PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the digital asset industry enters a more mature and selective phase, the role of crypto exchanges is expanding beyond trade execution. Liquidity and product breadth remain fundamental, but security, transparency, regulatory readiness, infrastructure resilience and real-world utility are becoming increasingly important measures of long-term competitiveness.
Against this backdrop, CoinGecko Research has released the KuCoin Exchange Report, providing an independent assessment of KuCoin's nine-year evolution and its performance during the first half of 2026. Released alongside KuCoin's ninth anniversary, the report examines how KuCoin has evolved from a crypto exchange focused on token access into a trusted digital asset infrastructure serving more than 45 million users worldwide, while reflecting the broader transformation taking place across the digital asset industry.
The report highlights KuCoin's continued expansion beyond transaction execution, particularly across payments and broader crypto utility. During H1 2026, KuCoin's off-chain payment volume increased by 300%, payment orders grew approximately 25-fold, and its network of service partners and merchants expanded by 60%. On-chain payment activity also recorded rapid growth, reflecting increasing demand for practical digital asset use cases beyond trading.
CoinGecko Research identifies three key trends shaping KuCoin's market activity during H1 2026: resilient derivatives participation, broader trading interest and continued expansion into tokenized markets.
First, derivatives activity remained comparatively resilient despite a more cautious market environment. KuCoin recorded average daily trading volumes of $1.99 billion in spot markets and $3.07 billion in perpetual futures. Weekday and weekend perpetual trading volumes differed by only 9.4%, indicating sustained participation in a continuously operating global market and reinforcing the importance of reliable, always-on trading infrastructure.
Second, trading activity became increasingly diversified. BTC and ETH's combined share among KuCoin's top 18 spot trading pairs declined from 74.3% to 45.2% by the end of June. CoinGecko Research links this shift to faster rotation across altcoins and emerging market narratives, highlighting the growing need for exchanges to combine deep liquidity in major assets with the agility to respond to rapidly evolving user demand.
The report also points to tokenized markets as an important area of product evolution. Between January 1 and July 29, approximately 61% of newly launched perpetual contracts on KuCoin were tokenized stocks or equity indices, reflecting growing demand for round-the-clock access to traditional market themes through crypto-native infrastructure.
Taken together, the report suggests that exchange competitiveness is increasingly defined by more than trading volume alone. As the industry matures, market depth, resilient infrastructure, regulatory readiness, transparency, product relevance and real-world utility are becoming the defining characteristics of long-term leadership.
CoinGecko Research concludes that KuCoin's nine-year evolution reflects a broader industry transition—from facilitating access to digital assets toward building trusted infrastructure that supports long-term participation in the digital asset economy.

CoinGecko Research: KuCoin's Nine-Year Evolution Reflects Crypto's Shift from Trading to Trusted Infrastructure
POMONA, Calif., Aug. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As schools prepare for the 2026–2027 academic year, classroom technology is becoming increasingly connected to the digital tools educators and students already use every day. Yet adding more technology does not always mean a simpler classroom experience. Switching between platforms, connecting personal devices, and managing software can create unnecessary friction during instruction.
Nework's NewBoard E-Series is designed to address that challenge by bringing native Google ecosystem access, interactive teaching capabilities, and flexible device connectivity together in a single classroom display. Available in 55-inch, 65-inch, and 75-inch models, the E-Series combines Google EDLA certification with Android 14 to provide educators with a more familiar and connected digital teaching environment.
Native Google Access for a More Connected Classroom
A key feature of the NewBoard E-Series is its official Google EDLA certification, which provides native access to the Google Play Store, Google Workspace, and Google Classroom directly from the display. Educators can access familiar classroom tools and educational applications without relying on external PCs or complex sideloading.
The certification also supports enterprise-grade data privacy and automatic OTA updates, helping schools maintain a secure and manageable technology environment. For educators, the goal is straightforward: spend less time managing technology and more time teaching.
Designed Around Collaborative Learning
The E-Series is built to support classrooms where interaction extends beyond the teacher standing at the front of the room. Its 50-point multi-touch capability allows up to 10 users to write, draw, and work through problems simultaneously, while palm rejection, smart stylus recognition, and gesture support provide a more natural writing experience.
With an 8-core processor, 8GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and Android 14, the display is designed to support multitasking across teaching applications and interactive content.
Wireless screen sharing further expands classroom participation. Through E-Share, teachers and students can stream content from up to 16 devices, including laptops, tablets, and smartphones. This makes it easier to move between individual work, group discussion, and classroom presentations while supporting a flexible BYOD environment.
Built for Everyday Classroom Use
The E-Series combines these interactive capabilities with a 4K UHD anti-glare display, an 85% NTSC color gamut, and a 178-degree viewing angle to support clear visibility across the classroom. Anti-glare treatment helps minimize reflections under classroom lighting, while toughened 8H glass adds durability for everyday use.
Full-function USB-C connectivity with 65W power delivery brings video, audio, touch return, and charging together through a single cable, helping simplify transitions between devices and presentations. Dual 20W front-facing speakers provide clear audio for multimedia lessons and classroom content.
"EdTech should empower teachers to teach, not force them to spend valuable class time troubleshooting connections or managing outdated software," said the Nework Product Team. "With Google EDLA certification and Android 14 on the NewBoard E-Series, educators can access the Google tools they already rely on directly from the display. Our goal is to make connected classroom technology more intuitive, secure, and interactive for learning environments of all sizes."
For the 2026–2027 Back-to-School season, the NewBoard E-Series represents Nework's broader approach to classroom technology: bringing the tools educators already use into a more integrated, collaborative, and accessible learning environment.
