- The Jersey-based digital-asset investment company, which trades on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market, announced Monday a £24.7 million ($34.9 million) year-on-year increase in comprehensive income.
- The 338% jump was helped by management fees and trading gains of £39.9 million ($56.4 million), an increase of £31.1 million ($44 million) on Q1 2020.
- Assets under management grew almost 10-fold increase from £380 million ($537 million) a year ago to £3.4 billion ($4.8 billion).
- The increase can be attributed largely to the crypto bull market that took hold in late 2020 and continued apace throughout the first quarter, and which has shown signs of slowing this month.
- “In recent weeks, the cryptocurrency market has reached as high as $2.6 trillion and as low as $1.4 trillion," CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti said. "And while the asset class can be volatile, even the lower of these figures reflects over half a trillion dollars of market growth since the start of the year."
- Mognetti also announced the company's intention to launch a business segment focusing on the consumer-finance market, attempting to broaden its client base beyond institutional investors.
- At the net level, the company reported a first-quarter loss of £1.77 billion ($2.5 billion) compared with net income of £80 million ($113 million) the prior year.

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.
