Internet Computer climbs back to $3 as short-term momentum improves

ICP pushed above the $3 level on rising activity, holding recent gains as traders reassess near-term direction.

What to know:

  • ICP rose about 2.7% to roughly $3.00, reclaiming a closely watched psychological level.
  • Trading activity increased during the move higher, accompanying the push through resistance near $2.95–$3.00.
  • Price has since stabilized just above $3, keeping attention on whether the level can hold as near-term support.

ICP$3.0077 moved higher over the past 24 hours, gaining roughly 3% to trade around $3.013 after climbing as high as $3.03.

The advance extended a short-term recovery that began from the upper $2.80s, with the price gradually building higher lows before clearing the psychological threshold of $3.00, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

The move through $3.00 was accompanied by an increase in trading activity, suggesting renewed engagement as ICP challenged an area that has recently acted as both support and resistance.

Focus now switches to that level as a near-term support. A sustained hold could open room for further tests toward the $3.05–$3.10 area, where prior selling interest has emerged. Conversely, a slip back below $3 would shift attention to the $2.95 zone, which has recently served as a base during pullbacks.

For now, ICP’s ability to remain above $3 keeps the short-term bias constructive, with traders watching volume and follow-through to gauge whether the move develops into a broader push higher or settles into range-bound trading.

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.
