The global cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin’s derivatives trading platform, KuCoin Futures, has undergone an extensive upgrade aimed at enhancing execution certainty, fortifying risk management, and simplifying trading for high-frequency and professional users. In order to decrease slippage, increase operational efficiency, and reduce latency during times of significant market volatility, the rollout offers four new features: Pre-Market Futures, Hedge Mode, One-Tap Reverse, and Market Close.
The upgrade comes after a number of product evaluations and user-focused development cycles that were carried out throughout KuCoin’s global tour. The firm claims that the update strategy was influenced by direct discussions with partners and active traders, which helped identify key spots of friction in derivatives trading. Order execution, position managing, and risk reduction are just a few of the crucial elements of the trading lifecycle that are improved by the new infrastructure.
Pre-Market Futures helps traders take action prior to the official market opening by giving them early access to order books, facilitating price discovery and pre-market hedging. With distinct liquidation levels, fee computations, and margin requirements, Hedge Mode allows for simultaneous long and short positions on the same contract, providing more flexibility and protection in erratic markets. While Market Close allows customers to immediately withdraw all open orders at market price, lowering exposure during rapid market swings, One-Tap Reverse offers a quick, one-click way to invert positions.
Jack, Global Head of Business at KuCoin Futures, commented:
“Our progress is inseparable from user support; we always focus on users’ trading experience. At every stop of the Global Tour, we conduct one-to-one reviews with partners and professional traders, turning the most urgent pain points into a clear product task list. The consolidated launch of four capabilities puts ‘faster execution, more stable risk control, and higher capital efficiency’ into actual tools, helping users make more certain decisions in volatile conditions. Next, we will maintain high-frequency iterations and a closed feedback loop, moving from ‘usable’ to ‘easy to use,’ and then to ‘frequently used.’”
KuCoin Futures has shown consistent increase in trading activity and platform indicators since the second quarter of 2025. According to Coinglass, the platform is presently ranked fourth in the world for derivatives volume, and its CoinMarketCap derivatives ranking is continually rising, demonstrating the value of its user-centric enhancements.
With comprehensive documentation and access instructions incorporated into the product interface, all new features are now accessible on both online and mobile platforms. The update is a component of KuCoin Futures’ larger plan to provide useful tools that tackle real trading difficulties and support long-term market growth.
