KuCoin, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, announced on Tuesday, July 17th, that it has launched its $2 billion Trust Project. In a blog post, KuCoin added that the $2 billion Trust Project is more than a technological investment; it is a promise to the users and to the future of cryptocurrency.
With KCS (KuCoin Token) at the core of the Trust Project, KuCoin added that its users help shape the future of the platform through governance and rewards. The project is a commitment by KuCoin to keep pushing forward, protecting users’ interests, and building a better world of crypto.
In an open letter to the community, KuCoin CEO Johnny Lyu talked about the platform’s journey over the last five years and what to look forward to. According to the CEO, since 2020, KuCoin has worked tirelessly to build a secure and trustworthy environment for our global community. Over these five years, the company has invested heavily in cutting-edge security infrastructure, protecting user assets and data through rigorous protocols and advanced technologies.
In 2022, KuCoin launched its monthly Proof of Reserves (PoR) initiative, enhancing transparency and accountability to better protect users’ interests. The CEO added that,
“In 2025, KuCoin earned SOC 2 Type II Certification—a milestone achieved through years of hard work, testing vulnerabilities, and securing every system. Together with our ISO 27001:2022 certifications, this places KuCoin among the most secure global platforms, meeting the highest international standards.
With five regulatory licenses already in hand, we are now pursuing a MiCAR license to further ensure compliance and transparency, while expanding our global reach. We don’t just aim to meet regulatory expectations—we work with authorities around the world to help shape them.”
In terms of security, KuCoin has also taken several bold initiatives to ensure the safety of funds and data on its platform. KuCoin’s real-time, multi-dimensional SLA dashboards monitor platform performance around the clock. Capacity planning and resource buffers ensure smooth operation during surges in activity, while battle-tested Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) allow the exchange to scale rapidly under pressure, and its global bounty program continues to draw top talent to reinforce its defenses.
Furthermore, KuCoin’s spot v3 system includes raft replay capabilities for future audits. Together, these innovations have made KuCoin a true security stronghold.
This latest development comes roughly a month after KuCoin partnered with AEON to further enhance its Web3 Mobile payment capabilities across online and offline retail environments.
