CoinGecko
Retail-focused exchanges use a larger share of their reserves for trading than platforms that are institution-focused. Exchanges with a stronger institutional focus, such as Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken, maintain relatively low volume-to-reserve ratios of around 0.1. This indicates that deposits are largely held rather than actively traded. Asset Utilization Diverges According to CoinGecko’s latest report, platforms that serve more retail traders, including Bybit and Bitget, record higher ratios of 0.3 and 0.5 on average between January 2024 and February 2026, reflecting greater trading activity. Crypto exchanges with smaller reserve bases, such as MEXC, HTX, and KuCoin, show high asset velocity ranging from 1.44 to 2.04, which points to heavier trading volumes relative to available reserves. Beyond differences in trading activity, CoinGecko also reported that the total value of assets held across the top 12 centralized platforms rose by nearly 70%, increasing from $152.1 billion at the start of 2024 to $225.4 billion by February 2026. Eight exchanges recorded net growth during this period, and Binance led the charts as its reserves doubled. At the same time, Coinbase continues to hold the largest Bitcoin reserves of more than 800,000 BTC, followed by Binance. Despite this, Coinbase has witnessed significant outflows in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Part of these funds appears to have moved to smaller platforms, as Bitget and MEXC recorded sharp increases in reserve value. Post-Listing Price Action In addition to reserve shifts, the report also observed weak post-listing performance across major exchanges. Only about 32% of newly listed tokens trade above their listing price within the first 30 days. Upbit stands out with the strongest early performance, where roughly 67% of listings remain in profit, although it lists fewer tokens overall. Next up are Binance and OKX, both at around 50%. However, gains tend to fade quickly. Between 30 and 60 days, only about a quarter of tokens remain in positive territory. Over longer periods, the share continues to decline across most platforms. Coinbase has emerged as an exception after seeing some tokens recover after six months. By the end of one year, fewer than 10% of listed assets on most exchanges remain above their initial listing price.

IMF's Kristalina Georgieva says the Iran war is pushing inflation higher across the global economy
Inflation is staying hot for longer, and IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva says the Iran war is a big reason why. Speaking Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation, Kristalina said the economic pain is spreading well beyond the countries involved in the fighting. Kristalina explained that countries close to the conflict are taking a hard hit. She also said oil-importing nations are getting squeezed, especially those with little protection against rising costs. “It is global. Everybody uses energy. Everybody feels the pinch of prices going up. And it is asymmetric. It affects different countries differently. If you are in the vicinity of the conflict, it’s a big hit on you. If you are an oil importer, it is a big hit on you. If you have no reserves to protect yourself, you are in a very tough situation,” Kristalina said. IMF says poorer economies absorb the hardest blow from higher energy costs Kristalina then said some of the worst pain is now being felt across Asia, where many economies rely heavily on imported energy. “Poor, vulnerable countries, whether they’re in Asia or in Sub-Saharan Africa, they’re being hammered dramatically, and when we discuss our response, we will zero in on these highly vulnerable countries,” said Kristalina. We know that last week brought a cease-fire, but it was shaky, and the future of the conflict is still unclear. That leaves a lot of uncertainty for workers, shoppers, and businesses in the United States and elsewhere. A regular Wall Street Journal survey of economists now shows a weaker outlook for the year ahead than earlier estimates this year. Even so, most of those economists do not think the war will fully knock down an economy that has already lived through sharp inflation and major policy changes in trade and immigration. They now put the chance of a recession in the next 12 months at 33%, up from 27% in January. The same survey, taken from April 3 through April 9, cut its 2026 growth forecast to 2% from 2.2%. It also raised its estimate for year-end consumer inflation to 3.2% from 2.6%. The outlook for hiring got weaker too. Economists now expect net job growth of 45,000 a month, down from the earlier estimate of 64,500. Oil market damage keeps inflation pressure alive in America’s economy Kristalina also said there will be no quick repair job, even if the fighting cools in the coming days or weeks. She told Margaret Brennan that the war has damaged infrastructure, and that damage will take time to undo. “We have hopes for peace that would improve the conditions for everybody, but we are also looking at impact on infrastructure. A lot has been damaged, and it would take time to bring back to full operation,” she said. That means even if the battlefield goes quieter, the economic mess can keep going. Kristalina said the current crisis could push more governments toward greener energy plans, even though those plans will not help overnight. “The one good thing that we need to remember is that whenever we have an energy shock, we improve,” she said. “Every energy shock in the past would lead to two things: more energy efficiency and more diversification of energy.” Cryptopolitan reported on Friday that America’s latest inflation report said economists think those oil disruptions can keep lifting prices in the months ahead even if the cease-fire holds. The survey expects West Texas Intermediate crude, the main U.S. oil benchmark, to fall to $79.66 a barrel by the end of the year. That would still be about 18% below Friday’s closing price of $96.57. But economists still raised their year-end forecast for core inflation, which strips out food and energy, to 2.9% from 2.6%. That measure is based on the personal consumption expenditures index, which the Federal Reserve watches closely. They were also asked how high crude would need to go for recession odds to climb above 50%. Answers ranged from $95 to $225 a barrel, with an average of $146. Estimates for how long oil would need to stay high ranged from four weeks to 55 weeks, with an average of 12 weeks.
