Hi Everyone!

I wrote up a nice review of KuCoin. I would love to hear your thoughts on the exchange and their features.

https://blog.shrimpy.io/blog/kucoin-review

Please let me know if you have any questions about the review!

What I am most interested in in this exchange is that the trading volume is still very low and many coins have not had great liquidity, so listing at this exchange is really risky. I think Kucoin needs to work better to compete with other exchanges because this is only my 4th choice in trading and hoping that Kucoin can listen to customers more because new exchange recently outperformed Kucoin

This exchange has placed on 28th place as the biggest exchange site https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/  still far above rather than bittrex and poloniex. Kucoin isn't best exchange for me (i have my own reason why i said that), but despite from that, they are still better than other smaller exchanges. They even have their own coin (KCS)

After I get the boot from Binance (as a US trader) I will probably turn to Kucoin. It has better liquidity than Bittrex, Poloniex, and others. Decent enough interface. Still offers unverified accounts to US traders with the same withdrawal limits as Binance......not sure how long that'll last though!

Binance cuts us off in two months. I think Kucoin will get a bump in volume at that time.

I am never use KuCoin exchange platform, i see treade volume for ERC20 token is to low in this platform. I prefer to use Binance and Coinall to trade.

I knew that Kucoin had been established for a long time and had some achievements. but it is still a small exchange and its volume is not really high.
This greatly hampers their development. besides, they did not keep up with the IEO trend, opportunities for exchange to become more popular. they do not have airdrop programs or any good event to develop their exchange.
Even if their technology is good, the transaction fee is cheap, but if not many investors believe, it is still a normal exchange.

It's one of the best exchanges that i've used but I haven't used them recently because there's better exchanges. If the exchanges that i'm currently using suddenly blocks my account I might move to KuCoin. The rating on the review seems too high imo, if I would rate KuCoin i'll give them 4.5 because I think there's still room for them to add more altcoin pairs in their list. It could boost their numbers even more if they add the right altcoins(an example is doge).

I have seen their security systems, I don't know how many people checked their security before but I have seen it and man you can't believe how amazing it is, they are literally the greatest exchange in my book when it comes to security, I am not challenging anyone so don't get the wrong idea :D but I doubt anyone could hack them or even if they do can get anything out of them if they hack it neither, to me kucoin is by far the most trustworthy exchange for wallet use as well if you just want to leave your coins there.

They might have some other stuff they lack of course and you can find this bad or that bad about them but when it comes to security then I am giving them a full on 100/100 from all others I have seen in my life, they really do care about that the most.

I read some negative feedback about Kucoin a year or two ago when they changed their listing policy and not honor the previous listing agreements with other projects. That's probably one reason why it hasn't been a top ten exchange until now. Their security seems tight and their native token has some great utilities.

Kucoin disappointed me, I thought it'll follow the full steps of Binance. Kucoin was doing very well just as Binance was until the bear market took the price of her native token down to an unrecoverable price and ever since kucoin has lost most of her traders. And they didn't show any concerns towards encouraging traders to use their exchange. Most traders saw kucoin as Binance 2.0 but they didn't live up to that expectations and that's what contributed to thier failure. I don't consider them the best exchange infact I no longer used them for trading.

I did not use this exchange site platform because for me this isn't the best exchange was I going to trade. Let's say maybe Kucoin was following the step of Binance but they had a different result on liquidity, Kucoin has less volume compared to Binance and that is not best for me. One of my friends told me that the withdraw process usually takes 2-3 days which is making me annoy if ever I am also there. Overall ratings I'll give Kucoin 8.5 over 10 ratings, better than HitBTC exchange. :D

Well it could be the next big exchange, but if you look at the competition there is still Binance on top of the game already. So it will be very difficult to overcome. But personally, I didn't have any issues with Kucoin, so experience wise it is recommendable.

Binance is definitely at the very top, but it all comes down to where US clients will be trading in the coming months. If they take their liquidity to an exchange as Kucoin then we could be up for a pleasant surprise.

I say pleasant because Binance has grown far too big, so them dumping their US clients will make the crypto industry as a whole stronger because there is more distribution.

I personally will keep using Binance as European citizen, but I'm not too demanding anyway in terms of liquidity because I'm just a small fish. I could trade pretty much anywhere as long as the spreads are reasonably tight.

Kucoin is one of the good and belong to top exchange anyhow in the market.
And every platform has a privilege to become the best exchange, that would depend on the huge
numbers of their traders or investors who will buy coins to their platform. And I like Kucoin, because it has
low transaction charge too.  

Trading up between Binance and Kucoin exchange and just like on what being said above when it comes to security Kucoin is much preferable.
Its just a matter of reference though on what exchange suits your needs or makes you comfortable yet these 2 exchange is on top tier ones so theres
no need to worry.

I wonder why nowadays most exchanges and ICO are now excluding US residents from using their services or investing..? They are losing a huge user base and of course money I've heard it's because of regulations but I couldn't find any clear information about it

Edit: Just found out that 15% of Binance clients are from USA!

---

As of Kucoin, I would say it's decent but how they manage their own token KCS is nowhere close to how Binance manages BNB; Binance coin has strong utitily and it's tokenomic is very well handled by Binance unlike Kucoin.

Hope it's a honest review, just for the sake of newbies.
I have been eying the exchange for awhile now,  unfortunately there are quite a number of negative reviews about it .. whether they are honest reviews or not, I don't know

Cucoin is a pretty good exchange because it is included in the top 20 best exchanges at the moment but on top of that there are still some pretty good exchanges for example binance in the first rank and followed by coinbase, indodax, hitbtc and a few more in the top 10 exchanges  the best at the moment, you could say it's one of the best exchanges at the moment

Not the best but they are tier 2
Hard to compete with Binance with everything they are achieving

It's just regulatory pressure. US regulators are the most feared and they will not shy away from whooping your entire platform if you don't comply with their set of rules.

