What to know:

  • U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $697.2 million in inflows on Monday, the largest since Oct. 7.
  • U.S. ETFs have recorded approximately $1.2 billion in net inflows across the first two trading days of 2026.
  • Extended ETF outflow periods have historically aligned with local market bottoms, with recent flows flipping back into positive territory alongside a recovering Coinbase premium, suggesting capitulation conditions are fading.

Since spot bitcoin ETFs first listed in the U.S. in January 2024, extended periods of outflows have typically aligned with local market bottoms, based on a 30-day moving average, according to Glassnode data.

Notable examples include August 2024 during the yen carry trade unwind, when bitcoin fell to roughly $49,000, and April 2025 amid the tariff tantrum, which marked a local low near $76,000.

Outflows began in October 2025 but are now flipping back into positive territory. This shift is further supported by the Coinbase premium index, which has climbed back toward slightly negative levels, indicating conditions are no longer consistent with capitulation.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

Commissioned byKuCoin

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
