Additionally, nearly half of the people interviewed kept their assets on the platform, reinforcing their confidence in the exchange.

Besides, it topped as the most preferred platform for full-time traders, followed by Bybit and OKX. Well, this was likely given its deep liquidity, which makes it easier to enter and exit trades with low slippage costs. 

The report added that Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], and AI tokens were the most traded cryptocurrencies across most CEXes. BTC and ETH could gain momentum as markets shift focus to pro-crypto policies by President Donald Trump.

It is worth pointing out, however, that the AI narrative has picked momentum in the past four months as the AI agent sub-sector drives market excitement.

With speculations that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)  could be achieved this year, the AI/AI agent narrative could stamp dominance in 2025.
