KCS Records Counter-Cyclical Gains as KuCoin Leads the Industry in Spot Market Share Growth

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency platform built on trust, has been recognized as one of the top three exchanges by annual market share growth in TokenInsight’s newly released 2025 Cryptocurrency Exchange Annual Report.

The report highlights KuCoin’s strong performance across multiple core indicators, underscoring its ability to deliver resilient growth amid an increasingly competitive and volatile market environment.

Market Share Growth Ranks Top Three Industry-Wide

According to TokenInsight’s analysis of major centralized exchanges (CEXs), KuCoin’s average market share achieved significant year-on-year growth in 2025, positioning the platform among the top three exchanges globally in terms of annual market share growth. As competition intensified and market concentration among leading platforms continued to fluctuate, KuCoin stood out as one of the few exchanges to achieve sustained positive growth, reflecting the long-term strength of its product structure, asset offerings, and global user base.

KCS Delivers Counter-Cyclical Performance, Ranking Top Three by Annual Price Growth

While many exchange tokens faced downward pressure throughout 2025, KuCoin’s native token, KCS, delivered a counter-cyclical performance, ranking among the top three exchange tokens by annual price appreciation, trailing only OKB and BNB. TokenInsight’s data shows that KCS maintained relatively stable performance over the year and was among the limited number of platform tokens to achieve positive annual returns, highlighting continued market confidence in KuCoin’s ecosystem, strategic direction, and underlying fundamentals.

KuCoin Leads the Industry in Spot Market Share Growth

KuCoin’s momentum was particularly evident in the spot market. TokenInsight data indicates that between January and December 2025, KuCoin recorded a net increase of 5.83% in spot market share, ranking first among all major centralized exchanges. This growth was driven by KuCoin’s ongoing investment in spot asset availability, liquidity optimization, and global market coverage, further strengthening its position within the global spot trading landscape.

Building Long-Term Value Through Disciplined Growth

TokenInsight noted that 2025 marked a period of accelerated differentiation within the exchange sector, with market share dynamics and exchange token performance increasingly reflecting platforms’ long-term operational capabilities and user trust.

KuCoin’s strong showing across multiple key indicators demonstrates the effectiveness of its long-term, disciplined approach to platform development amid cyclical market fluctuations.

KuCoin stated that it will continue to prioritize security, compliance, and user experience, advancing the sustainable growth of its ecosystem and delivering stable and high-quality digital asset services to users worldwide.

Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason

The post Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem, is battling to stay active. Shibarium has slipped from hitting transaction milestones to struggling to record any transactions on its platform, a development that could severely impact SHIB. Shibarium transactions crash from millions to near zero As per Shibariumscan data, the total daily transactions on Shibarium as of Sept. 16 stood at 11,600. This volume of transactions reflects how low the transaction count has dropped for the L2, whose daily average ranged between 3.5 million and 4 million last month. However, in the last week of August, daily transaction volume on Shibarium lost momentum, slipping from 1.3 million to 9,590 as of Aug. 28. This pattern has lingered for much of September, with the highest peak so far being on Sept. 5, when it posted 1.26 million transactions. The low user engagement has greatly affected the transaction count in recent days. In addition, the security breach over the weekend by malicious attackers on Shibarium has probably worsened issues. Although developer Kaal Dhairya reassured the community that the attack to steal millions of BONE tokens was successfully prevented, users’ confidence appears shaken. This has also impacted the price outlook for Shiba Inu, the ecosystem’s native token. Following reports of the malicious attack on Shibarium, SHIB dipped immediately into the red zone. Unlike on previous occasions where investors accumulated on the dip, market participants did not flock to Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu price struggles, can burn mechanism help? With the current near-zero crash in transaction volume for Shibarium, SHIB’s price cannot depend on it to support a rally. It might take a while to rebuild user confidence and for transactions to pick up again. In the meantime, Shiba Inu might have to rely on other means to boost prices from its low levels. This…

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
