Odaily Planet Daily reported, citing Bitcoin.com News, that Binance registered $15.7 billion in inflows in August 2026 — a monthly record for the exchange and more than 75% of the total that flowed into centralized exchanges during the month. The exchange's research team, Binance Research, estimated the figure to be roughly 8.4 times the second-largest positive inflow recorded by any centralized exchange. Bybit and OKX were also named among the top three exchanges with concentrated liquidity, while smaller platforms saw more distributed inflows. In the same period, Bitcoin surged more than 20%, crossing $80,000 and fueling stronger trading volumes on exchanges. Additionally, Binance is facing a European Union accusation that it continued onboarding local users without a license under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Overall, August's inflow figures underline the ongoing concentration of liquidity in the largest exchanges.
