KuCoin Fully Rolls Out KIA, a Crypto-Native AI Built to Simplify the Crypto Experience

2025-12-31 18:00 Last Updated At:18:15

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Dec. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin today announced the full rollout of KIA, a crypto-native AI designed to help users better understand crypto markets, access insights more efficiently, and interact with the platform in a more intuitive way. Now available to all users, KIA represents KuCoin's continued commitment to simplifying the crypto experience through intelligent, user-centric technology.

As the crypto market has evolved, the way users engage with information has become increasingly complex. In earlier stages, investors often relied on manual market tracking and fragmented sources of information, making it difficult to form timely and well-informed views. As market dynamics accelerated, the need for clearer signals, structured insights, and more accessible tools became increasingly apparent.

KIA was developed in response to this shift. Designed as a conversational AI, KIA allows users to explore crypto markets through natural interaction. By understanding user questions and connecting them with real-time market data and contextual insights, KIA helps translate complex information into clearer perspectives—reducing friction in how users access and process market intelligence.

Importantly, KIA is not a general-purpose chatbot. It is a crypto-native AI, built specifically for digital asset market scenarios. Powered by KuCoin's self-developed AI model designed for financial-related contexts, KIA is engineered to interpret market structure, asset behavior, and user intent, rather than simply aggregating information. This foundation enables KIA to deliver context-aware insights that are relevant, timely, and aligned with how users actually engage with crypto markets.

"Since day one, KuCoin has believed that technology has the power to change the world by empowering people," said BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin. "KIA reflects that belief. By building our own crypto-native AI from the ground up, we are creating technology that truly built for the crypto market—its structure, its risks, and its opportunities. Our trust in cutting-edge technology is ultimately a trust in people: in their ability to make better decisions when given the right tools, clarity, and insight."

KIA supports users across a wide range of use cases. It continuously monitors market-related information, including news, community discussions, and on-chain activity, helping users navigate large volumes of data more efficiently. Users can explore market trends, compare assets, and request technical charts or key indicators through simple prompts. For those newer to crypto, KIA also serves as an educational assistant, explaining core concepts and risk considerations through real-world market examples, supporting a more structured learning process.

By making KIA available to all users, KuCoin aims to redefine how people interact with crypto platforms—shifting from complex interfaces and fragmented workflows to more intuitive, conversation-based engagement. KIA is designed to support informed decision-making by improving clarity, accessibility, and user understanding, rather than encouraging specific actions.

Looking ahead, KuCoin views KIA as a foundational layer in building a more intelligent and human-centered crypto experience. By integrating advanced AI capabilities with deep industry knowledge, KIA reflects KuCoin's broader vision of using technology to empower users with better tools, clearer insights, and a more seamless way to navigate an increasingly complex digital asset landscape.

KuCoin Fully Rolls Out KIA, a Crypto-Native AI Built to Simplify the Crypto Experience

KuCoin Fully Rolls Out KIA, a Crypto-Native AI Built to Simplify the Crypto Experience

PANAMA CITY, Dec. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HTX, the leading cryptocurrency exchange, recently released its recap of hot listings during the week of December 22 to 28, indicating that multiple newly listed and actively traded assets delivered outsized gains. As 2025 draws to a close, sentiment across the crypto market continues to recover, with trading activity picking up alongside seasonal year-end momentum. A combination of macro tailwinds and renewed narrative catalysts has driven broad-based sector strength, as AI, privacy, and memecoin assets simultaneously rebound. Capital flows are increasingly gravitating toward high-growth narratives and thematically distinct opportunities.

 

AI Narrative Returns to Center Stage as PAYAI and SQD Lead the Rally

Artificial intelligence remains one of the defining long-term narratives of the 2025 crypto cycle, with accelerating real-world adoption driving a revaluation of application assets. One of the key catalysts behind this week's AI-sector rebound was the official release of Version 2 of x402, an open-source payment protocol for AI agents developed by the Coinbase developer team. The upgraded x402 protocol introduces native multi-chain support, covering token payment on ecosystems such as Base and Solana. It also enables seamless integration with traditional payment rails including the Automated Clearing House (ACH) and bank card networks. This significantly enhances the commercial scalability of AI services.

Following the release, assets across the x402 ecosystem saw significant gains. This validates a broader mid-cycle thesis for 2025: AI business models are transitioning from conceptual experimentation toward scalable, revenue-oriented deployment. HTX's early support for core AI-linked assets provided users with timely access to this narrative-driven market opportunity.

  • PAYAI (PayAI Network): +103%, emerging as one of the strongest performers within the x402 AI ecosystem.
  • SQD (Subsquid): +114%, reflecting renewed interest in AI-focused compute infrastructure.

Privacy Protocols Regain Attention as ZBT and ZEC Advance in Tandem

On-chain privacy is increasingly viewed as a foundational infrastructure for the next market cycle. Against a backdrop of regulatory recalibration and industry restructuring, the privacy sector has seen renewed inflows, forming a "new-and-legacy resonance" dynamic across assets. HTX's diversified asset coverage has allowed users to participate across multiple layers of this narrative.

  • ZBT (Zerobase): +127%, ranking as the best performer overall.
  • ZEC (Zcash): +22%. Zcash is a decentralized, open-source project.

Memecoins Gain Momentum Across Multiple Ecosystems

As the year-end approaches, seasonal memecoin trading activity has begun to resurface. Assets characterized by lightweight narratives and strong liquidity once again demonstrated their volatility-driven appeal. On HTX, several memecoins recorded notable gains, supported by efficient execution and deep liquidity that enabled users to capture short-term opportunities.

  • DONKEY: +21%, a BSC-based memecoin with robust community engagement.
  • MYRO (Myro): +29%, a Solana-based memecoin.
  • HIPPO (sudeng): +33%, a memecoin within the SUI ecosystem.

Multi-Sector Recovery Including DeFi and Layer 1 Ecosystems

Beyond headline narratives, a broader rally across DeFi and Layer 1 assets suggests improving incremental capital inflows and the potential continuation of a year-end market trend.

  • 0G (Zero Gravity): +38%, positioned at the intersection of DeFi and AI.
  • SPK (Spark): +17%, supported by renewed capital inflows and improving protocol expectations.
  • XPL (Plasma): + 25%, a Layer 1 payment infrastructure project.

Seize Early-Stage Opportunities as HTX Captures Emerging Wealth Effects

As market conditions stabilize, sector differentiation remains pronounced. Selecting the right trading venue, featuring forward-looking asset reserves and deep liquidity, has become increasingly critical for users seeking opportunities in the new market cycle. Across this week's top-performing assets, HTX had already enabled trading access at their early stages, allowing users to grasp more entry points.

Through disciplined listing strategies and a robust trading ecosystem, HTX continues to enhance users' ability to capture opportunities efficiently amid complex market dynamics. Looking ahead, HTX will continue to evolve its platform strategy in line with market trends, user demand, and cycle-driven shifts, expanding high-quality asset coverage and deepening liquidity. More market insights and emerging opportunities are available on HTX.
