KuCoin Shatters Records in H1 2025: A Dominant Force in Crypto’s Bull Run

KuCoin isn't just riding the crypto wave—it's steering the ship. The exchange's H1 performance didn't just meet expectations; it bulldozed through them like Bitcoin through a $50K resistance level.

Here's why traders are paying attention:

• Liquidity Tsunami: Order books deeper than a Wall Street analyst's self-importance

• Volume Velocity: Matching the frantic energy of degens chasing the next 100x

• Institutional Onramp: Because even suits want a piece of the action (just don't call it 'FOMO')

While traditional finance still debates 'blockchain, not Bitcoin,' KuCoin's metrics scream adoption. Of course, in crypto, today's ATH is tomorrow's 'buy the dip' opportunity—ask the guys who YOLO'd into leverage at the top.

The exchange also tapped growing demand for futures trading, ranking fourth among derivative markets after offering advanced features for derivative trading. 

KuCoin announced H1 passed with efforts on improving security and compliance. The exchange had to meet increasing demand for trading and secure markets for some of the newly trending assets in South Korea.

The assets on KuCoin have been added slowly over time, following detailed revision. However, the exchange has managed to tap some of the most successful trends, including high-liquidity meme tokens, RWA assets, and liquid blue-chip markets.

Globally, KuCoin achieved advanced certifications, including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022, underscoring its exceptional safety. The market received an AAA security rating from CER.live, becoming one of the four most secure exchanges globally. 

KuCoin has included a $250M fund for insurance coverage, part of the $2B Trust Project to keep the KuCoin community safe. 

KuCoin received MiCA License

KuCoin is one of the market operators to recognize the importance of the European market for crypto growth. The exchange secured a MiCA application to operate freely in the EU. It also opened KuCoin Thailand, a fully regulated local exchange under the KuCoin brand. 

Previously, KuCoin was relatively isolated and bound by the stricter South Korean requirements. From 2025 onward, the exchange plans to reach other regions, including the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Latin America (LATAM), where spot trading has been picking up. 

KuCoin joins fintech innovation

KuCoin is also ready to adopt the trend of crossing over into fintech. KuCoin Pay expanded globally in the first half of the year, enabling a mix of crypto services and real-world payments. KuCoin Pay partnered with multiple regional fintech apps in Southeast Asia. 

KuCard experienced over 30% growth in transaction volume, with 8.5% cashback for high-tier users. 

The Trading Bot platform of KuCoin saw 8.9M bots created, with a 40% growth in volumes. Over 170 new tokens and 106 futures markets were added, catering to growing demand for automated trading.
