Some members of the CoinDesk team will be holding an On Tap event in Tel Aviv on September 12 and we'd love to see you there. You'll be able to join Leigh Cuen and Daniel Kuhn at Drama Tel Aviv from 8pm to 10:30pm. The goal is to meet some cool people in the ecosystem and possibly line up some interviews with great thinkers and startups.
Please RSVP below. Space is limited to 80 people so act fast. The event is during Blockchain Week so expect to see some notables from around the world and we're looking forward to having a free beer or two with you all by the seaside. There is no agenda outside of networking and meeting the reporters so bring your business cards.

More For You
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.

What to know:
- Polymarket has launched new prediction markets tied to Volmex's bitcoin and ether 30-day implied volatility indices, allowing users to bet on how high volatility will get in 2026.
- The contracts pay out if volatility indices reach or exceed a preset level by Dec. 31, 2026, letting traders wager on the intensity of price swings rather than market direction.
- Early trading implies roughly a one-in-three chance that bitcoin and ether volatility will nearly double from current levels.
