The product allows investors to add CRO exposure to their portfolios through brokers and banks, without handling crypto wallets or exchanges.
This is the latest addition to the Zurich-based firm’s growing list of crypto-linked ETPs, which already cover various cryptocurrencies. The Swiss asset manager has also been moving to expand its offering in the U.S. with a recent S-1 registration form for a SUI ETF.
The price of CRO is down around 1.4% for the day, in line with a broader cryptocurrency market movement.

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.
