On the news front, Chainlink inked a partnership on Tuesday with Balcony, a real estate tokenization platform working with local governments. Balcony will use Chainlink’s Runtime Environment (CRE) to bring over $240 billion worth of government-sourced property data onchain. The partnership aims to make real estate assets programmable, transparent and verifiable, starting with parcel-level land records.
Balcony’s Keystone platform, powered by Chainlink CRE, allows authenticated property data to flow directly onchain, helping build compliant digital real estate markets. The deal also underscores Chainlink’s expanding role in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), where secure, regulated data handling is key to institutional adoption.
Meanwhile, Virtune, a Swedish-regulated digital asset manager and crypto fund issuer, said on Tuesday it has integrated Chainlink's Proof of Reserve service across its $450 million digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs). The feature verifies and reports the aggregated asset holdings in the fun without revealing the individual wallet addresses, ensuring investors that the ETPs have the underlying assets.

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.
