One of the oldest crypto exchanges, bitFyler operates out of Japan. Recently it was recognized as a ‘Real-10’ exchange by a Bitwise report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the spring report, Bitwise claimed only ten of the top cryptocurrency exchanges--equal to five percent of the market--displayed real trading volumes.
In a statement, co-head and COO of bitFlyer Europe Andy Bryant said bitFlyer is listing the alternative cryptocurrencies to widen the American and European market offerings.
“By adding new altcoins, we are expanding bitFlyer’s Buy/Sell offer significantly, giving our customers instant access to some of the largest and most exciting altcoins in the world,” Bryant said.
New offerings also point toward the exchange standardizing across its various markets, Bryant continued.
“Those currencies were previously only available to our Japanese customers, so we’re also consolidating our offer across regions, building a global platform for traders all over the world.”
For now, alternative cryptocurrencies lisk and monacoin will not be available for bitFlyer USA customers.

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.
