Crypto trading platform Ziglu is talking with buyers interested in acquiring it for a lower price following the collapse of its acquisition deal with Robinhood Markets (HOOD), Sky News reported on Thursday.
The London-based firm is in discussions with a number of interested parties and is hiring investment bankers to oversee the sale, according to the report.

The firm is also looking to raise around 2 million British pounds ($2.5 million) at a valuation of $12.3 million to enable it to continue operating until it reaches a deal.
Robinhood agreed to acquire Ziglu for $170 million in a deal that would have given the U.S. online brokerage a fully regulated arm in the U.K. Robinhood, however, cut the offer to $72.5 million in August, and the deal subsequently collapsed.
Ziglu didn't immediately respond to a request for 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.
