Coinbase witnessed a 23% higher trading volume in Mar. compared to February. According to The Block, last month’s trading volume was $49.4 billion, whereas, in Feb., it was $40 billion.

Despite Coinbase’s progress in March, Uniswap has surpassed the trading volume by over 45%.

Source: Coinbase Users Flocking to Decentralized Exchanges?

After the FTX collapse in Nov. 2022, investors’ sentiment turned negative for centralized exchanges. Hence the users flocked towards self-custody solutions and decentralized exchanges.

Apart from investors’ sentiment, the failure of FTX also triggered a strict clampdown on crypto businesses from the US government in 2023. Firstly, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined Kraken exchange $30 million for offering staking services in Feb.

Then on Mar. 23, the SEC served Coinbase with a Wells Notice. And the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) sued Binance for breaking trading and derivative rules, resulting in withdrawals of $1.6 billion.

Lastly, the SEC shut down the crypto exchange Beaxy’s operations on Mar. 29 with immediate effect.

Due to the regulators’ actions against centralized exchanges, the users are heading towards decentralized platforms. According to a Dune dashboard, decentralized exchanges hit 1 million users in 2023 Q1.

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.
