Earlier this week, Binance temporarily halted withdrawals due to an increased number of newly registered accounts. This coincided with a huge influx of new traders caused by issues with Robinhood's retail application.

BNB outperforms all veteran "exchange coins" in 2021

In 2018-2019, the utility tokens of cryptocurrency trading platforms ("exchange tokens") were among the "smart bets" for traders due to stable and predictable price performance. However, in 2020, native tokens of decentralized financial protocols ("DeFi tokens") outperformed exchange tokens by a wide margin.

In 2021, Binance Coin (BNB) is the best performing exchange token as it has added more than 28 percent since January 1, 2021.

Its closest competitors, Huobi Token (HT) and Unus Sed Leo (LEO), added 26.1 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively.

Meanwhile, OKCoin (OKB), the native asset of OKEx crypto exchange, is in the red zone, down 37.5 percent from December 2020 levels.
