Huobi Global, a crypto exchange registered in Republic of Seychelles, acquired Latin American crypto exchange Bitex to expand its presence in the region, Huobi said Thursday.
- Huobi Global plans to integrate Bitex’s exchange platform with its global platform, the company said in a statement. Bitex will continue operating under its current name and management team in Latin America, Bitex CEO Francisco Buero told CoinDesk.
- Founded in 2014, Bitex operates in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. It is about to launch operations in Peru and plans to expand “soon” to other undisclosed Latin American countries, according to Buero. He excluded Brazil from that list of countries for the time being.
- With over 200,000 open accounts, Bitex serves individuals, high-net-worth clients and corporate customers, Buero said.
- In February, Huobi said it was planning to re-enter the U.S. market after it shut down its business in China to comply with a local ban on crypto-related transactions. From last September through December, Huobi lost about a third of its revenue, company co-founder Du Jun said recently.

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.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
- 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.

R3 bets on Solana to bring institutional yield onchain
As DeFi investors seek stable, uncorrelated returns, R3 is building Solana-native structures to bring private credit and trade finance into crypto markets.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
- R3 has repositioned itself around tokenization and onchain capital markets, with Solana as its strategic base.
- The firm is targeting high-yield, institutional assets like private credit and trade finance, packaged in DeFi-native structures.
- Liquidity, not tokenization itself, is the next unlock for real-world assets onchain, according to R3 co-founder Todd MacDonald.
