Spun out of the private, ad-free search engine Neeva, nxyz aims to create fast, reliable and scalable blockchain indexing and data infrastructure, taking real-time data directly from the chains and their associated applications. The platform will provide developers with an application programming interface (API) suite to utilize that collected data.
“We created nxyz so that developers can focus on building at scale, and have the fast and simple method for indexing data they need. I’m convinced this is exactly the kind of innovation needed to help ensure the widespread adoption and success of web3,” said nxyz CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy, who will also remain the head of Neeva, in the press release.
Launched earlier this year by a team that includes ex-Google distributed system engineers, nxyz has brought on beta customers and currently supports Ethereum, Polygon, Binance, Avalanche, Arbitrum and Optimism.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
