I recently watched a speech by a leader of a top-tier exchange at the Davos Forum, where he mentioned a phenomenon worth paying attention to—the long-term growth trend of the cryptocurrency market.

This exchange currently has over 300 million users, undoubtedly the largest crypto trading platform worldwide. Even more astonishing is that, from a trading volume perspective, the platform's daily transaction scale has surpassed the two giants of traditional finance—the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.

What does this reflect? It indicates that the crypto market is no longer a fringe asset. It has evolved into a truly global financial infrastructure, with daily capital flows and trading volumes on par with traditional financial ecosystems. The significance of this transformation is something that everyone paying attention to the market should deeply consider.

300 million users? No kidding, this data is indeed outrageous. --- Daily trading volume surpassing the Shanghai Stock Exchange and NYSE? I literally stood up. --- People in traditional finance should be panicking, haha. --- Edge assets? We've already turned the tide, brother. --- The term "global financial infrastructure" is a bit too absolute. --- All we can say is that compliance is catching up, and there's no reason not to be optimistic. --- Davos discussing crypto? The times have really changed. --- What does 300 million users mean? More than half the population of some countries. --- The question is whether this trading volume can be sustained or if it was just a surge. --- Thinking back, some people used to say crypto was a financial utopia. Now it has truly become infrastructure.

Damn, the daily trading volume surpasses the NYSE and SSE? We need to look at this data carefully, could it be calculated differently... 300 million users sounds impressive, but how many are truly active? Speaking at events like Davos naturally requires some discounting; there's too much marketing involved. Global financial infrastructure? Still a long way to go, regulatory risks are still looming. If this data is true, then it's indeed outrageous... but I remain skeptical about its authenticity. Cryptocurrency hasn't been easy to get to this point, but overhyping can easily lead to a fall. When comparing daily trading volume, you have to exclude bot trading. Who among you has seen the details?

300 million users surpass NYSE trading volume, this data is impressive, but I’ll wait and see The crypto world loves to boast now, talking about global financial infrastructure? Keep it simple Davos speeches all sound the same, I've heard it all before Spot trading volume and futures hedging are not comparable at all, don’t confuse the concepts, buddy If it really becomes traditional financial infrastructure, the SEC would have regulated it long ago So the key is whether it can truly go mainstream, otherwise it’s just crypto circles hyping themselves up

Is the daily trading volume surpassing the Shanghai Stock Exchange and NYSE? The data is impressive, but I'm more concerned about how much of the trading volume is just for arbitrage and exploiting opportunities... Wait, 300 million users directly equate to global financial infrastructure? That seems a bit overhyped. I just want to know if this "global level" is truly stable... One regulatory storm and it could all revert to its original form. I've heard a lot of Davos rhetoric, but the key is whether we can survive the bear market.
