AXIS KuCoin listing: what, when and where

This is a futures listing, not a spot one. The KuCoin announcement is titled "KuCoin Futures New Listing: AXISUSDT Perpetual Contract with Up to 20x Leverage". KuCoin's announcement API dates it 04:33 UTC (07:33 MSK) on 22 October 2026, and our tracker recorded it at the same minute. The page states the launch as "2026-10-22 7:00 (UTC): AXISUSDT-Margined Perpetual Contract, supporting 1-20x leverage". As of 22 October 2026 at 04:48 UTC, KuCoin's contract API showed the market as open with no trades yet, and its first-open date matches 07:00 UTC.

Contract terms as KuCoin's contract API showed them on 22 October 2026:

• Symbol AXISUSDTM, a perpetual with no expiry. One contract equals 10 AXIS; tick size 0.00001.
• Funding is capped at +2.00% / -2.00% and settles every four hours.
• Initial margin 5% and maintenance margin 2.5% at the base risk tier. KuCoin can change these as market risk changes.

Higher leverage shrinks the distance to liquidation. The liquidation price calculator shows where that line sits for your entry.

What the token is

According to CoinGecko, Axis Robotics (also called Axis AI) is building a distributed scaling infrastructure and data engine for physical AI and robotics. Contributors guide robots through tasks in large-scale simulations, and those interactions become training data for foundation models, with a crypto-native reward system for data collection. CoinGecko lists a Base contract and the site axisrobotics.ai, and ranked the token 435 by market cap on 22 October 2026. We did not verify the team, audits or token distribution, so we do not describe them.

Supply at listing

CoinGecko showed these figures on 22 October 2026:

• Circulating supply: 165 million AXIS.
• Total and max supply: 1 billion.
• Market cap: about $52.7 million; fully diluted value: about $319.4 million.

That is 16.5% of the maximum supply in circulation, so most of it is not yet circulating. We have no verified unlock schedule and do not guess one.
