TokenInsight has recognized KuCoin as one of the top three exchanges by market share growth in 2025. KuCoin demonstrated strong performance across multiple core indicators last year.

KuCoin Leads in Spot Market Share

TokenInsight revealed in its 2025 annual report that KuCoin saw a sharp spike in its average market share. As a result, the exchange ranked among the top three exchanges globally in terms of annual market share growth.

KuCoin stood out as one of the few exchanges to achieve sustained positive growth amid intense competition and market concentration among leading platforms. KuCoin, therefore, showed long-term strength in its product structure, asset offerings, and global user base. Many exchange tokens experienced downward pressure in 2025.

On the contrary, KCS, the native token of the KuCoin platform, delivered a counter-cyclical performance. KCS is a top-three exchange token per 12-month growth. Despite this, it is outperformed by OKB from OKX and BNB from Binance.

According to TokenInsight data, the KCS price was stable in 2025. This means that users are confident in the KuCoin ecosystem, its strategic direction, and underlying fundamentals. Notably, the spot market largely felt the 2025 KuCoin momentum. According to TokenInsight, KuCoin recorded a net increase of 5.83% in spot market share between January and December 2025.

The exchange took the first position among all major centralized exchanges. This growth was fueled by KuCoin’s investment in spot asset availability, liquidity optimization, and global market coverage. Hence, the exchange has further strengthened its position within the global spot trading space. KuCoin said its priority is on security, compliance, and user experience, while advancing sustainable growth of its ecosystem. The exchange plans to offer stable, transparent, and high-quality services to its customers.

KuCoin and More Achievements in 2025 

Based on the data, 2025 proved to be a very good year for KuCoin. The exchange saw a big push in regulatory requirements, as it made a new entry into different markets globally. For instance, KuCoin EU received a MiCA authorization from Austria’s FMA in December, as previously mentioned in our report. With this, the exchange now offers crypto trading, custody, and other regulated services in Europe.

In addition, KuCoin made a big regulatory headway in Australia. The exchange secured AUSTRAC registration to boost its presence in the region. With this registration, KuCoin is now bound by AUSTRAC rules for crypto. Alongside this, the platform also confirmed a partnership with Echuca Trading. Furthermore, KuCoin also created a new Australian headquarters in Sydney, as noted in our earlier post. Following the launch, the firm announced James Pinch as Managing Director to lead its regional expansion.
