$BNB The reserve of stablecoins at a leading exchange recently surged to a new high of $47.6 billion, with an annual growth rate of 51%.

What does this number mean? Frankly, it’s no longer just a trading platform. Compared to the second-largest in the industry, its reserves are a full 5 times larger, a gap that is quite significant.

Looking deeper, this platform currently holds a total of $117 billion in BTC, ETH, and various stablecoins. In the global crypto market, if you want to find the most liquid place, you basically can’t avoid it. When large funds allocate to the market, they inevitably move in and out here.

Interestingly, regardless of external discussions or pessimism, the actual flow of funds remains honest — big money continues to flow into top-tier platforms. This growth rate and reserve scale reflect a fact: mainstream exchanges are increasingly investing in building a liquidity moat.

Rather than focusing on the operational tricks of smaller platforms, it’s better to look at who is truly the "liquidity hub." From the perspective of capital flow in the market, only then can you grasp the real pulse of the market.

The moat of top-tier exchanges is getting wider and wider; I'm starting to feel a bit uneasy here.

This Matthew Effect is really incredible; small platforms can never compete with the top players no matter how they try.

476 billion stablecoin reserves, this is the Matthew Effect—wealth disparity is in place. Big funds have already voted with their money, small exchanges are still dreaming. Once the liquidity moat is built, the gap is completely crushing. These numbers indicate one thing—true players never disperse liquidity. Annual growth of 51%, in other words, the market is voting with its feet, don't try to bypass it.

Damn, 47.6 billion? That's really a huge gap, a complete blow to the lower dimension.

Wow, a 51% growth rate—this is really building a moat. Other platforms simply can't compare.

To be honest, this data is a bit outrageous... 47.6 billion stablecoins, five times ahead of the second place? This is aiming to monopolize the entire liquidity. Big players understand very well—wherever the liquidity goes, they follow it, and they won't play any tricks with small platforms.
