The news has given a big boost to the price of DOGE, according to data from CoinMarketCap,

At press time, the cryptocurrency had surged by 37 percent to $0.004306.

Explaining the listing in a tweet, Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao referenced dogecoin's popularity, saying:

"This one is an exception, as there isn't much new tech development (I guess it was never about the tech for this one). The users/community is large, and a famous "ex-CEO" (cough @elonmusk) helps!"

Back in April, soon after calling bitcoin “brilliant,” Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted “Dogecoin might be my fav cryptocurrency. It’s pretty cool.” He also briefly changed his Twitter bio to read: “CEO of Dogecoin.”

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.
