KuCoin Crowned Leader in Spot Bitcoin Growth and One of the World’s Top Exchanges
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands — In the CryptoQuant Annual Exchange Leader Report 2025, KuCoin has been named one of the crypto exchanges with the strongest growth among centralised exchanges (CEX). The report notes KuCoin’s significant growth in spot Bitcoin trading activity, overall spot activity, and the derivatives market.
Leader in Spot Bitcoin Growth (+64%)
The report assesses that the growth of spot Bitcoin trading in 2025 was led by mid-sized exchanges rather than the largest. KuCoin saw a 64% increase in spot Bitcoin trading activity and was recognised as one of the Leaders in Spot Bitcoin Growth. This performance suggests KuCoin has gained market share in Bitcoin from several large platforms amid the dynamics of crypto trading.
Listed in the Top Three for Spot Trading Growth (+51%)
Overall spot trading activity shows KuCoin recording a 51% growth and thus ranking among the global top three exchanges with the fastest growth in spot trading.
Strength in Derivatives: Second Largest for Perpetual Altcoins
In the derivatives market, the report also highlights KuCoin’s strength in perpetual trading focused on altcoins. Derivative products involving altcoins outside the top eight by market cap and the eight major altcoins account for more than 50% of KuCoin’s perpetual trading volume. KuCoin now ranks second among global exchanges in this segment, demonstrating its strength in providing diverse derivative liquidity, not limited to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Expanding Fiat Currency Liquidity
The report also notes that the dominance of local currencies in markets outside dollar-denominated markets is becoming more regional and concentrated. KuCoin continues to strengthen fiat liquidity in denominations of AUD, EUR, and BRL, broadening its competitiveness across global markets.
BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, said:
“Growth in digital asset markets must be built on solid infrastructure, transparency, and regulatory compliance. We see sustainable growth in spot and derivatives trading not as a short-term outcome, but the result of long-term investments in liquidity infrastructure, depth of products, and risk-management standards. As we step up fiat channels and a framework of transparency, we will continue to build a safe and regulated environment to support responsible participation in global markets.”
The CryptoQuant 2025 report also emphasises the importance of more comprehensive evaluation methods in assessing an exchange’s strength, including transparency, reserve structure, balance of trading types, and growth—not merely trading volume. The full report is available at the link.
