In just one year, the number of registered users on a leading exchange skyrocketed from 170 million to 300 million, an increase of 130 million—this speed is a bit outrageous.

Compared to the growth curve over the past six years, you can feel the industry’s temperature rising. This is not linear growth but exponential acceleration.

What is the core driver behind this? First, the regulatory environment is improving, with regulatory frameworks in various countries gradually being established; second, institutional funds are truly coming in, no longer just retail speculation; finally, the demand for crypto assets as a "money freedom" tool in some cross-border remittances and underdeveloped financial regions is exploding.

In other words, this is not just the growth of exchanges, but a signal that the entire crypto ecosystem is moving from niche to mainstream. The recognition of mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum is also rising rapidly. The market is entering a phase of qualitative change.

BTC-0.18%

ETH-0.6%

1.3 billion new users entered the market within a year, this is really no longer a retail game Institutions coming in are a whole different level, this wave definitely feels like a qualitative change Compliance + institutions + cross-border demand, a three-pronged approach, no wonder the growth is so rapid Wait, is this number real? It feels a bit exaggerated From niche to mainstream, it seems the crypto world is finally breaking out Exponential acceleration, this is the pace I want to see 300 million users now, the next target should be 1 billion, right? Institutions are bottom-fishing, retail investors are just starting to enter, there’s still a chance This growth rate compared to traditional finance is truly outrageous, it looks like the big wave has really arrived

170 million new users pouring in within a year, how many institutions are secretly bottom-fishing? The figure of 300 million users sounds impressive, but how many can truly hold on? Exponential growth is indeed rapid, but I'm just worried it might turn into another pump-and-dump game. The compliance framework has been improved, but when will the big funds really feel safe to enter? Cross-border remittances are indeed a necessity, a lifeline found in a financial desert. Market qualitative change? I don't think it's here yet. We'll know when all the institutions run away. The data looks good, but it depends on the trading activity of these new users—it's a hot potato. From 1.7 to 3 billion, if this growth rate continues, it should break 10 billion in a few years.

130 million new users gained in a year—how much real trading volume does that represent, or are they mostly zombie accounts? Wait, do institutions really have that much capital flowing in? It still feels like the coin prices are just fluctuating sideways. Regulatory improvements are a good thing, but it also means the era of wild growth has come to an end. Cross-border remittances definitely have room for imagination; there aren't as many arbitrage opportunities, making it more stable. Exponential growth sounds exciting, but don't forget what the market was like this time last year.

130 million new users come in a year, it's so outrageous I can't even believe it Compliance + institutions + genuine demand, this time it really seems different Wait, how is this data calculated? Active users or zombie accounts? Is the exponential growth monster really coming? I feel like I haven't even gotten on board yet Cross-border remittances indeed have high demand, a savior in the financial desert Is the era of retail speculation really coming to an end? Institutions taking over is getting interesting

130 million new users gained in one year. The term "exponential" is well-deserved; it's truly astonishing.
