Coinbase Earn was launched last December, and rewards users in cryptocurrency for completing various educational tasks, including watching videos and taking quizzes.
“The rationale behind Coinbase Earn is that as we progress from mining cryptocurrency to buying it to earning it, we open up new opportunities for people to learn about blockchain technology,” Coinbase said.
While, at launch, the program offered rewards in only token, it's now expanded to stellar lumens (XLM), zcash and the Brave browser’s . The exchange said more tokens will be supported soon and added that users must pass an ID check to gain access to the service.
Brave CEO and co-founder, Brendan Eich, commented:
“Like Brave, Coinbase Earn removes intermediaries and inefficiencies so that users can benefit. It's exciting to see Coinbase Earn expand globally so that even more users can get involved with digital assets.”
Stellar Development Foundation co-founder, Jed McCaleb, said that Earn is helping expand Stellar's network, enabling “millions of real and unique users” in over 100 countries to earn XLM while they learn about the cryptocurrency.
Coinbase also said in the post that it's making over $100 million available to users of the scheme. Earlier this month, Earn.com founder and ex-Coinbase CTO Balaji S. Srinivasan said on leaving the exchange: “The Earn integration was successful and we’ve closed ~$200M in deals for the new Coinbase Earn.”

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.

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest files for two crypto index ETFs tied to CoinDesk 20
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.
