What to know:
- Buck Labs has launched the Buck crypto token, designed as a yield-bearing savings coin for users seeking returns on dollar-denominated crypto holdings.
- The token is backed by Strategy shares and offers rewards targeted at around 7% annually, with returns accruing minute-by-minute.
- Buck is structured as a governance token, allowing holders to vote on reward distribution, and is initially intended for non-U.S. users.
Cayman Islands-registered Buck Labs has introduced the "BUCK" crypto token, positioning it as a yield-bearing “savings coin” aimed at users seeking returns on dollar-denominated crypto holdings without relying on traditional stablecoins.
The token is backed by shares in Strategy (MSTR) shares, the largest corporate holder of bitcoin with nearly 675,000 BTC on its balance sheet.

BUCK is initially priced at $1 and is designed to distribute rewards currently targeted at around 7% annually, with returns accruing on a minute-by-minute basis, Travis VanderZanden, founder and CEO of Buck Labs, told CoinDesk. BUCK is not marketed as a stablecoin and does not maintain a hard dollar peg, meaning its price may fluctuate based on market conditions.
Rewards distributed to holders are funded indirectly through the foundation’s treasury holdings of Strategy’s bitcoin-linked perpetual preferred stock, known as STRC, which pays periodic income to the treasury. Strategy and its chairman Michael Saylor are not affiliated with Buck and do not sponsor or endorse the token.
“Every healthy economy needs both a way to spend and a way to save, which is why Buck introduces the SavingsCoin,” said VanderZanden, who previously held leadership roles at Bird, Lyft and Uber. “Stablecoins have become very good at moving money, but Buck is designed for what happens in between, earning rewards on idle capital.
BUCK is structured as a governance token, with holders allowed to vote on reward distribution and other protocol decisions. The company said the token is intended for non-U.S. users initially and is not being offered as a security.
VanderZanden said the product is aimed at users who want predictable crypto-based returns without actively trading. “People want a simple way to earn rewards in crypto without becoming speculators,” he said. “Buck is designed to make saving in crypto more intuitive.”
Buck Labs said the product is designed to complement, rather than replace, existing stablecoins by offering a savings-focused alternative for longer-term holdings.

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.

Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale
The post Why This New Trending Meme Coin Is Being Dubbed The New PEPE After Record Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:13 The meme coin market is heating up once again as traders look for the next breakout token. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to build its ecosystem and PEPE holds onto its viral roots, a new contender, Layer Brett (LBRETT), is gaining attention after raising more than $3.7 million in its presale. With a live staking system, fast-growing community, and real tech backing, some analysts are already calling it “the next PEPE.” Here’s the latest on the Shiba Inu price forecast, what’s going on with PEPE, and why Layer Brett is drawing in new investors fast. Shiba Inu price forecast: Ecosystem builds, but retail looks elsewhere Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to develop its broader ecosystem with Shibarium, the project’s Layer 2 network built to improve speed and lower gas fees. While the community remains strong, the price hasn’t followed suit lately. SHIB is currently trading around $0.00001298, and while that’s a decent jump from its earlier lows, it still falls short of triggering any major excitement across the market. The project includes additional tokens like BONE and LEASH, and also has ongoing initiatives in DeFi and NFTs. However, even with all this development, many investors feel the hype that once surrounded SHIB has shifted elsewhere, particularly toward newer, more dynamic meme coins offering better entry points and incentives. PEPE: Can it rebound or is the momentum gone? PEPE saw a parabolic rise during the last meme coin surge, catching fire on social media and delivering massive short-term gains for early adopters. However, like most meme tokens driven largely by hype, it has since cooled off. PEPE is currently trading around $0.00001076, down significantly from its peak. While the token still enjoys a loyal community, analysts believe its best days may be behind it unless…
