In a recent open letter to Kucoin users, CEO BC Wong announced the launch of a groundbreaking $2 billion trust project, marking a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency exchange's ongoing commitment to security and user trust. With the crypto industry facing sustained security challenges and a crisis of confidence, Kucoin aims to strengthen its position as a safe and reliable trading platform.

Looking back on the company's five years of journey, Wong emphasizes that Kucoin has become a trusted platform for over 41 million users worldwide. Trust projects are more than just technology investments. This is a promise for the future of users and cryptocurrency.
Building trust and security
Since its founding in 2020, Kucoin has been dedicated to creating a safe environment for the community. The exchange has invested heavily in advanced security infrastructure and implements stringent protocols to protect user assets and data. In the wake of the 2022 crypto industry trust crisis, Kucoin has strengthened its transparency and accountability measurements and actively addressed user concerns.
One notable initiative launched during this period was the monthly Proof of Preparation (POR), which aims to ensure that the assets are safe. By 2025, Kucoin achieved SoC 2 Type II certification along with its existing ISO 27001:2022 certification, positioning it among the industry's safest platforms. The exchange also pursues a MICAR license to enhance regulatory compliance.
Security innovation
Kucoin incorporates security into its operations framework, employing a zero trust architecture and high security key management devices to protect sensitive data. The platform employs real-time monitoring and established procedures to ensure stability and reliability, even at peak trading hours.
Looking ahead, Wong emphasized the need for the crypto industry to gather together to raise security standards and rebuild trust. He urged fellow cryptocurrency platforms to invest in robust security measures and prioritize user protection.
The future of the trust project
The $2 billion trust project represents Kucoin's vision for the future in which security measures not only respond to threats, but also predict them. Through this initiative, users will have the opportunity to participate in governance and rewards and shape the future of the platform.
