Popular exchange BTC-e announced improvements to its advanced trading rules yesterday, launching 'Multi-Currency MetaTrader accounts' via the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) terminal.
The change allows users to hold multiple MT4 trading accounts denominated in bitcoin, litecoin, and namecoin, plus the exchange's most popular fiat currencies: EUR (euro), GBP (pounds sterling), RUR (Russian ruble) and CNH (Chinese yuan).

All MT4 account holders will now have the same benefits as those denominated in USD, as long as they define one of the seven currencies above as the account's 'base asset' to show balance, profit and other parameters.
No conversion fees
Previously, users had to convert amounts in those currencies (or others traded on BTC-e) into USD before transferring to MT4, incurring conversion fees.
They may now also deposit, trade and withdraw in those base asset currencies with only "minimal desposit/withdrawal commissions".
Users can now use their preferred fiat or digital currency as the base asset. The unlimited account rule, however, means there is no need to commit to just one.
users can setup MT4 accounts by clicking on the 'MetaTrader' tab on their BTC-e personal profile pages, and selecting a currency.
MetaTrader 4
, developed by MetaQuotes Software, is one of the world's most popular trading platforms for online forex trading. Users install the client software locally, while the server backend is provided by the broker, in this case BTC-e.
Targeted at expert traders, MT4 gives users better access to live streaming charts, plus advanced analytical tools. It further features nine timeframes for each financial instrument, providing detailed analysis of quote dynamics.
Multiple built-in indicators help simplify the analysis, allowing traders to determine trends, define shapes, and set entry and exit points. It also enables one object to be applied over another for comparative analysis, and can also print charts of any instruments for those who prefer paper.
BTC-e introduced MetaTrader 4 to its users in November last year. The platform also provides versions for mobile devices running iOS and Android.

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.

One proposed fund will attempt to exactly mimic the CoinDesk 20, but the other would track the index, excluding bitcoin.
What to know:
- ARK Invest has filed with U.S. regulators to launch two cryptocurrency ETFs tracking the CoinDesk 20 index.
- One proposed fund would track the CoinDesk 20, which provides exposure to major tokens, including bitcoin, ether, solana, XRP, and cardano. The other would track the same index, but exclude bitcoin, by pairing long index futures with short bitcoin futures.
- The funds, which would list on NYSE Arca if approved, aim to offer diversified crypto exposure without direct token custody and follow similar, still-unapproved crypto index ETF proposals from WisdomTree and ProShares.
