Adoption is expected to continue to grow. Twenty percent of Fortune 500 executives said that onchain initiatives were a key part of their company's strategy moving forward, and more than 80% of institutional investors plan to increase their exposure to crypto this year.
Forty-six percent of small and medium businesses who don't use crypto are planning to start using it in the next three years, the report said, and 82% of these companies were of the view that usage of this technology could help address some of their "financial pain points."
Still, for crypto to reach its full potential, greater regulatory clarity is needed. 90% of F500 execs surveyed said that clear crypto regulation in the U.S. is needed to support innovation.

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.
