The findings highlight growing demand for regulated exchanges that support seamless fiat on- and off-ramps
SYDNEY, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency platform built on trust, today released its latest market insights report, Into the Cryptoverse: Australia 2025 Edition. The findings signal a definitive shift away from early-stage experimentation toward a mature phase of pragmatic growth, where accessibility, trust, and seamless integration with traditional finance are paramount.
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly expanding national landscape—where 22% of Australian adults now hold digital assets[1]—the report draws on a targeted survey of active investors, traders, and builders conducted during a major industry event in November 2025. The data reveals a sophisticated user base that is moving beyond speculative trading toward real-world utility. Crucially, these users are prioritizing platforms that reduce friction, enabling smooth movement between fiat currency and digital assets.
Funding accessibility emerges as a defining theme of the report. The survey data clearly shows that traditional fiat rails dominate crypto onboarding in Australia. Bank transfers are the most widely used funding method, cited by 52.4% of respondents, followed by credit and debit cards at 40.1%. In comparison, 38.8% of participants reported using direct crypto deposits, while alternative methods such as digital wallets (29.5%) and P2P trading (22.0%) play a secondary role.
This distribution highlights that ease of access to familiar, locally supported fiat payment channels remains the primary driver of exchange choice, underscoring the importance of robust bank transfer and card-based infrastructure in the Australian market.
Aligning directly with these market demands, KuCoin currently provides Australian users with direct AUD fiat deposit and withdrawal services, enabling funds to move instantly between local bank accounts and the exchange. This capability is central to KuCoin's strategy of building infrastructure that supports both new entrants and experienced traders as the market infrastructure solidifies.
The report further highlights a community driven by working-age professionals who exhibit long-term investment horizons. While spot trading remains the foundation of engagement, the growing use of crypto for everyday payments suggests that digital assets are graduating from "speculative assets" to "routine financial tools."
These insights validate KuCoin's recent strategic expansion. Addressing the local emphasis on trust and regulatory compliance, KuCoin has secured its AUSTRAC Digital Currency Exchange (DCE) registration and established a physical headquarters in Sydney's CBD. Under the leadership of Managing Director James Pinch, the company is dedicated to delivering a compliant, transparent, and localized trading experience tailored to the high standards of the Australian market.
Together, these findings underscore that the Australian market has entered a new era of maturity—one where trusted platforms, compliant operations, and accessible fiat services are the pillars of sustainable growth. KuCoin's continued investment in local capabilities positions the platform to lead this transition.

Supporting industrial transformation through embodied intelligence
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ENGINEAI Robotics Technology, a developer of embodied intelligence systems, showcased two flagship products at CES 2026. These included the PM01, a lightweight and highly mobile general-purpose embodied agent, and the ENGINEAI T800, a full-scale, high-efficiency universal humanoid robot making its global debut. The demonstration highlighted the performance capabilities of both platforms, while offering industry observers a practical, application-oriented perspective on the emerging potential of human-robot collaboration.
As one of the world's largest and most influential consumer technology exhibitions, CES serves as both a global stage for introducing cutting-edge products and a benchmark for technological trends. This year, embodied intelligence moved to the forefront, shifting from a largely conceptual framework to deployable systems and signaling the industry's rapid progression toward a more autonomous, intelligently collaborative future.
The ENGINEAI booth attracted steady visitor interest through live demonstrations of the T800 and PM01, highlighting full-body coordination and fine motor control capabilities. The demonstrations prompted in-depth technical exchanges with industry partners, developers, and media representatives, who discussed practical deployment scenarios and potential collaboration opportunities. Overall engagement reflected ongoing industry attention to embodied intelligence applications and the evolving role of human–robot collaboration across multiple sectors.
Building on its proven adaptability to real-world settings, the PM01 is advancing toward scaled deployment in multiple application areas, including public transportation, guided tours and retail services, and automated patrols and inspection tasks. With practicality and use-case-driven design as its core strengths, the PM01 effectively addresses concrete operational needs in intelligent transformation initiatives across industries, reinforcing the practical role of embodied intelligence in supporting industrial advancement. Its stable, repeatable performance was widely acknowledged by event attendees.
The ENGINEAI T800 generated significant interest across the robotics community and prompted extensive discussion. This humanoid robot illustrates ENGINEAI's capabilities in key robotics subsystems and system-level integration. As a next-generation intelligent platform designed for real-world deployment, the T800 is equipped with a fully-integrated, high-torque joint module architecture capable of delivering up to 450 N•m of peak torque and 14,000 W of instantaneous joint peak power. Combined with high-degree-of-freedom joint structures in key areas such as the neck, waist, and hands, the robot achieves a high level of anthropomorphic mobility. In high-dynamic scenarios like martial arts and running, it delivers industry-leading dynamic output and load-handling capability.
Looking ahead to 2026, ENGINEAI will continue to focus on core technology development and long-term product strategy, with the objective of driving iterative advancement and expanding real-world application scenarios, guided by a focus on building solid foundations for impact-driven innovation. While further strengthening its existing product portfolio, ENGINEAI plans to align more closely with global market requirements to accelerate product refinement. Through an open and scalable approach to embodied intelligence, the company aims to leverage its technical capabilities to help shape the next phase of human-robot collaboration.