Binance is a mega exchange; it's impossible for them to hide like for example an exchange such as Yobit that doesn't care about anything. In that regard, we can only be happy that Binance is playing it smart, because US regulators have shown their teeth and don't shy away from seizing the assets of a non compliant exchange.

We'll see how BAM trading services (their US partner) will fare when it comes to regaining the US users that will now look for a new home.

I prefer a price surge with a small volume. the difference was very interesting and was not found in the big exchange.
binance is more suitable for those who have large capital.

I have the Kucoin application for smartphone and so does Binance.
No, it is not yet Kucoin which is the best. I still prefer Binance using BNB for cheaper transaction fees and other stuffs.
Plus, its price is getting enormous so no doubt they still have the most usage of all the exchanges out there.

But it is a good thing to have a great exchange as an alternative. I use Kucoin for that.  ;D

Kucoin are a good exchange, but the best exchange is still at binance. with the largest volume, of course this exchange is in demand by most traders. but that does not mean that I do not need a Kucoin because some of my tokens are available on coins and have not been listed in binance

For now we cannot compared binance with kucoin! Binance has strong team and it has been with us for long time now. Most of the good tokens are listed in binance and i have see unexpected volume for some of the new tokens listed there. Kucoin has good technology and been able to trade fiat and crypto is one of the features that many exchange do not have and this has bring kucoin to lime light. I have account with kucoin that is verified and their KYC process is one of the processes that every new cryptocurrency exchange platform should adopt.

Kucoin looks like it is dying a slow painful death.  Barely anyone I know uses that exchange anymore and Kucoin Shares have dropped a lot since they no longer payout much in trading fees.  People have moved over to better exchanges already.

Despite that sad fact, Kucoin is still a decent exchange. Like someone said above, it should be on top of tier 2 exchages. The problem with Kucoin is that its marketing running really well. It doesn't have attractive IEOs to gather people's attention like Binance, Okex or Huobi. Loosing users means loosing volume. Hope Kucoin team can see this and take appropriate mesures to bring it back.

Kucoin has been getting more and more trading pairs with the increase in the trading volume. Often the exchange too is providing with some form of discounts on trading fee to make more people use kucoin exchange. Kucoin has got good security features in comparison to other exchanges in its range.

Still without volume though. The price of its native coin is climbing but its really convincing to see because its volume isn't comparable to the ones above it. The most known  still binance and though I don't trade much there, I did verify my account to make sure I can get in and get out without delays unlike with Kucoin my account there is unverified.


an exchange with BTC/USD pair will normally have volume, pairing USD to most alcoins would make it better.

I used to love it, but i quitted using that near the top of the bear market (accidentally good timing). Just because of their lack of proper English customer service. First i thought that it could be the language barrier but after a while i realized that they just didn't know any answers to any questions. Not sure how much they have trained their staff after that. Hopefully it will be a success but i am using other exchanges in the meanwhile.

Nobody should be using an exchange for a wallet, full stop.

What's so great about their security? How are you so confident they can't be hacked? I think any exchange can be hacked.

I just like that Kucoin allows Americans and has unverified accounts that can withdraw up to 2 BTC per day. Liquidity-wise it's definitely not Binance, but it's much better than Poloniex or Bittrex.

When I checked the rank of kucoin at the coinmarketcap it was the level of between top 50 to 53, and for me it is one of the good and best exchange. I never heard any issues from it, since I started to used this platform. In fact, I actually hold some of it, due to its minting when you buy em to their platform.

Kucoin is a good cryptocurrency exchange, there is no doubt in it. I also traded on this exchange and I have not encountered any serious problem till now. So, in my opinion, this exchange will be transformed into a large exchange in the future.

US SEC. They still have the duty to protect their citizens from those scammy ICO's, so by law they are mandated. That's why Binance will launch its own trading US based platform. They don't want to missed out the huge US markets.

I agree that Binance is still a cut above those exchanges including Kucoin. Just look at how Binance is really doing, besides the usual shilling, it has a good utility that is why investors are flocking into BNB and Kucoin is just way far behind is second place.

It all depends on the trader's comfort. Great chart views, user-friendly and easy to navigate. I know KuCoin is one nice trading platform but not the highest volume of the major coins so far. Volume is one of the major consideration when I choose where to trade. Orders are easily filled up when the volume is high.

Exchange kucoin is really a great place to buy and sell altcoin in the crypto market but even if prestige and quality are guaranteed, people still don't like this exchange because when standing in parallel and in the same field with it, it's a binance exchange with full of positive and new features constantly updated. And with such a giant king, the kucoin exchange is almost impossible to have a competition with binance, even over time, the distance between the two will increase when binance is creating too much impression

No way. Although it has reached a very strong position in the past bull period, I think that there should be no trade on this platform especially in today's conditions. I think that way because this platform is managed very amateurishly and does not have enough trading volume. In particular, if you look carefully at many trading pairs and make a detailed examination, it will be concluded that a very dense portion of the trading volume is created by the bots. For this reason, Kucoin will never be the best in its sector or field. I don't use it, I don't recommend it.

Honesty, I still don’t know, I am quite surprise too at the rate at which Kucoin is being mentioned everywhere now, and it seems the hype is really growing the more. Binance has always been my favorite because as of now, they still remain the best to me, which I may never know if Kucoin is a great exchange or not because I don’t intend testing it since I dint have any issue with the current exchange that I am using.

Binance appears to be flawless really, because when it comes to trading platform, it is very friendly, when it comes to fee, they have an extremely low fee that I feel no one can beat. So if I may ask Kucoin one question, is their fee a competitive one? Because that is what may eventually land them among the top exchanges if their price is competitive in other to attract many investors.

