KuCoin, a global cryptocurrency exchange leader, provided some key highlights of its activities within the first half of the year. These activities are marked by strong growth, bold innovation, and enhanced compliance.
With over 41 million registered users, the platform also set new benchmarks for security and compliance.
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, the cryptocurrency exchange pointed out that security and compliance have always been its top strategic priorities and the foundation of its success.
KuCoin solidified its position by achieving SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 certifications, underscoring its commitment to user safety. An AAA rating from CER.live ranks KuCoin among the top four most secure exchanges worldwide.
Furthermore, the crypto exchange’s integration with BitGo’s Go Network for institutional-grade custody includes up to $250 million in insurance coverage. These efforts are part of the $2 billion Trust Project, a long-term commitment to the KuCoin community.
In the first half of the year, KuCoin advanced its compliance efforts by submitting a MiCA license application in the EU and supporting the official opening of KuCoin Thailand - the first fully regulated local digital asset exchange under the KuCoin brand, licensed by the Thai SEC. This latest development marked a significant milestone in KuCoin’s mission to build fast, secure, and user-friendly infrastructure for crypto users worldwide.
KuCoin Pay expanded globally, enabling crypto payments for real-world services, such as retail purchases via AEON’s VietQR and QR Ph codes in Southeast Asia. The cryptocurrency exchange revealed that KuCard experienced over 30% growth in transaction volume and introduced 8.5% KCS cashback for high-tier users. The Trading Bot platform, with 8.9 million bots created, experienced a 40% increase in trading volume, driven by AI enhancements. Over 170 new tokens and 106 futures assets were added, catering to a diverse range of trading preferences.
KuCoin’s social impact is another area of interest. Initiatives that distributed 9,700 solar lamps and 5,000 menstrual kits impacted over 50,000 lives and earned the UNWWO CSR Award. Industry accolades include “Best Crypto Exchange 2025” from Forbes Advisor and CoinBureau, alongside top rankings from CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap.
The first half of 2025 reflects KuCoin’s dedication to trust, innovation, and global leadership. As it looks ahead, the crypto exchange is planning new market entries in several regions and is poised to shape a more secure, inclusive, and resilient future for crypto worldwide in the remainder of 2025.
