Signal Score History by Exchange: How the Leaderboard Has Changed Since 2024
Signal scores aren't just snapshots — they tell a story. Here's how the leaderboard has evolved over the past two years.
The Big Movers (2024 → 2026)
| Exchange | Score Q1 2024 | Score Q1 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coinbase | 58 | 86 | +28 |
| OKX | 61 | 83 | +22 |
| Kraken | 44 | 77 | +33 |
| Bybit | 53 | 74 | +21 |
| Gemini | 71 | 62 | -9 |
| KuCoin | 68 | 38 | -30 |
| HTX | 55 | 41 | -14 |
What the Trends Tell Us
Winners (Coinbase, OKX, Kraken, Bybit): All four are in major expansion mode. The score increases track with aggressive hiring across multiple categories simultaneously.
KuCoin: The sharpest decline — driven entirely by regulatory remediation needs post-DOJ action. Operational hiring has essentially stopped.
Gemini: Moderate decline reflecting post-Genesis/Earn rebuilding, but score is recovering (was 47 in mid-2025, now back to 62).
The Forward Look
Score trajectories predict announcement patterns. Rising scores = more predictions generating. Falling scores = quieter periods with less actionable intelligence.