  KuCoin had been so fruitful as far as exchanging gainfulness on a few merchants, and this is presently popular. I considered this trade as the best trade as it wound up trusted and solid regarding positive criticism originating from every client. For whatever length of time that there's smooth exchanges finished with no conditions, it will stay respectable.

There's no doubt Binance is a much better exchange. But US traders don't have any better options. Everything else has KYC and even thinner order books.

I'm curious to see what happens when September rolls around. Not everyone wants to risk violating Binance's terms with a VPN. Kucoin might inherit a chunk of US retail trading liquidity. Hopefully a few market makers too.....

Be good exchange for trading maybe yes, but be the best is something that can't be decided by someone. But maybe if want to review and give good opinion, i think it is ok. But for me any exchange is good because we can use all of it.

There is no doubt Kucoin really a good exchange for trade crypto currency. At this moment it's staying in top 40 crypto currency exchange. The most interesting this about this exchange is very easy to use. Traders are trade their coin very comfortably. And in future if this exchange going smoothly like this one day it become a top 5 crypto exchange in crypto world.

Of course they will, now that Kucoin has even decided to list all Binance chain coin including Binance coin too, and I believe that this is what is already giving Kucoin power, because the way and manner at which people has been speaking of Kucoin is really impressive, I never knew there could be another exchange that can also be this popular, and they are really gaining the attention of users.

Imagine that all the number of trader from US migrate from Binance to Kucoin, that will be a very big plus to Kucoin and minus to Binance. I think Binance really need to consider their decision, they stand to gain more from US than US will gain from them, I know what their trying to avoid is tax, but what about the profit they will get more from US citizens trades.

Personally, I am a fan of kucoin exchange. I have used this exchange aside of using binance and bittrex exchange. approx one year ago and in 2017 when launched the exchange had a lot of volumes like bittrex and poloniex but at this moment this exchange is lack of volume I think. For that kucoin are losing their trader day by day I think. On the other hand, the Graphics the design and the withdrawal/deposit system is really like to me. So I want to say if the volume will increase in kucoin exchange then obviously Kucoin will be a big exchange in the future.

Users experienced will play the big role here, everybody have their own qualifications in terms of being the best, as long as they are  comfortable and satisfied with how an exchange caters their needs it can be accepted as best but claiming to be the best needs to  compete well with many exchange out there which already been tag as the best from this market.

I personally rarely use Kucoin Exchange as a place to sell my tokens, I prefer to use Binance Exchange
than Kucoin. But last year I ever sold a token on Kucoin and I guess it was good Exchange too.

Do not compare kurcoin into the best and pioneer trusted exchange into bittrex, poliniex, coinbase, even binance the can't overtake the 3 tough exchange if speaking into the convinient in trading. I think kurcoin need to more improvement feature to closedly compete into other exchange, specially oldest and trusted exchange use by crypto enthusiasm.

Kucoin can become a big exchange if Bitman supports them. Currently the functions and security in Kucoin are very good and they are just waiting for luck to come to them. In this market, exchanges or exchanges really need the support of Bitman and the large community to help it grow strong and stable.
Bitmax is a good example, they are backed by Bitman and become one of the most influential exchanges after only a few months of operation.

I`m with KuCoin from the beginning, you can check that in my posts. I like them cause they have so many promotions, easy to use, still can trade without KYC, yes there`s a limit but I don`t cross that. Good thing is their coin, I`m a holder and their coin is rising in terms of price, I always get dividends, regularly. Friendly exchange with so many pairs, good volume, great security, simply great exchange. I like kucoin and I will trade there as long as they don`t ask me to do kyc, cause if I do it I will not be able to trade there cause they don`t support my country.

I honestly say that Kucoin is one of the best and one of the top exchange too in the market too.
They have a lot of coins listed to their platform which are almost majority of their coins are very promising,
and one of this are ADA, NRG, UTK, and many more.

I have never left my Binance space too, but the way I am hearing everyone speaking good of Kucoin, I am really tempted to make use of the exchanges so that I can at least have experience of what they are talking about, if I don’t have the experience, there is no way I would know if it is just a hype or it is basically another very great exchange in the making.

I love to celebrate hardworking people, and unlike these other lazy exchanges, I think Kucoin is really going extra mile to create a very wonderful name for themselves, although Binance to me still remain unbeatable, there is just this peace that I feel anytime I am using Binance, and also sense of security, even though many people would say they have been hacked, but I think the security is stringer now.

So far, Kucoin is one of the best exchanges i've ever used. Never experienced any problems with them. But for daily trading, Binance is much better than Kucoin as it has bigger volume which mean it has more liquidity.

I checked their USDC market liquidity. It's pretty terrible. 24-hour volume seems to fluctuate between $50,000 and $400,000 a day, which is a tiny fraction of their BTC/USDT market. I probably can't hedge there without using Tether.

Sigh.....this is why people are still using Tether. The other stablecoins have horrible liquidity. I've been managing okay on Binance using non-USDT stablecoins but that'll be impossible at Kucoin unless some big market makers appear.

for me kucoin isn't bad exchange i like how their costumer service and i see many potential project listed in kucoin . about to become best exchange maybe kucoin can reach top 10 rank on CMC

I had been using Kucoin for a few years now (maybe since end of 2017), so far everything looks okay, no major issue.
But i didn't keep too many coins in there. Better be safe.

Improving maybe, but becoming the best exchange, that's far from happening, right now it's still Binance who is dominating the market with its big volume.
In time maybe as we can't stop surprises and I hope Kucoin will surprise people and with the success of the exchange, it would also be a success for investors.

