KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

Commissioned byKuCoin

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.

Chorus One and MEV Zone Team Up to Boost Avalanche Staking Rewards

The post Chorus One and MEV Zone Team Up to Boost Avalanche Staking Rewards appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Through the partnership with MEV Zone, Chorus One users will earn extra yield automatically. The Chorus One Avalanche node has a total stake of over 1.7 million, valued at around $55 million. This collaboration will introduce MEV Zone to both public nodes and Validator-as-a-Service. The Avalanche network stands to benefit from fairer and more efficient markets due to enhanced transparency. Chorus One, a highly decorated institutional-grade staking provider, has inked a strategic partnership with MEV Zone to enhance yield generation on the Avalanche (AVAX) network. The Chorus One partnered with MEV Zone to increase the AVAX staking yields, while simultaneously contributing to the general growth of the Avalanche network. “At Chorus One, we see this as an important step in our ongoing journey to provide robust infrastructure and innovative yield strategies for our partners and clients,” the announcement noted.  Why Did Chorus One Partner With MEV Zone? The Chorus One platform has grown to a top-tier institutional-grade staking ecosystem, with more than 40 blockchains, since 2018. In a bid to evolve with the needs of crypto investors and the supported blockchains, Chorus One has inked several strategic partnerships in the recent past, including MEV Zone. In the recent past, MEV Zone has specialized in addressing the Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) challenges on the Avalanche network.
