According to a study done by TokenInsight, most exchange tokens underperformed compared to Bitcoin performance. 
Despite the growing popularity of crypto exchange tokens like Binance Coin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bnb/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BNB</a>) and Bitget Token (<a href="http://crypto.news/price/bitget/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BGB</a>), particularly amid the rise of decentralized finance and non-fungible tokens, Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) has proven to be a superior investment choice, analysts at TokenInsight revealed in a <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/research/reports/crypto-exchange-token-tracker-feb-2024?utm=g6s6crypto86dgnewsj89d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent research report</a>. Yet, not all tokens demonstrate the same level of profitability, with some facing side effects due to regulatory pressure.

 “Affected by regulations, BNB experienced a significant decline in the second half of 2023; However, it rebounded towards the end and surpassed last year’s all-time high at the beginning of 2024.”

According to the document, crypto exchange tokens collectively held a market cap of $68 billion as of February, accounting for 3.2% of the entire crypto market cap. However, this represents a slight decrease of approximately 0.3% compared to the end of 2023.

With Bitcoin’s dominance in the market remaining evident, some crypto exchange tokens like BGB and MX Token (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/mx/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MX</a>) still managed to outperform it, witnessing gains of 434% and 248% respectively, TokenInsight’s data indicates. For comparison, Bitcoin soared by over 200% starting from early 2023, as per the report. Analysts added that HTX’s <a href="https://crypto.news/price/huobi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HT</a> and OKX’s <a href="https://crypto.news/price/okb/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OKB</a> tokens are the “only two tokens whose market value has fallen, falling by 75% and 53% respectively from the beginning of 2023.”