Since my last transaction with Kucoin it was great experience to share to everyone, and I been doing all my trades at 101% success. Based on that statements that it could become the best exchange for trading, that's certainly a biggest possibility that we should consider. KuCoin is reputable, no security breaches history and yet the service fee is highly affordable.

I am not so sure about this. I think there are still many Crypto Exchanges (https://cryptolinks.com/cryptocurrency-exchange) that are above them. Although, it can certainly change in coming times, so far from what I am aware of they still hold the plot. I still remember when KuCoin came, I was very excited and called it as one that will do well and it’s really pleasant to see that somewhat becoming true. But I will still be honest that there is seriously long distance for them to go when it comes to achieving top level.

Everything is very clear and without any deceitful behavior and Kucoin is one of my top choices. I think with the smart development strategy of Kucoin, this exchange will soon be more widely known in the next few years. I personally see this exchange as having the most accurate trading volume and will continue to use this exchange for a long time so there is nothing to worry about when you are a customer of Kucoin

Kucoin is one of the best exchange in crypto trading even kucoin also registered in Malta and kucoin produce good volume for crypto traders for erc 20 tokens we can take kucoin as best trading platform

No one really knows tomorrow off any projects really, and I would not dispute the fact that there may be chances of them becoming a very big exchange too, but for now, I think they are quite far from becoming the best exchange, most of the exchanges that you have seen better than Kucoin or exchanges that we say are the best have not lost interest in expanding in their own scope too.

The more they expand through series of great products being introduced, the more they become the best, so for Kucoin to meet some of these big exchanges that are known to be best, they must really work so hard and keep coming up with strategies that will be better than exchanges like Binance, Huobi, and few other recognized exchanges that are large.

As of now, binance is the Dominating cryptocurrency exchange, but where are Kucoin is also one of the best exchanges which seems to be legit, i think this exchange is also generating good volumes in the market makes many people have already believed this exchange.

Well, so far I also don't have any problems regarding this exchange. All my transactions or trades went well and I have been loyal for more than a year with this exchange with a pretty good ROI. KuCoin is indeed a fairly young exchange and this exchange is not far removed from the launch of Binance which is now a rival, they have had a very good reputation since it was launched until now.

Kucoin is going to be a competitor for Bitmex, that's why they've created Kumex. Also they repeat the same things as Binance regarding IEO. I don't think it is the best place for trading and I rarely use it although I would try kumex after launch, because I am interested in margin trading

That's a big ambition for them, bitmex (https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bitmex/) has currently over $2 billion volume, while Kucoin only has over $500 million. They need to compete hard if they want to be a close competitor and get some share in the market.

Binance has had a security breach and I would still prefer Binance over Kucoin anyday. And this is coming from a person who hardly uses Binance anyway!

It's the same argument to say like oh my altcoin has never had a security breach so it's so secure!

I do say its Kucoin against Binance, they two have almost the same thng in common.
Binance maybe leading in the total number of asset pairs offered and they both offer asset support category whole having the same basic fee structure. Though, for me, I still think Binance is still the best cause I personally love the interface.

Im not a fan of kucoin, but i know they some significan upgrade.

The site was upgrade a few month ago, but the load of the site was pretty slow than before. I dont know its my internet/hardware or from they side, but to lagging went i visit them, i think to many widget on the platform.

Looks like they are bringing together elements from both Binance and Bitmex: unverified accounts, KCS tokens (like BNB that pays actual dividends), IEOs, and now high leverage derivatives. And they are promising to pay out 50% of the derivative platform revenues to KCS holders, so they're really pumping up the value proposition of KCS.

This is all coming at a time when Bitmex traders are getting spooked by a CFTC probe and Binance is segregating off all their American liquidity. Kucoin is well positioned to rise to the top if they play their cards right! But then the American government will probably start looking into them too.....

That’s also my thought looking at their capital, looks like KuCoin has a bigger goal this time and maybe this is their motivation to do better in the comig years. I’m not doubting KuCoin about this one, every exchange will have their own chance to make a big dream like this if they improve better more investors will invest.

well, coin is currently one of the most popular markets, so it's natural that it can be the best exchange place for now. however, binance is still the best exchange place to date, and has greater potential than coins. so, I think, I need to develop the exchange place again. In the future, of course, Coins also occupy the best places of exchangers.

I completely understand that we do have different opinions about KuCoin, and I hope that everyone would respect that. In marketing terms, every exchange claimed that they are the best in the world due to this, and this, and that, etc.

Although I respect KuCoin, but I honestly disagree that they're the best for now. As of today, Binance is still the most popular exchange up to date (but I'm not saying that they're also the best). I consider all of the exchanges almost equal due to the features and functions quite almost the same.

Most centralised and decentralised exchanges have almost the same features with a little bit of their "unique" feature that may only give less impression to the traders. It's because what the traders are looking for nowadays is the big trading volume of these exchanges despite not assured of its security and safety. It is why I would rather store my assets in a cold wallet rather in exchanges.

At the beginning when I joined the crypto market, I traded many times on Kucoin and I really like the app and interface of Kucoin. Everything is very smooth and the level of security is very high.
but until now, it is still not a large and influential exchange.
Because it needs marketing campaigns and uses its reserve fund to pump the alts listed on their exchanges.
They will become one of the top exchanges if they do so.

Kucoin exchange has been used by many people in 2018 because it is one of many very popular exchanges at that time but after many coins did not have great liquidity at this exchange, Kucoin is no longer trusted by investors.  I think the reason that this exchange is low in volume is because the community of this exchange is very few and some investors have transfers money to a better exchange so the Kucoin needs great improvement before everything worse

I don't think we have best exchange when it comes to exchangers now adays where by most funds in exchange ain't secured any more we have hackers all round and they target exchange than personal wallet that has its private key.

