Exchange Concentration Risk

Of the 130 coins RampAtlas has sampled, apxUSD leans hardest on a single venue: 100.0% of its reported volume ran through Kraken on September 3, 2026. 85 of them score above 2,500 on the Herfindahl index, the published threshold for a concentrated market: apxUSD, AUSD, Beldex, and 82 more. 1 trade across enough venues to sit below 1,500, where losing any one exchange would not strand the market. Every figure is volume as reported to CoinGecko on September 4, 2026, across the exchanges RampAtlas tracks that CoinGecko lists, not the whole market.

Verified How we verify

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index adds up each venue’s squared percentage share of a coin’s reported volume, so one exchange holding everything scores 10,000 and many even venues score near zero. The bands are the published merger-guideline thresholds: below 1,500 dispersed, 1,500 to 2,500 moderate, above 2,500 concentrated. They describe how a market is spread, not how safe any exchange is. Volume as reported to CoinGecko, September 4, 2026. Covers the exchanges RampAtlas tracks that CoinGecko lists, not the whole market.

20 tracked coins have no volume sample on any exchange we track that CoinGecko lists, so they have no concentration figure. This is a gap in our sampling, not a finding about the coin.

Guides

  • Self-Custody vs Exchange Custody: How to Decide

    Deciding between self-custody and exchange custody means choosing which failure you would rather be exposed to, a company that loses or freezes your assets or a mistake of your own that nobody can undo, and most people resolve it by splitting holdings rather than picking one for everything.

  • How to Verify a Token Contract Address Before You Buy

    A token's contract address is its only real identity, so verifying one means getting the address from the project's own official channel, confirming the same address independently from a second source, and checking on a block explorer that the contract is what it claims to be before you trade against it.

  • Choosing Your First Crypto Wallet

    Choosing a first wallet comes down to one question, whether a company holds your keys or you do, and the right answer depends on how much you hold, how often you move it, and how confident you are about storing a recovery phrase safely for years.
