Web3 asset data platform RootData today released the third edition of the "Cryptocurrency Exchange Transparency Rankings (Stock Category)." This edition has undergone significant upgrades in its algorithm, incorporating market makers and traffic weight into the trading volume activity scoring system for the first time. Through a tiered coefficient calculation, it further eliminates discrepancies, enhancing the authenticity and reference value of the rankings.The biggest change in this edition is the official entry of OKX. Since supporting stock trading on February 25, OKX has performed strongly in this data backtest, ranking second on the list, thanks to its compliance licenses from multiple regions, including Singapore's MAS and the U.S. FinCEN.In a market environment where overall user activity is shrinking, Gate has become one of the few exchanges to achieve counter-trend growth in traffic this week. Its visits increased from 3.4M to 4.1M, coupled with a stable reserve of over 110 stock assets, further consolidating its leading position in the niche market.Additionally, while OrangeX maintained its sixth position, its traffic plummeted by over 60% (from 2.4M to 1M), facing severe pressure from existing user loss; XT.com, on the other hand, has seen its score decline for three consecutive weeks due to a lack of compliance licenses, with a trend of increasing marginalization becoming more evident.RootData adheres to the principle of "transparency first," providing investors with more effective data references through a dual evaluation system of "transparency + liquidity." In the future, RootData will continue to optimize data interfaces, assisting more platforms in addressing information disclosure shortcomings, and providing investors with more credible reference dimensions.

Citibank stated that the restrictions on the stablecoin reward mechanism in the U.S. CLARITY Act draft may pose temporary resistance to Circle (CRCL), but will not shake its long-term investment logic.Analysts pointed out that this policy is more likely to affect the pace of scale expansion rather than pose a fundamental threat. The bill aims to limit stablecoin earnings similar to deposit interest, but allows incentive mechanisms related to transactions or payments. Since Circle itself does not directly pay earnings to USDC holders but distributes reserve earnings to partners like Coinbase, its core revenue model will not be directly impacted. Citibank believes that the reduction in rewards may weaken users' short-term motivation to hold USDC, thereby affecting circulation scale and secondary market liquidity, but the key indicators for stablecoin adoption still lie in transaction and payment volumes, rather than circulation volume itself. Previously, due to policy uncertainty, Circle's stock price once fell by about 20%. However, institutions including Bernstein believe that the market may have misinterpreted the policy impact, with regulatory focus on limiting platforms that distribute earnings to users (such as Coinbase), rather than Circle's reserve earnings model.
