KuCoin Reaches Record Trading Volume in 2025

KuCoin recorded a total trading volume of over $1.25 trillion in 2025. This corresponds to an average monthly figure of over $114 billion, marking it as the strongest year in the company’s history.

All-Time High Share in Centralized Exchange Volume

This performance translated into the highest share of all-time in centralized exchange volume, while observations showed that KuCoin’s activities grew faster than total centralized exchange volumes even during periods of low market volatility.

Balanced Trading and Diverse Product Usage

The trading volume was evenly distributed between spot and derivative products, with each surpassing $500 billion throughout the year. This indicates a broad-based demand for usage without relying on a single product line.

Rise of Altcoins

Altcoins represented the vast majority of trading activity, strengthening KuCoin’s role as a significant liquidity hub outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum. This occurred during a period when major cryptocurrencies experienced more subdued turnover.

High User Engagement

Even though overall crypto volumes declined mid-year, KuCoin maintained a high level of fundamental activity. This indicates that user participation is structurally higher and not reliant on temporary volume spikes.