I won't recommend kucoin as the best exchanger so far because Binance has been there before kucoin if am not mistaking and as well as BITTREX. What we should even look out for in exchangers of now are: maximum security of funds and a 24/7 customer service to attend to the community.

Kucoin is one of the many exchanges I have used during this time period and until now this is one of many exchanges that have a very good level of protection and have not had any information regarding being attack . In my opinion, Kucoin only lacks trading volume because this exchange has very poor liquidity. If Kucoin has a more reasonable development strategy then perhaps this exchange is always trusted and used by people

Yes there's already some existing exchanges who more popular than KuCoin, binance already taking the number one spot since more and more traders are trusting this platform even there's already some concerns regarding to that hacked issues but since they've got a good set back plans they able to make things still working in favor of their exchange.

Kucoin has put so mych effort to build the exchange. Their support team, withdrawal procedure is good enough. They don't list a shit coin though, however. After each of the attack in other popular exchange, Kucoin has increased their security level, this is a big factor. Kucoin in future may be top 3 exchange.

I just have to presume your judgement on what best exchanges are, is be affected as you're somehow associated with kucoin or would have to consider this a promotional post. Notice you have once highlighted  kucoin as one of the best exchanges out there on your previous threads. Kucoin came into existence some months after Binance introduction into the cryptocommunity, at first both exchanges looked almost alike in both their interface and website design. Kucoin was usually refered to as Binance 2.0 thinking it'll be the exchange to give Binance a case for their money but over the years kucoin have underperformed and you would notice that if you were a fan of the exchange before now. I don't think there's any reason to classified them as the best when we have the like of Binance out there which offers far more than they can.

This exchange started off very well but with the passage of time it should have growth more.  At the beginning I thought this exchange compete with the binance exchange but after so many months  this exchange fail to compete with other big exchanges. Even bitmax and Okex exchanges has more volume than kucoin exchange.

I think this its just a shiling website for gain a visitor, this thread same like Binance Exchange Review. To much fake & hidden order at Kucoin, i dont really like it also the site was really slow.

Good catch then but if the review is realistic then that's helpful to us.
Posting a referral is only the violation in the forum, posting a site is not I guess when it's relevant to the topic.

Every exchange has that, they have bots to trade so the volume increase, but you are right, Binance is fast and more reliable, but I also think Kucoin is a decent one.

it might happen, as long as I use kucoin exchange, my transactions quite easily and there have never been any obstacles. Although a few months ago, Kucoin was abandoned by many users and dropped to 70th place, but it seems that Kucoin has begun to regain trust even currently ranked 13th in CMC.

I noticed that as well, I was shocked by its improvement as suddenly it's trading with the volume it has before.

Maybe starting to buy https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/kucoin-shares/ now would be a great idea as it's still cheap now, if kucoin will be able to maintain the volume and even increase it, there's a chance that KCS will become like a BNB coin.

As a great exchange and well appreciated in the market, kucoin have developments in trading volume that are always very understandable but the improvements and becoming the best exchange are two unrelated issues. Other exchanges have similar improvements, not just kucoin, therefore at the level of top position competition, the kucoin still can't afford to win some other exchanges, and binance is an extremely strong opponent in this period, from volume to service, always serving perfectly for everyone.

I did not know how perfect Kucoin was until I started using them , Kucoin really has a very simple andnice platform, and they have very good services which is what many traders want, they also have very low trading fee but not like Binance though, but I believe that as they gradually increase in capacity, their fees too will gradually continue to drop.

If I am to advise any trader, especially newbies, other than Binance exchange, anther exchange to be consider would be Kucoin, because Binance is still the best but they have too much people using their exchange and I think a time will come that there network may start becoming too slow due to the overcrowded uses that will engulf their platform. Other exchanges that is see is great again is huobi and bittrex.

KuCoin is still too young. For the short period of its existence, the exchange managed to attract over 2 millions of traders, and this is a real record. It attracts clients with different promotions and tokens that are shared among its customers. It is not the number one exchange, but I guess, we can use it if good rates are offered at KuCoin, and it is very safe.

Kucoin is one of the best Exchange for Trading, I have ever used. Low fees, Strong security impressed me a lots. Therefore I have never faced any kind of problem during trading & withdrawal fund but there have a lot of thing that they should develop & make their exchange better than others

Do you need to send verification first before using it?  Binance does not.

As Kucoin now became in demand on trading with promising coins, I definitely conclude base on my observations that this will be the best exchange for trading. Many trading sites whose reputation is commendable, but also with kucoin they had soar similarly.

If this exchange has a new change in the coming time, Kucoin will soon become one of the best exchanges in this market. During the past time I have always used this exchange when I had a need to join the IEO and always made a huge profit from the projects proposed by Kucoin. Now a lot of new exchanges are competing with Kucoin but I believe that Kucoin should still be a safe choice for all investors.

Has KuCoin been hacked of clients funds yet?  If yes, how did the KuCoin company respond?  Did they refund all users money back?  That is what is most important for now.

Also, what is "Ku"?  What does that stand for? That is the main reason I never signed up for Ku Coin.  What is a Ku? I googled Ku and all I came up with was Kansas University. Are they related?

I'd like a exchange with a name that makes sense.

If KuCoin can give the best services to their member and they can make their member satisfied, I am sure that soon or later, they will get more members to trade in their site. People will think about KuCoin, and if they feel that KuCoin is one of the best exchange, I am sure that they will register on there so they can have an alternative exchange to trade. But it is hard to compete with the existing exchange, especially if those exchanges have reputations among the other exchanges and there is only one way to compete with them by giving the best services to their members.

Nope, they haven't been hacked. I guess they can't be faulted for that. :P


They're from Singapore. Maybe that's a clue. It could be the Mandarin kù, meaning warehouse.....like "warehouse for coins" or something like that.

I've been using kucoin for a year now after my tokens were listed to their exchange.

