Coinbase's New Custody Service Is Now Live
Having accepted its first deposit last week, Coinbase Custody is officially "open for business," the exchange said Monday.

Coinbase's institutional product has begun accepting deposits, the exchange announced Monday.
Coinbase Custody, aimed at institutional hedge funds and other clients who can deposit a minimum of $10 million, accepted its first deposit last week, the company announced on Twitter. Now, the new service is live for all customers.
The exchange currently holds more than $20 billion in crypto assets, it also said Monday - a number the company hopes Custody will help raise by another $10 billion.
First announced in November 2017, Coinbase Custody's clients will pay $100,000 as a set-up fee and a 10 basis point fee-per-month on the assets being held, as previously reported by CoinDesk.
The product was formally launched in May, when the firm further explained its plans to work with a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission-regulated broker-dealer. The exchange went one step further earlier last month, when it announced it was in the process of acquiring a broker-dealer license, an alternative trading system license and an investment advisor license.
Should the licenses be approved, Coinbase will be able to begin offering securities on top of its current products.
At present, Coinbase Custody is open to clients in the U.S. and Europe. While no firm timeline was announced, the exchange said it hopes to open up to clients in Asia by the end of 2018.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

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.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
- 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.
