Strengthening trust in the crypto ecosystem
The certification is a key milestone in KuCoin’s $2 Billion Trust Project, a multi-year initiative focused on transparency, regulatory collaboration, and infrastructure upgrades. By adopting ISO 27701 privacy controls across the entire data lifecycle, KuCoin reduces the risk of breaches and gives crypto traders greater control over their personal information. The exchange said it has deployed internal data scans, advanced encryption, and breach-response protocols to safeguard customer assets and data.
KuCoin has also introduced privacy-focused upgrades, including a global Data Protection Officer, Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) tools for new products, and customer-facing features that simplify exercising data rights. These measures align with rising global standards for crypto platforms as regulators demand stronger privacy protections in digital finance.
Securing digital asset trading
KuCoin’s multi-layered security approach integrates proactive risk management with audited operational controls, ensuring compliance while maintaining seamless crypto trading. The platform offers access to over 1,000 digital assets, including spot and futures markets, institutional services, and Web3 wallet solutions.
Founded in 2017, KuCoin is recognized by Forbes as one of the “Best Crypto Apps & Exchanges.” The exchange said the ISO 27701 certification demonstrates its commitment to safeguarding user data and strengthening trust across the global cryptocurrency market.
Meanwhile, KuCoin Pay, the payment division of KuCoin, has announced a strategic partnership with Refillarena, enabling users to spend cryptocurrencies on everyday essentials such as gift cards, mobile top-ups, and eSIMs. The collaboration aims to expand the real-world utility of digital assets.
