TokenInsight said KuCoin handled about US$490 billion in Q2 trading volume, while its overall market share rose to 2.96% and its futures open interest share climbed to 6.20% from 2.23%.
KuCoin increased its standing among major cryptocurrency exchanges in Q2 2026, with TokenInsight’s latest Crypto Exchange Report showing gains in both overall market share and derivatives activity even as broader industry trading activity normalized. The exchange generated about US$490 billion in total trading volume during the quarter, and its overall market share rose to 2.96% from 2.83% in Q1, making it one of the few major platforms to expand share over the period. The sharper move came in futures open interest, where KuCoin’s share climbed to 6.20% from 2.23%, equal to roughly 178% quarter-over-quarter growth and the largest increase among exchanges covered in the report. Because open interest tracks outstanding positions rather than trading turnover, it is commonly used as a gauge of sustained participation, liquidity depth and committed capital in derivatives markets.
