KuCoin’s record $1.25 trillion trading volume in 2025 highlights its growing dominance in the centralised exchange market, driven by strong altcoin activity and sustained engagement across both spot and derivatives markets.
KuCoin reported a record $1.25 trillion in total trading volume for 2025, averaging $114 billion per month. The exchange achieved its highest-ever share of centralised exchange (CEX) trading activity, outpacing market growth despite low volatility periods. Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion, and altcoins drove the majority of activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s position as a leading liquidity provider outside Bitcoin and Ethereum. Even during mid-year slowdowns, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, reflecting higher sustained user engagement.
