PANews reported on February 11th that, according to CoinDesk, data analytics platform company Arkham Intelligence plans to shut down its cryptocurrency exchange, Arkham Exchange. The platform, conceived in 2024 and launching spot trading in early 2025, struggled to maintain operations due to poor trading volume. Despite having over 3 million registered users and launching a mobile app in December 2025, Arkham's 24-hour trading volume was only $620,000, far below Binance's $9 billion and Coinbase's $2 billion. The company has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the closure. Arkham was founded in 2020, and its investors include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Draper Associates, Binance Labs, and Bedrock.