Im hesitant at first to use kucoin for trading but because of the good features, easy to use app and high security I already stick to it.

Kucoin is not the best exchange but it can also be label as one of the good and reputed exchange that is existing nowadays.

Kucoin has many very good features for trader and it makes me feel very excited when trading at Kucoin. At this point the volume of Kucoin trading is very low but everyone can liquidate it well at this exchange. Anyway, I believe that Kucoin can still become a leading exchange if this exchange has more developed policies in the future and it will certainly happen in 2020.

I think Kucoin also has its good side, before a coin can be listed to big exchanges, it usually has a pump on exchanges like Kucoin, then massive dump when list on big exchanges. Therefore, the best time to sell your coin is when it is still trading on Kucoin (before getting on bigger exchanges)

Has traders found it great and it makes sense at all. Kucoin have did well, in fact, it become known crypto exchange because of its performance.
It is somebody to believe that the market went into strong competition and that's exactly what kucoin shows and to prove that they are worthy of our trust and as well as to say that they competent enough.

Right, well with time perhaps more will be revealed about what Ku means. It could be Chinese but few know for sure, I assume.

It could mean Kompletely Underhanded for all we know.  Keep Uneasy.

Do you need to send verification?


Should one buy kucoin similar to like bnb?

same verification tiers as binance---you can trade unverified and withdraw up to 2 BTC per day. https://kucoin.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015207533-Why-Get-KYC-Verified-on-KuCoin-


you might get more answers if you ask in altcoin speculation. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=224.0)

with bitmex shedding users, and kucoin launching kumex (and paying profits to KCS holders), it may be a good medium/long term bet. but you might want to time your entry because if BTC keeps pumping, KCS/BTC could keep declining for a while.

You are wasting your talent! :) Great review of the KuCoin exchange. If you wrote this review here https://revain.org/exchanges/kucoin earlier, you would receive a reward. On this platform, expert opinion is very much appreciated. But it’s not too late and you can join the experts and write reviews not only about KuCoin, but also about other exchanges :)

At this time it might not be too popular, but some ieo might boost the popularity of kucoin. one of the ieo that is being launched is tokoin and currently tokoin has been registered in kucoin with a price increase of more than 100%.

Honestly, the IEO launching won't be the reason for any crypto exchange to be popular for the exchange service, security and trading rate is what determine the popularity of an exchange site. An example is binance.
The reason why most believe Kucoin was becoming the best exchange for trading was because of there current give away.

Kucoin is one the top rank together with Binance, both have successful IEO platform. The only thing that Binance has advantage on my opinion is their popular and enigmatic leader. Other than that I think they are both equal. And most of the time Kucoin has more trading volumes as compare to Binance. So it will be a good race between the two top exchanges and I wouldn't be surprised if Kucoin will go on top at the end of the year.

Adding up,  kucoin proven did not faking their trading volume according to blockchain transparency institute.

Unlike any other cryptocurrency exchange that so popular make a wash trading to get people interest which it makes people getting sick out of it and however i personally feel comfortable to trade on an honest exchange like kucoin, also of course who doesn't love giveaway ? Who doesn't like airdrop hmmm? But I think these days it's become a trend for an exchange to have an airdrop or giveaway as part of their promotional strategy,  fair enough.

Kucoin is one of the good and trusted exchange platform if you are going to trade whether altcoin or bitcoin.
In fact, I've been using it for 1 year almost now and so far so good I don't face any issues in this platform as well,
so this is recommendable to me.

Personal experienced counts as good basis once you are giving your opinions regarding to the point that you are choosing what's best for your investment, KuCoin gives good competition with those reputable exchange around this market, if you have this experience then you can speak to yourself if this exchange can be classified as one of those many good exchange inside.

Competition sounds like, KuCoin gives the best shot and the others did also. But we couldn't say that KuCoin is the best among the others, only we could say that it is one of the most trusted crypto exchange existed today.

This is something good to see that along with the scamming incidents and phishing sites arise but still, we could find exchanges just like KuCoin stood still and has a good reputation which traders are looking for.

You're right but now Kucoin is one of the best exchange. They hit a big 24 hour volume and they keep in touch with the top exchanges like Binance and Idax. Maybe someday it will overcome Idax and if they do their best in improving their exchange to get the position.

People know may recommended KuCoin i don't use kucoin other hands more people are prefer that open trade kuCoin.
They do not add security and fake tokens thus reducing the risk of losing the consumer open account carefully reading Service or Term.

I always liked the KuCoin exchange, but it was always somehow unlucky. something was missing. I could never understand why they have such a low trading volume.

Well, I trust Bittrex as well but after they dominate the crypto exchange world and fall, I don't see a signs of growth anymore.
You can compare the volume of Kucoin against Bittrex and Kucoin really did great in finding ways to increase their volume, at the start of the year, they have a low trading volume after they enjoy a good volume during the last bull run, but I like Kucoin now because they recovered and they started to gain the trust of the traders again, I won't be surprise if this one will be a great competitor of Binance in the long run.

Why unlucky? What's missing buddy?
Yes, we might see that some coins listed in KuCoin have low trading compared to the others (Bittrex) but not just we look for in a certain exchange. The most important is our funds is really secured. KuCoin exchange did great things this year and even listed a lot of coins this means that it consistently be growing and moving its volume as well. And that is pretty amazing to look by.

I think Iso is also a consideration for traders to choose their exchanges. just look at IEO binance all provide huge benefits.
although not everyone can participate, only luck.

Most of the coins on KuCoin don't even have extremely low volume except for the least known pairs on the site, and the exchange's volume is overall greater than that of Bittrex by far, though most of that volume's concentrated in pairs like BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT. Pretty decent site if you're trading on the larger pairs, though as for the security portion of things you shouldn't be counting on the exchange securing funds properly too much as accidents do happen. Always keep funds you're not actively using or plan on using off-exchange.

