What to know:
- Strategy (MSTR) shares rose 6% in after-hours trading after MSCI's decision on digital asset treasury companies.
- MSCI stated that distinguishing between investment companies and those holding digital assets requires further research.
- The current index treatment for companies with digital assets making up 50% or more of their total assets will remain unchanged.
Strategy (MSTR) is ahead 6% in after-hours trading on Tuesday after MSCI decided not to exclude digital asset treasury companies (DATs) from its indexes.
"Distinguishing between investment companies and other companies that hold non-operating assets, such as digital assets, as part of their core operations rather than for investment purposes requires further research and consultation with market participants," said MSCI in a statement. "For instance, assessing index eligibility across a range of these types of entities may require additional inclusion assessment criteria, such as financial-statement-based or other indicators."

"For the time being, the current index treatment of DATCOs identified in the preliminary list published by MSCI of companies whose digital asset holdings represent 50% or more of their total assets will remain unchanged," MSCI continued.
Under pressure for most of the day, the price of bitcoin BTC$93,579.26 added about 1% on the news as well, now trading at $93,500.

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.
