Binance leads centralized exchanges (CEXs) in leverage ratio as the crypto bull run approaches, according to a report by CryptoQuant.
Leverage ratio represents how much an exchange’s open interest compares to its reserve asset, and high leverage ratio increases the risk of liquidity issues in volatile market conditions.
Binance and OKX have low leverage ratios, indicating strong reserves in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT relative to trading activity.
Gate.io, ByBit, and Derbit have significantly higher leverage ratios, potentially exposing them to liquidity issues in the long run.
