EIGEN initially rose by over 13% to $4.26 but has since fallen back to $3.77.
The total supply of EIGEN is 1.68 billion tokens, with an initial circulating supply of 185 million, which includes 86 million tokens that were airdropped to users that interacted with the protocol earlier this year.
Unlike commonly-issued governance tokens, EigenLayer's approach to EIGEN is different as it labels it the "Universal Intersubjective Work Token."
A blog post states that the token will solve challenges of "universality, isolation, metering and compensation." It will also use social consensus and forking to execute a variety of digital tasks.
EigenLayer has experienced outflows in recent months with its total value locked (TVL) dropping from $20 billion in June to around the current $10 billion. This is partly due to stakers exiting their positions after meeting the criteria to receive an airdrop.
The protocol is built on Ethereum, it accepts ether deposits and gives users to ability to secure additional networks in return for additional yield.

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.
