KuCoin, one of the leading crypto exchanges in the world, has released its 2025 Annual Review, titled “A Renewed Brand. A Year Built on Trust.”
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, the report highlights a pivotal year in the company’s evolution, marked by a clear strategic focus on compliance, security, and long-term platform sustainability.
2025 was a Transformative Year for KuCoin
In its review, KuCoin described 2025 as a transformative year. The transformation was guided by KuCoin’s mission to build a trusted blockchain infrastructure that enables the secure and transparent flow of value.
In 2025, the crypto exchange transitioned from a phase defined by resilience into a new era shaped by trust, regulatory alignment, and institutional maturity.
Key milestones recorded this year included major compliance progress in Europe and Australia, the launch of a USD $2 billion Trust Project, and the completion of four internationally recognized security certifications, laying the foundation for KuCoin’s next stage of development.
Furthermore, KuCoin delivered steady operational performance throughout 2025. This is evident by the average daily spot trading volume reaching $4.76 billion, representing 55% year-on-year growth.
In addition to that, futures trading averaged $6.47 billion per day, up approximately 30% year-on-year, ranking KuCoin fourth globally by futures volume. These results were achieved without compromising KuCoin’s long-term priorities, as operational growth in 2025 was deliberately anchored in security, transparency, and risk discipline.
Security Remains KuCoin’s Primary Priority
KuCoin was able to achieve so much in 2025 without compromising the security of its platform. This year, KuCoin achieved the industry’s “Quadruple Crown” of security certifications, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and CCSS.
The platform also maintained 36 consecutive months of Proof of Reserves verification, independently audited by Hacken, and was ranked number one globally for security by CER.live.
A key part of this was the launch of KuCoin’s USD $2 billion Trust Project, designed to strengthen asset protection, risk controls, and long-term operational resilience.
In terms of regulation, KuCoin made significant advances this year. In Australia, the company secured AUSTRAC registration and established a dedicated local office in Sydney.
In Europe, KuCoin obtained a MiCA license through KuCoin EU, enabling operations under the European Union’s unified regulatory framework.
In addition to that, the company submitted an official application to Turkey’s Capital Markets Board (SPK), aligning with local regulatory requirements.
KuCoin Rolled Out Several Products in 2025
In terms of product development, KuCoin was one of the most active exchanges in 2025. The crypto exchange expanded participation products such as GemPool, HODLer Airdrops, and Spotlight, supporting user engagement with structured protection mechanisms.
The platform also launched KIA, KuCoin’s crypto-native AI assistant, alongside KuCoin Feed, an AI-powered market intelligence hub.
In addition to that, KuCoin upgraded user experiences with the rollout of KuCoin App 4.0 and KuCoin Lite. These products balanced advanced functionality with improved accessibility.
Additionally, the mining ecosystem expanded through the integration of KuMining and KuPool, achieving a top-four global ranking in LTC/DOGE hashrate.
While commenting on the achievements this year, BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, said:
“2025 required us to make deliberate choices focused on long-term responsibility rather than short-term momentum. Compliance and security are not optional for KuCoin — they are foundational to how we protect users and contribute to the industry’s sustainable future.”
Founded in 2017, KuCoin is a leading global crypto platform trusted by over 40 million users across 200+ countries and regions. The platform delivers innovative and compliant digital asset services, offering access to 1,000+ listed tokens, spot and futures trading, institutional wealth management, and a Web3 wallet.
