Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I trade futures directly from the KuCoin iOS app?A: Yes. The Trade tab includes a dedicated Futures section where users can switch between USDT-Margined and COIN-Margined contracts, adjust leverage, and place orders without switching platforms.

Q: Why does my deposit not appear in my Spot wallet immediately?A: Deposits require blockchain confirmations. The number varies per network—Bitcoin may need six confirmations while Solana requires just one. Check the asset’s deposit page for exact requirements.

Q: Does the KuCoin iOS app support hardware wallet integration?A: No. The mobile app does not interface with Ledger or Trezor devices. Private keys remain on-device; users must transfer assets to external wallets manually after withdrawal.
