Hyundai's Token Company Partners With CasperLabs to Build a PoS Blockchain
HDAC, issuer of the Hyundai-DAC token, is working with CasperLabs to move from proof-of-work.

HDAC Technology, a blockchain company backed by Hyundai, has entered into a strategic partnership with blockchain startup CasperLabs to jointly research and develop consensus mechanisms and seamless integration between the HDAC and CasperLabs blockchains. The companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on June 28, a small initial step toward further cooperation.
The goal of the collaboration is to ensure scalability without compromising decentralization, something that Mrinal Manohar, CEO of ADAPtive Holdings Ltd., parent company of Casper Labs, says is very important for mass adoption.
“Many implementations have come with some flavor of compromise to decentralization and we aim to provide full decentralization alongside permissionless access,” he said.
Experimentation Phase
Initially, the partnership will focus on joint technology development of consensus mechanisms. HDAC, issuer of the Hyundai-DAC token, aims to enable next-generation IoT environments that are authenticated and verified. HDAC currently has their own production Proof of Work blockchain. CasperLabs is currently working on a Pure Proof of Stake blockchain based on the research by CasperLabs lead CBC-Casper architect and Ethereum researcher Vlad Zamfir. As part of the partnership, CasperLabs and HDAC will share research and technical support.
The three-year collaboration reportedly includes the organization of hackathons in USA and Korea and jointly working with select customers and partners to help them implement blockchain-based solutions.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

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.
知っておくべきこと:
- 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.
