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.

Liquidity lifts bitcoin, but ‘halving cycle’ fears could limit rally in 2026, says Schwab
Quantitative tightening is over and balance sheets are growing again, but cycle theory and adoption concerns still cloud bitcoin's upside, according to Schwab's Jim Ferraioli.
What to know:
- Bitcoin’s outlook for 2026 is shaped by falling rates, rising liquidity and improving risk sentiment, though adoption may lag early in the year.
- Schwab’s Jim Ferraioli points to ten key drivers of bitcoin’s price—three long-term and seven short-term—with several short-term factors currently supportive.
- While 2026 is expected to be a positive year, Ferraioli says bitcoin’s gains will likely fall below its historical 70% average from annual lows.