The UI is good, Kucoin is also fast, they are inferior, true, but that's alright, at least Kucoin has improved its volume this year.

On the ranking here, https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/
Kucoin is currently in top 30, but I don't trust some of the exchange rank higher than Kucoin as they might be wash trading which is happening in some exchanges based on the article I read.

Not only you mate, most of these exchange with such trade volume are to be careful with as they can be risky than you think. Currently their volume is still very low, they need to work more harder to get the exchange up with its counterparts. Most of my trades are been done with good exchange in this industry as I don't want to take any chances.

I agree with you, it is clear that KuCoin did a great job. In my previous post, I meant that KuCoin for a long time could not reach large trading volumes. I remember that many times I saw that the daily trading volume did not even reach 10 million dollars in the past. At the moment, the situation has changed a lot for the better. And the rest, as I wrote before, I always liked this exchange.

I think that kucoin is really working hard and also following the footstep of bitcoin, this was how binance coin also started, they started pushing and growing gradually till they became the best exchange so far, and I think kucoin is gradually coming up and also getting the necessary hype.

I have really tried them out during those time I heard lost of hype about them and found out that they have really been working hard, their platform is such a user friendly one and they have the volume that is actually needed to drive their market to the top. Trades gets executed as soon as you place it and no form of delay, I think they still have a very low fees too compared to some other exchanges other than binance, because binance still has the lowest fee.

Of course, no exchange could beat Binance now, though Binance is not number 1 in ranking (https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/)
But I believe that Binance are telling the real volume, other exchanges are faking their volume so they get a good ranking and I know traders know that, that's why they have more trust on Binance over other exchanges.

Well, although there are many sites that don't appreciate binance exchange but everyone has a very clear comment about binance, it is a best exchange and they are very comfortable to use and make money, quality and trading volume are always outstanding, there is nothing to complain about this exchange. While some other exchanges are rated better but participation and volume per day are too poor, trends such as IEO still cannot compete with binance, binance is still the king in everyone's heart, kucoin or some other exchange, it's just behind

Currently , all traders now exchange or trading their crypto assets on Binance, OKEx , etc.. mostly.
But as I see based on CoinMarketCap , Kucoin is ranked below Binance and others, maybe KuCoin exchange "grow up" slowly.. what I mean here is like development , trading experience , solve bug/problem on the exchange , etc.

Yes, in recent time, we are seeing some accurate volumes generating from the Kucoin makes many people attracted to this exchange. If it keeps building like this, definitely we might see Kucoin will become one of the best exchange in the crypto market.

KuCoin has the potential to grow very fast and large as does Binance. Because taker and maker transaction fees are only 0.1% and if you buy and hold KCS coins, the fee is above 50% discount, so the fee you need to pay is only 0.05% and also If you buy and hold KCS coins, you can get a daily dividend (profit sharing) from the fees collected by KuCoin. With the advantages of kucoin, it can be the best exchange.

this is Kucoin ranking on (9/31/2019). I'm not sure Kucoin will be able to become the best exchange in the world, there are still many exchanges that are much better than Kucoin, that is Bitmax, Binance, Latoken, and others.

Yes, the problem with them is the liquidity of some trading pairs.But I think it's acceptable, so you can't say it's risky. Their security system have many steps,  It'll keep you safe. Recently, they have listed many quality IEO projects on Spotlight and great profit. So they are improving steps by steps, to compete with other top exchanges.

KuCoin may not be the best exchange in the world, but the fact that in recent months the exchange has done a great job and significantly increased the daily trading volume cannot be denied.

Sometimes I get a lot of other coins at this exchange for free and that's great for my KCS investment. Currently, Kucoin has a lot of good development strategies and this is one of the exchanges with many successful IEO projects in this market so we can see that KCS investment brings a lot of good profits. Personally, I have been using this exchange for the past 1 year and have not had any withdrawal issues.

So, you are saying that of all the thousands of exchanges that we have, only binance is with real exchange, I think that you have just over exaggerated and you are talking without facts. Binance is of no doubt the best, but we still have very good exchanges that are trying their possible best too to be what binance is to people are they are gradually gaining some relevance.

Kucoin is one such of an exchange that has been coming up gradually without faking their exchange. Don't just judge based on what people are saying until you try it and then verify it yourself. There are still some reputable exchanges and I have seen a place where they listed 10 reputable exchanges that does not fake their volume and kucoin was really among them which I believe also because of my trade experience with them.

If you look at Kucoin current trading volume then this is a very virtual volume exchange and this is not recommended. In June, Kucoin was rated as the most real trading volume in this market but this soon ended in July. I think now virtual volume always appears at any exchange and surely coinmarketcap will have a timely solution so we know which is the best exchange

I think the best way to determine is just to listen to people's feedback, these are real people who shares their personal experience.
If only there's a survey in the forum to determine which is the best exchange, I would be glad to participate, all I'm hearing now is Binance being the best, and based on my experience, I also like the site so I would agree that they are the best.

Well for me, KuCoin is one of the Best Exchanges in trading. I'am so happy if I have hold a cryptocurrency that is listed in Kucoin because I can say that the currency that I'm holding is real and legit. But I'm not a fan of Kucoin but I also hope it will be the number 1 exchange site.

Indeed, this is so, KuCoin is one of the best exchanges at the moment. I, too, am not a fan of this exchange, but I'm just trying to soberly evaluate based on personal experience and reviews of other people. https://revain.org/exchanges/kucoin - here KuCoin has a good rating.  https://www.trustpilot.com/review/kucoin.com - in this site is already worse reviews. I don’t know why so. But in general, it seems that there are much more positive reviews. I believe that the opinion of ordinary people and users is the most valuable and gives the most objective information about any of the exchanges.

