The platform, which has more than 41 million registered users, has established new security and compliance standards.
The cornerstones of KuCoin’s success and its primary strategic focus have always been security and compliance. By obtaining SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 certifications, KuCoin strengthened its standing and shown its dedication to user protection. KuCoin is one of the top four safest exchanges in the world, with a AAA grade by CER.live. Up to $250 million in insurance coverage is part of its integration with BitGo’s Go Network for institutional-grade custody. The $2 billion Trust Project, a sustained commitment to the KuCoin community, includes several initiatives.
By submitting a MiCA license application in the EU and assisting with the official launch of KuCoin Thailand, the first fully regulated local digital asset exchange under the KuCoin brand, licensed by the Thai SEC, in 2025, KuCoin advanced its compliance efforts and achieved a major milestone in its mission to create quick, safe, and easy-to-use infrastructure for cryptocurrency users around the world. These initiatives demonstrate KuCoin’s commitment to complying with international regulations while entering important countries like MENA and LATAM, where spot trading volume has increased by double digits.
KuCoin advances via innovation. With its worldwide expansion, KuCoin Pay made it possible to use cryptocurrency for real-world services, including retail transactions in Southeast Asia with AEON’s VietQR and QR Ph codes. In addition to introducing 8.5% KCS reward for top customers, KuCard saw a 30% increase in transaction volume. Thanks to AI advancements, the Trading Bot platform saw a 40% rise in trade volume, with 8.9 million bots generated. To accommodate a wide variety of trading preferences, more than 170 additional tokens and 106 futures assets were introduced.
KuCoin’s social influence is evident beyond its commercial significance. Initiatives that received the UNWWO CSR Award included the distribution of 5,000 menstruation kits and 9,700 solar lights, which had an effect on over 50,000 lives. Top rankings from CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, as well as “Best Crypto Exchange 2025” from Forbes Advisor and CoinBureau, are examples of industry honors.
KuCoin’s commitment to trust, innovation, and global leadership is evident in the first half of 2025. Looking forward, the platform is preparing to enter new markets in a number of areas and is well-positioned to help create a more robust, safe, and inclusive future for cryptocurrency globally in the remaining months of 2025.
