Rank 78 by market cap
The utility token of the KuCoin exchange: holders receive a trading-fee discount and a regular share of the venue's fee income. Exchange tokens tie an asset's value not to a blockchain but to one company's turnover — the more that is traded on the platform, the more is distributed to holders. KCS trades outside the exchange too, yet its purpose stays inside that ecosystem, and its risks are corporate rather than protocol-level. The fee-sharing template was later copied by other venues.

KuCoin is ranked #78 by market capitalisation, at 1.07B $. Market capitalisation is price multiplied by circulating supply, so it moves with both — a coin can climb the ranking without its price rising, simply by issuing more.
Over the last twelve months the price of KCS fell by 51.8 %. That is the change of the quote itself and says nothing about what comes next: crypto drawdowns of tens of percent within a year are ordinary, not exceptional.
KuCoin is the native coin of its own blockchain: transaction fees in that network are paid in it, and its issuance is set by the protocol rather than by a contract on someone else's chain.
