About KuCoin
KuCoin is a cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2017, known for its extensive selection of altcoins and early listings of new projects. The exchange supports over 700 cryptocurrencies. Note: KuCoin operates in a regulatory gray area in the US and is not officially available to American users. KuCoin offers spot trading, margin trading, futures, and a variety of earning products. The platform features built-in trading bots that allow users to automate their trading strategies. The KCS token provides fee discounts and a share of trading fees. KuCoin was hacked in 2020 for $280 million but recovered most funds and has since improved security.
