KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, announced on Wednesday, April 30th, that it has committed $2 billion to its newly launched “Trust Project,” a long-term initiative aimed at strengthening transparency, enhancing platform security, advancing compliance, and promoting responsible innovation across the cryptocurrency industry. 

In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, KuCoin revealed that the announcement was made by BC Wong, CEO of the crypto exchange, during his keynote address at TOKEN2049 Dubai, held from April 30 to May 1, 2025.

Oliver Stauber, CEO of KuCoin EU, joined BC on stage to jointly present KuCoin’s renewed commitment to building a more resilient and trustworthy digital asset platform to an audience of over 15,000 industry leaders, regulators, and crypto enthusiasts.

Their keynote, titled “The Trust Gap in Crypto: Building Platforms That Deserve to Win,” talked about the next phase of crypto adoption and how it should be achieved by proactive accountability and institutional-grade trust.
