  • Announced Tuesday, the firms said the "seamless and secure method" of staking allows the creation of Ethereum 2.0 withdrawal keys in Securosys' hardware security modules directly from the ConsenSys Codefi Staking API.
  • According to the firms, users' keys will never be exposed to Codefi or Securosys, and stakers retain control and legal ownership of the keys.
  • Codefi Staking is ConsySys' interface allowing users to deposit the ether cryptocurrency to Ethereum 2.0's Beacon Chain.
  • In order to participate in validating transactions on Ethereum 2.0, participants will need to stake ether and create their withdrawal keys as Ethereum transitions to proof-of-stake, possibly this year.
  • “By combining Codefi with Securosys hardware security modules our customers achieve the highest level of security and convenience when moving from Eth1 to Eth2,” said Kuhan Tharmananthar, the product lead of Codefi Staking at ConsenSys.
  • 2,483,844 ETH (worth over $3.5 billion) has now been staked on the Beacon Chain since it went live on Dec. 1, 2020.

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.

Lo que debes saber:

  • 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.
