Microsoft has added JPMorgan’s Quorum project to its blockchain tool box.

Gray said:
"We are proud to announce that Quorum is now available on Azure."
Azure is Microsoft’s cloud computing platform, which hosts a range of blockchain-as-a-service tools and includes support for multiple implementations of the tech.
Quorum is an enterprise-focused blockchain service based on the ethereum codebase, designed to meet industry demands for faster speeds and high throughput processing.
Also speaking at the event today JPMorgan's blockchain program lead, Amber Baldet, explained that her company began developing Quorum in an attempt to solve issues it believed were present in the current ethereum implementation.
"That's what the initial release is," said Baldet. "But there’s still a long way to go."
JPMorgan and Microsoft are founding members of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, formally revealed today, along with about 30 other enterprise and startup members.
The project is aimed at better capitalizing on the streamlined services and potentially faster clearing times of transactions resulting from a shared transaction ledger – and doing so in a collaborative manner.
Baldet concluded:
"We have to get over the hubris of thinking we need to build everything in-house."

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.
