Staking is a way of earning passive income on crypto tokens by offering them to a blockchain network to help it run and receiving a yield in return.
The TON blockchain was started in-house by Telegram in 2018, but it abandoned development in August 2020 after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleged it was selling unregistered securities.
Members of the community, however, took the project forward while maintaining an association with Telegram. In September last year, the messaging app officially stamped the network with its endorsement and designated it as its network of choice for Web3 infrastructure.
Long before it became one of the firms to list a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the U.S., 21Shares had been listing similar products in Europe under the "ETP" designation.
Zurich-headquartered 21Shares surpassed $5 billion in assets under management (AUM) earlier this month.

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.
