In this issue, Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, and Gate ranked in the top five.Among them, Bybit's ranking improved by 2 places, re-entering the top three, mainly due to Bybit listing 49 new stock contracts during the statistical period, making it the exchange with the most supported stocks currently. Bitget's ranking dropped by 2 places, with traffic decreasing by over 40%, which may be related to the rapid decline in traffic following the end of the SPAX subscription activity.As the market prices of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin rise, the trading volume of exchanges generally increased by over 10% in this issue, with Kraken rising by over 20%, boosting its ranking to 6th place. Hotcoin, on the other hand, fell to 10th place due to a decrease in its transparency score.It is reported that RootData adheres to the principle of "transparency first" and has taken the lead in establishing a dual evaluation system of "transparency + liquidity" in the field of stock cryptocurrency exchanges, providing investors with more effective data references, and will continue to enhance and publish this ranking in the future.

The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined Mastercard's cryptocurrency business partners, which now exceed 100, covering multiple key areas such as public chains, stablecoins, trading platforms, risk control services, and payment infrastructure. Unlike Visa and PayPal's more "selective partnership" strategy, Mastercard aims to become the connective layer for all payment links.Structurally, this network can be understood as a "multi-node collaborative system":Assets and Settlement: Through stablecoin issuers like Circle and Paxos, as well as multiple public chains, it undertakes on-chain assets and settlement capabilities.Connection and Circulation: Integrating cross-chain protocols, custody services, and payment channels to allow different chains and assets to flow within its system.Compliance and Security: Introducing risk control service providers like TRM Labs and Elliptic to build compliance capabilities aimed at the global regulatory environment.Applications and Reach: Collaborating with exchanges, wallets, and financial institutions to transform on-chain capabilities into user-perceived payment and consumption scenarios.Therefore, Mastercard's strategy is essentially not about selecting suppliers but about lowering access thresholds and expanding network externalities. It connects more upstream chains and asset issuers while attracting payment institutions and financial terminals downstream, making its strategy more aligned with the center of the next-generation payment system.
