KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has released its H1 2025 report, outlining key achievements across security, compliance, market expansion, and product innovation. The platform, which now counts over 41 million registered users, continues to strengthen its global position while deepening its commitment to building a secure, compliant, and user-centric trading environment. Security and regulatory compliance remain foundational to KuCoin’s strategy. In the first half of 2025, the exchange achieved SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 certifications, reinforcing its adherence to internationally recognized standards in information security management. It also received an AAA rating from CER.live, placing KuCoin among the top four most secure exchanges globally. Institutional-grade protections were further enhanced through integration with BitGo’s Go Network, offering custody services with insurance coverage of up to $250 million. These initiatives fall under KuCoin’s $2 billion Trust Project, an ongoing effort to promote transparency, safety, and long-term user confidence. On the regulatory front, KuCoin made significant strides. It submitted a MiCA license application in the European Union in anticipation of the region’s upcoming regulations for crypto assets. At the same time, it launched KuCoin Thailand, the first fully regulated digital asset exchange under the KuCoin brand. Licensed by Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the new platform marks a significant step in KuCoin’s efforts to localize its operations in key strategic regions. The company also reported double-digit growth in spot trading volume across emerging markets in the MENA and LATAM regions, further underscoring its global expansion strategy. Innovation has remained a central focus. KuCoin Pay expanded internationally, enabling crypto payments for real-world transactions through integrations such as AEON’s VietQR and QR Ph codes across Southeast Asia. KuCard, the exchange’s crypto debit solution, recorded more than 30% growth in transaction volume and introduced an 8.5% KCS cashback feature for high-tier users. Meanwhile, KuCoin’s Trading Bot platform saw a surge in adoption, with over 8.9 million bots created and a 40% increase in trading volume, driven mainly by new AI enhancements. The exchange also added over 170 new tokens and 106 futures assets, expanding its offering to meet the evolving needs of traders. Beyond product and market growth, KuCoin continued to advance its corporate social responsibility efforts. In the first half of the year, it distributed 9,700 solar lamps and 5,000 menstrual kits, positively impacting more than 50,000 lives. The initiative was recognized with the UNWWO CSR Award. KuCoin has also earned multiple industry accolades, including “Best Crypto Exchange 2025” from Forbes Advisor and CoinBureau, as well as high rankings from CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap. KuCoin’s momentum is also reflected in TokenInsight’s H1 2025 Exchange Industry Report, where the platform ranked among the top five centralized exchanges by market growth. This external validation aligns with the exchange’s internal progress and reinforces its position as a global leader in the crypto space. The full H1 2025 report is available here .
