KuCoin Tops Industry in 2025 Spot Market Share Gains as KCS Defies Exchange Token Slump

New updates have been reported about KuCoin.

KuCoin has emerged as one of the strongest performers among centralized cryptocurrency exchanges in 2025, with TokenInsight’s latest annual report placing the platform in the top three globally for overall market share growth and first in the industry for spot market share expansion. Between January and December 2025, KuCoin increased its spot market share by a net 5.83%, outpacing all major rivals, a gain attributed to sustained investment in spot asset listings, liquidity improvements, and wider global coverage. This performance comes amid heightened competition and shifting market concentration among leading exchanges, positioning KuCoin as one of the few platforms delivering consistent positive share gains in a volatile environment.

KuCoin’s native token, KCS, also delivered standout results in 2025, ranking among the top three exchange tokens by annual price appreciation and one of the few to post positive returns in a year when many peers declined, trailing only OKB and BNB. TokenInsight interprets the combined trends in KuCoin’s trading volumes, market share, and token performance as evidence of solid operational capability, user trust, and a disciplined long-term strategy. KuCoin, which now serves over 40 million users in more than 200 countries and regions and offers more than 1,000 listed tokens, continues to emphasize security, compliance, and user experience, supported by SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 certifications and regulatory registrations including AUSTRAC in Australia and a MiCA license in Austria. Under CEO BC Wong, the exchange signals an intention to build on its 2025 momentum by further scaling its global, regulated footprint and reinforcing its position in spot trading as a key driver of future ecosystem growth and token value.
