KuCoin lists MIN and ZIG today, lines up zkPass (ZKP) for Dec 19

KuCoin is stacking spot listings in a tight window, with two tokens going live today and a third scheduled for tomorrow.

The schedule comes from KuCoin’s official listing notices for Minswap (MIN), ZIGChain (ZIG), and a “world premiere” for zkPass (ZKP). KuCoin also pushed the same lineup through its Telegram announcements feed.

Listings are liquidity events, even before “fundamentals” kick in

A CEX listing can change how a token trades in the first 24–72 hours:

More eyes and easier access can increase volume quickly
New order books can create temporary spreads between venues
Deposit and withdrawal rails determine how fast arbitrage tightens pricing

The practical takeaway: these windows can be volatile, especially around the call auction and the first hour of live trading.

Call auctions can produce fast price discovery

KuCoin uses a call auction period before opening full trading for these spot pairs. In practice, call auctions compress a lot of price discovery into a short timeframe, which can lead to sharp early moves once the order book goes fully live.

Quick project context

Minswap (MIN)

Minswap is a flagship DEX in the Cardano ecosystem, and KuCoin’s listing positions MIN as a new Cardano-native token entry point for CEX traders.

ZIGChain (ZIG)

ZIGChain is marketed as an L1 focused on wealth generation and real-world asset connectivity. Its KuCoin listing brings a new venue for spot liquidity with deposits enabled on the ZIG Chain network.

zkPass (ZKP)

zkPass pitches a “verifiable internet” idea built around zkTLS-style proofs, where apps can verify facts from HTTPS sources without exposing private data. KuCoin’s “world premiere” framing suggests the exchange is treating this as an early distribution moment.

What to watch as these go live

This is not financial advice, just market structure hygiene.

Deposit and withdrawal stability: if rails are slow, price gaps between exchanges can persist longer
Early depth: shallow books tend to exaggerate both pumps and dumps
Bot activity: when a pair becomes compatible with exchange tools, microstructure often tightens quickly, but chop can increase
The second wave: after the initial listing spike, follow-through volume usually decides whether price consolidates or fades

Conclusion

KuCoin is running a compact listing cycle: MIN and ZIG open trading today (Dec 18), while ZKP is queued for Dec 19. For traders, the key is timing: call auction windows and transfer rails can dictate how wild the first few hours get, and whether early spreads normalize quickly or linger.
