The two firms' aim is to offer professional and institutional investors such as banks, asset managers and family offices with the means to issue their own crypto-related investment products. The first such products will be introduced in the second quarter.
In an announcement on Wednesday, the firms said that "demand for crypto-related investment products is expected to grow in line with the exponential development of this new asset class."
That therefore requires the services of regulated providers such as Crypto Finance, which was brought under the banner of Germany's Deutsche Börse in 2021, when the exchange acquired a two-thirds stake Crypto Finance for $108.6 million.

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.
知っておくべきこと:
- 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.
