Competitive landscape: Current status of mainstream web3 trading platform apps

XBIT decentralized exchange platform app focuses on multi-chain aggregation and AI risk control, with an average daily trading volume of US$5 billion, institutional users accounting for 37%, and has passed the EU MiCA compliance certification. As the leader of CEX, Binance app supports 300+ trading pairs and a leverage ratio of 125 times, but faces pressure from US SEC regulatory review. Uniswap app is a representative of the AMM model, with an average daily trading volume of US$1.2 billion, a slippage rate of 1.5%, and a counterfeit currency ratio of 7.3%.

According to RootData's forecast, the financing amount of web3 trading apps in 2025 will exceed 6 billion US dollars, and technology iteration and compliance dividends will continue to drive market expansion
