  • Trade tensions and policy shifts among major economies have pressured the broader crypto landscape, triggering liquidations and profit-taking across key tokens.

  • Analysts are focused on XRP’s ability to establish a new higher low, which could set the stage for a breakout if resistance at $2.09 is breached with volume confirmation.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

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.

  • One analyst says Nvidia’s deepening partnership with CoreWeave could divert GPU access and funding away from independent miners trying to pivot into AI and high-performance computing.
  • Core Scientific, which CoreWeave attempted, but failed, to acquire in 2025, is the only miner posting gains on Monday.
