Crypto brokerage platform Abra has opened Abra Capital Management (ACM), which it said is intended to give clients access to actively managed, structured products and investment funds.
- ACM launched with plans for five funds, three of which will target yield-generating opportunities in stablecoins, bitcoin and ether , and two others that will target early stage token and equity investments, the company said in a statement.
- “As investor appetite for access to the emerging digital asset economy has skyrocketed, so has the demand for solutions that can help them diversify their exposure and invest in high-growth, yet relatively inaccessible, vehicles,” Abra founder and CEO Bill Barhydt said in a statement. “Most exchanges and crypto platforms are limited in the solutions they can offer.”
- Marissa Kim, who recently joined ACM as a general partner, will lead the new business. She previously founded Quantum Global Management, an investment firm focused on thematic investments in the Web 3 space. Barhydt will serve as chief investment officer.
- ACM’s funds require a minimum investment size of $250,000.
- In September, Abra raised $55 million in Series C funding to develop new offerings geared toward high-net-worth and institutional clients.

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.
