Cross-chain bridging service deBridge has released DLN Trade, a cross-chain exchange offering capital-efficient and fast native trading across various blockchains, developers told CoinDesk in a release.
DLN uses a global liquidity engine that creates a decentralized order book, enabling any asset on one chain to be traded directly to any asset on another without the bottlenecks and risks of liquidity pools.

Liquidity pools refer to a basket of tokens locked on decentralized exchanges that are used to facilitate trading for those tokens in the open market. DLN uses peer-to-peer liquidity to conduct trades, instead of relying on a liquidity pool.
“For users, DLN offers unprecedented speed, capital-efficiency, and control — all trades are protected from slippage, MEV, the possibility of reversion, and guaranteed rates with fees as low as 4bps,” developers told CoinDesk.
“Users can also set cross-chain limit orders and cancel at any time before fulfillment. A $10,000,000 cross-chain trade, for example, can be executed for the same low rate as a $1,000 trade,” they added.
DLN claimed their app makes it possible for users to trade across chains without exposure to wrapped assets or liquidity pools for the first time – unlike other services on the market that rely on these instruments.
The DLN app is now live with support for Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Fantom, BNB Chain, and Avalanche.

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.

Ethereum Foundation makes post quantum security a top priority as new team forms
EF researcher Justin Drake says a new post-quantum team will drive wallet safety upgrades, research prizes and test networks as quantum timelines shorten.
What to know:
- The Ethereum Foundation has elevated post-quantum security to a top strategic priority, forming a dedicated Post Quantum team led by Thomas Coratger with support from leanVM cryptographer Emile.
- Researcher Justin Drake said Ethereum is shifting from background research to active engineering, including biweekly developer sessions on post-quantum transactions and multi-client post-quantum consensus test networks.
- The foundation is backing new cryptography with funding and outreach, launching two $1 million prizes, planning post-quantum community events and education, and stressing that blockchains must prepare early for quantum threats despite their long-term nature.
