Asian crypto-lender Vauld has been granted a three-month moratorium by the Singapore High Court to continue to explore its options, The Block reported on Monday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.
- The court granted a three-month moratorium stopping Vauld's creditors from starting or continuing any legal proceedings.
- The firm now has until Nov. 7 to explore its options. In early July, it was reported that Nexo had signed a term sheet to acquire 100% of Vauld.
- The court has also asked Vauld's creditors to form a committee. The crypto lender owes more than $400 million to its creditors, 90% of which originated from individual retail investor deposits.
- At the start of July, Vauld suspended all withdrawals, trading and deposits on its platform – after seeing $198 million in withdrawals since June 12. The company had previously said it was laying off 30% of its staff.
- Vauld did not immediately respond to CoinDesk's request for further comment.

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.
