KuCoin Dominates CryptoQuant Exchange Report with 64% Bitcoin Growth
KuCoin has been named as one of the strongest growth performers among centralized exchanges in CryptoQuant's Annual Exchange Leader Report 2025. The report highlights KuCoin's robust expansion across Bitcoin spot trading, overall spot activity, and derivatives markets.
The report notes that Bitcoin spot trading growth in 2025 was led by mid-sized venues rather than the largest exchanges. KuCoin achieved a 64% increase in Bitcoin spot trading activity, earning recognition as one of the Bitcoin Spot Growth Leaders. This performance indicates that KuCoin is capturing incremental Bitcoin market share from top-tier platforms amid shifting trading dynamics.
KuCoin also recorded a 51% growth rate across total spot trading activity, placing it among the top three exchanges globally in spot trading expansion. In derivatives markets, the report highlights KuCoin's strong positioning in altcoin-oriented perpetual trading. KuCoin ranks among the top two exchanges globally in this segment, reflecting its strength in diversified derivatives liquidity beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
KuCoin has been strengthening its fiat footprint, with improving liquidity in AUD, EUR, and BRL, building a more competitive presence across these markets. BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, commented: 'Growth in digital asset markets must be grounded in structure, transparency, and compliance.'
