About KuCoin
KuCoin is an "exchange for altcoin enthusiasts," offering more than 900 cryptocurrencies and regularly listing new projects, often before Binance. In 2020, it suffered a $281 million hack, but all customer funds were recovered or reimbursed through its insurance fund. Since 2025, KuCoin has operated in the EU as a licensed crypto-asset service provider (CASP) under the MiCA regulation, with a license issued by Austria's Financial Market Authority (FMA) to KuCoin EU Exchange GmbH. This places it among regulated exchanges legally available to EU users.