Yes, the current market is very competitive with many new exchanges, so we - the users will be the beneficiaries. In my opinion you should not rely on the Trading Volume chart too much, when many exchanges use bots to increase their volume, use the practical experience when using it to evaluate.

With all the competition and so many coin listing I think they are great to use and the seem updated Look at their interface and UI for example they are great and seamless I like the way i use it...The thing that make it great is its simplicity

What will be the barometer to use so that we can tell the exchange site is the best? Is it the customer service? It can be rigged, they can ask someone to write positive reviews about their site. For me I think we should look at the number of markets they have because this will add more foot traffic in your site, the more markets you list, more people will use your exchange site instead of jumping from one exchange to another.

So far it is HitBTC who has the most number of markets which is at 815 while Binance comes only at 2nd place with 565 while KuCoin is at #8 with 452 markets.

I still don't see Kucoin beating Binance, it's a good exchange but it has to be consistent and keep its good trading volume.
The last time I check, it's trading volume was over $500 million in 24 hours, but now it's back to over $100 million per https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/kucoin/. 

Binance is more stable, it's very consistent trading sometimes at over $1 billion a day but it never fail and drop to below $500 million.
I was happen seeing some improvement of Kucoin but it's not good enough for me to convince it will become the best exchange and will beat Binance.

KuCoin has the potential to grow very fast and large as does Binance.

Mate, anything could happen, I have seen things turn around, I have heard the stories of the rich becoming poor, and I have seen the poor becoming rich, it all depends on who the table turned to favor. Binance started just like kucoin too, and they were doing their best until luck decided to shine on them, and who would have ever believed that they will end up becoming the best exchange.

I remember that when they conducted their ICO then, I failed to buy their cheap price because I never saw any future that much In them, but look at where they are now, they are the world’s best exchange, so kucoin can also be the world’s best exchange if they try, they could just come up with an idea that will supersede everything that Binance has created so far.

Kucoin have been around for a while, but they have failed to grow in to a major exchange, similar to Binance or Huobi. The most important advantage while using Kucoin is the trading fee, which is relatively lower compared to the other exchanges. Also, they are based in Hong Kong and therefore a lot of Chinese users are among their clientele. However, many users have complained of the platform slowing down, during high traffic phases.

kuckcoin havent been here for a while bu they already existed a long time ago , i think they are now 2 years or more .  they are now also popular and now considered as one of the major exchange up to this date   . sorry but i dont know what your talking about  . maybe your not only familliar about them .

kuckoin can become the best trading exchange depending on its users if they love it but majority says that binance are still the best trading exchange so far  .

I don't see any problems at Kucoin exchange and they are always sharing the profits with all KCS holders and this is the policy that very few exchanges do at this time. I think Kucoin is still developing very rapidly in recent years and the projects listed at this exchange are always liquidated so there won't be any problems if you choose to invest . Maybe people prefer Binance but Kucoin is also a good choice if you want

Some people view it as one of the best exchanges out there but I think it is just a good exchange. It's very easy to use and a good interface but the only thing they missing is lack of volume. They can't give good growth on price of altcoins they list unlike Binance. Yes, for best experience but as an exchange , Kucoin is just simple and good to me and very similar to others. But if they lessen their withdrawal fee then I will change my mind because I am just small time trader.

You are right, they have a higher withdrawal fee, it`s not so good for small traders who withdraw coins after every trade. I trade on Kucoin with their shares, nice for trading, have volatility that suits me, and in the long term, the price of Kucoin shares is rising.
Good exchange, but far from being the best one. They still have a lot to work on, and we can hope they will lower withdraw fees one day.

It's still depends from how traders response from what they've seen between this two platforms, binance might still have the wider supporters and still being considered as the best exchange but Kucoin also showing good sign that it can also consider from the top of the list of exchange that will perform the same thing as binance did.

currently the daily trading volume is now $204m , that's not a bad trading volume for 24 hours, 

I think they need to list more solid project on their exchange so as to draw the attention of traders to trade on their exchange,  they need to make a thorough scrutiny before listing any coin in order to avoid low trading volume for such coin,  because there are some coins that are having low volume and it doesn't speak good for the exchange

No, I think the best tag is really far. It’s no doubt amongst a very top names but still it’s just too far from the best tag, so that’s where we have to be very careful. I go with very top Crypto Exchanges (https://cryptolinks.com/cryptocurrency-exchange), as I know if success is to be gained for me it’s via being comfortable. And I know that only is when the option I pick is one that’s on the mark. It’s something not just me but everyone out there should and must be attempting to do.

Hi Everyone! I hope you're all having a great week. I wanted to follow up with some updates I made to the review article in this thread for KuCoin.

You can find the updates which now include the KuCoin Margin Trading.

https://blog.shrimpy.io/blog/kucoin-review

Let me know if you have any comments on the updated review!

Thanks for update, i also use kucoin and i like how exchange work, they still need something to attract more people and on that way they have a chance to be a top exchange.

Ill have a lots of exchange site that i'm using for now its because some of my altcoins are listed in any different exchange. But kucoin is one of my list exchange exchange site because of easy to use and understand the platform of that exchange sites. And one of the trusted exchange site that I use for trading, But the question becoming the best exchange site for trading maybe for now not, As we can see their are lots of exchange site also be going be the best.

I think so, this exchange is similiar like binance and has a lot of features and also bonus for the people who hold their exchange owned token KCS (KuCoin Shares)
It also has the mobile apps which really nice for mobile trader who trades while they are outside from home. Also it has an advance chart to do more in depht analysis to enhance our trading strategy. And the most important thing, i've never heard a news about people got stealed or hacked on kucoin which mean this exchange is safe
