Crypto hedge fund LedgerPrime is planning to return all capital to outside investors amid a transition to becoming a family office, pending approval, Chief Investment Officer Shiliang Tang confirmed to CoinDesk in an email. The news was first reported by Seeking Alpha.
"Yes, nothing is changing; [we're] not shutting down," wrote Tang. "LedgerPrime as name and entity will still remain along with everyone at the firm and will operate independently with same strategies as we always have. We are just returning outside capital."

Crypto exchange FTX acquired LedgerPrime parent company Ledger Holdings last year. Ledger Holdings also owned the crypto futures platform LedgerX, which has since become FTX US Derivatives.
LedgerPrime, which has $300 million to $400 million in assets under management, would continue to operate independently but would only make investments on behalf of trading firm Alameda Research, according to Seeking Alpha. Alameda was started by FTX founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.

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.
