CoinDesk is keen to find out how leading companies attract, retain and engage their talent, and we need your help.
Today, in association with PompCryptoJobs, we're launching a new research project aimed at identifying the levers that drive engagement, productivity and growth across organizations, both crypto-native and companies adopting blockchain technology.
We are inviting crypto and blockchain organizations to contribute their perspectives using the survey below. Contributors will receive exclusive access to our anonymized research.
Use the link below to get started. We'll report on the findings over the next few months. Any questions about the research process, please contact joe.lautzenhiser [at] coindesk.com
We are also hosting a roundtable discussion led by our VP, People & HR, Talie Schwager. If you are interested in participating, please contact talie[@]coindesk[.]com.
Space is limited to 20 participants. In the event there is significant interest, we will host an additional roundtable to ensure we capture your valuable insights.
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.

XRP drops 4% as traders watch whether $1.88 support holds
Price stabilizes near recent lows after a volatile pullback from above $2.
What to know:
- XRP slipped nearly 4% as bitcoin fell below $88,000, with price action driven more by market structure and positioning than by changes to Ripple’s fundamentals.
- Spot XRP ETFs saw about $40.6 million in weekly outflows, suggesting institutional profit-taking and rotation rather than a loss of confidence in the asset.
- XRP remains range-bound in a tight consolidation between support around $1.88 and resistance near $1.93–$1.95, with fading volume pointing to a larger move once the current stalemate resolves.
