Huobi Receives Largest Amount of USDT Net Deposits
In addition to emerging as the exchange with the highest number of USDT transactions, Huobi exchange’s cryptocurrency wallet – Huobi Wallet – was observed to have the largest amount of USDT Net Deposits among the 14 cryptocurrency exchange platforms.
With a total net deposit worth $323 million, Huobi comfortably eclipsed rival exchanges including OKEx, Binance, HitBTC, and Bitfinex, having total deposits worth $172 million, $112 million, $32.60 million, and $16.35 million, respectively.
Interestingly, however, although OKEx witnessed higher net deposits compared to Binance, the number of transactions on Binance was roughly 144% bigger than that of OKEx.
Further, there was also an interesting observation with respect to the level of concentration of distribution of USDT among the top exchanges.
According to the data, in March, a total of $1.68 billion worth of USDT was officially distributed. Of this, the total net deposits of the top 14 exchange platforms amounted to a total of $672 million USDT, out of which, close to $607 million worth of USDT – more than 90% of the total – was received by Huobi, Binance, and OKEx.
