Correction
2026-03-09

KuCoin regulatory language corrected

Removed language describing KuCoin as a "regulated exchange" without qualification. Updated to reflect the January 2025 DOJ enforcement action, guilty plea, and closure of U.S. user accounts. Added enforcement history section and risk banner. Previous language was misleading for U.S.-based readers.

Score Change
2026-03-09

KuCoin trust score adjusted from 6.5 to 5.5

Trust score reduced to reflect the severity of the DOJ enforcement action and the guilty plea. Editorial score remains at 7.0 as the product itself is functional for users in supported jurisdictions.
