About KuCoin

Key facts, ownership and where it is regulated.

KuCoin is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2017, where people buy and sell digital assets. It runs spot markets, where assets change hands right away, and derivatives markets, where people trade contracts tied to an asset's value. Trading bots that place trades on their own are also available.

Deposits on KuCoin are crypto only. The exchange publishes a monthly proof of reserves, a record users can check to see that their funds are held, and it has its own exchange token, KCS.
