KuCoin Launches $2B Trust Project to Boost Crypto Security and Transparency

KuCoin, a leading tier-1 cryptocurrency exchange, has unveiled new milestones in its commitment to user security and transparency. CEO BC Wong recently announced the launch of the $2 billion Trust Project, a bold initiative designed to enhance platform stability and safeguard user assets.

In 2025, KuCoin achieved the SOC 2 Type II certification, reinforcing its status as one of the world’s most secure digital asset platforms. The exchange also holds the ISO 27001:2022 certification and consistently publishes Proof of Reserves (PoR), ensuring real-time transparency of user assets.

BC Wong emphasized that KuCoin is committed to building long-term trust through industry-leading practices. The exchange employs a zero-trust architecture, advanced encryption key management, and robust privacy safeguards to eliminate security gaps and protect sensitive user data. Additionally, KuCoin’s multi-layered SLA dashboards monitor system performance 24/7, ensuring uninterrupted service—even during high-traffic periods—thanks to strong capacity planning and operational SOPs.

As part of its ongoing roadmap, KuCoin plans to integrate AI-powered risk detection tools to preempt threats and further enhance platform integrity. These technologies, combined with blockchain-based auditability, create a transparent and resilient ecosystem.

Wong’s open letter to the KCS community reflected on past industry instability and KuCoin’s proactive response. “When users asked, ‘Are my assets safe?’ we didn’t just listen—we acted,” he said, referring to KuCoin’s ongoing monthly PoR initiative.

The $2 billion Trust Project represents KuCoin’s forward-thinking approach to user protection, designed to uphold the core values of transparency, security, and innovation. As the global crypto industry evolves, KuCoin positions itself as a leader committed to empowering users and transforming digital finance securely.
