Binance Annual Revenue Grew 10x Over the Past 2 Years, While OKX’s Grew 4x

Binance‘s and OKX‘s annual revenue grew 10x and 4x over the past two years, respectively, while Huobi’s quarterly revenue fell by -98% since the second quarter of 2021, as reported by CryptoQuant.com.

Binance

Binance’s quarterly revenue started to grow exponentially in 2021 and maintained its growth throughout the year. The exchange’s annual revenue reached around $12 billion in 2022.

However, the exchange’s trading volumes started to fall at the end of 2022, which also lowered the estimated quarterly revenue. In December 2022, Binance lost 90,000 Bitcoin (BTC) from its reserves in a single week. According to data from Jan. 9, the exchange saw $12 billion worth of withdrawals in the previous two months. The exchange’s trading volume also hit its two-months low on Dec. 23, reaching $9.39 billion.

OKX

According to CryptoQuant, OKX’s revenue recorded 4x organic growth over the past two years.

The exchange burns its native token OKB or repurchases them based on spot trading fee revenue. The burned OKB tokens recorded an increase of 600% in 2021, increasing from $12.5 million to $87.5 million. The token’s spot trading volume also recorded a parallel growth, reaching almost $3 billion on January 2022.

Huobi

In the meantime, Huobi Global’s quarterly revenue has been recording a steady decrease since April 2021.

In April 2021, the exchange recorded $1.25 billion in revenue, only to drop below $250 million by 2022. Based on the data, the exchange is expected to come even closer to zero in quarterly revenue by 2023.

The exchange decided to retreat from China in November 2021, even though it was the dominant exchange in the Chinese market at the time. In October 2022, Huobi’s founder sold his shares, which corresponded to 60% of the company. On December 2022, the community was informed that Huobi was struggling with the winter conditions and could start layoffs.

Even though Huobi’s CEO denied these claims on Jan. 2, the exchange said it was planning to lay off 20% of its staff on Jan.6. On Jan.5, over $60 million worth of crypto left Huobi’s reserves within 24 hours. On Jan.9, Huobi Korea announced that it is separating itself from Huobi Global to become an independent entity.

  • Sources: Saudi Arabia Plans to Expand Oil Pipeline to Red Sea, Increasing Capacity by 2 Million Barrels Daily to Bypass Strait of Hormuz

    On July 7, five informed sources revealed that Saudi Arabia is considering expanding the crude oil pipeline capacity to its western coast on the Red Sea, allowing Saudi Arabia and its neighbors to transport more oil without passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This east-west pipeline, built in the early 1980s, has gained strategic importance since the outbreak of the Iran war in February and the disruption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The pipeline can deliver up to 7 million barrels of crude oil per day to the Red Sea port. The CEO of Saudi Aramco stated in May that approximately 2 million barrels are supplied to west coast refineries, while about 5 million barrels are for export. Sources indicate that Saudi Arabia is in preliminary discussions with some neighboring countries regarding the pipeline expansion, aiming to add about 2 million barrels of pipeline capacity per day. It remains unclear whether Aramco's planned expansion involves upgrading existing infrastructure or constructing new pipelines. One source mentioned that the expansion plan also includes a smaller refined oil pipeline. Two sources indicated that the expansion scale could range from 1 million to 2 million barrels per day, with refined oil also being considered. Another source stated that the project would take several years and cost billions of dollars, requiring adjustments to Saudi crude pricing mechanisms.
