DUBAI, UAE, June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, one of the world’s top three crypto exchanges by volume, has released its Q2 Asset Allocation report, which covers the period from December 2023 to May 2024.

According to the report, as of May 2024, BTC remains the largest single asset held by all users, accounting for 26% of users’ total assets in this leading cryptocurrency.

The data also reveals a declining trend in stablecoin holdings for all users, decreasing from 50.2% in December to 42.8% in May. Excluding stablecoins, 61% of users’ crypto investments are allocated to BTC and ETH.
