KuCoin Achieves ISO 27001:2022 Certification, Strengthening Commitment to Security Through $2B Trust Project

KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has achieved ISO 27001:2022 certification for Information Security Management Systems. This marks a significant milestone in KuCoin’s $2 billion Trust Project, launched at TOKEN2049 Dubai in April 2025.

The certification, awarded by an independent third party, attests to KuCoin’s unwavering commitment to the highest information security standards. ISO 27001:2022, an internationally recognized standard, covers organizational management, cybersecurity, application security, endpoint security, encryption, vulnerability management, access control, and other critical aspects.

This certification, a core component of KuCoin’s $2 billion Trust Project, strengthens the exchange’s protection of user assets and data, ultimately enhancing platform security and reliability. Moreover, it demonstrates KuCoin’s dedication to continuous improvement in creating a safe and trusted trading environment.

“Security and trust are paramount in the Web3 space, and we are pleased to have achieved ISO 27001:2022 certification for our commitment to best-in-class information security,” said BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin. “This certification is a key milestone in our $2 billion Trust Project, which aims to enhance transparency, security, and compliance in the blockchain industry.”

The Trust Project also serves to bolster the KCS (KuCoin Token) ecosystem, providing greater incentives and utility to align value with the needs of KuCoin’s 40 million users.

Security and compliance are at the heart of KuCoin’s vision. The exchange’s security team, helmed by industry veterans, employs cutting-edge technologies and protocols to safeguard the platform infrastructure. The ISO 27001:2022 framework further institutionalizes these efforts, ensuring systematic risk assessments, continuous monitoring, and rapid incident response capabilities.

KuCoin’s data protection practices go above and beyond regulatory requirements in various jurisdictions. With the integration of ISO 27001:2022, KuCoin reaffirms its commitment to a compliance-first approach, aligning with the Trust Project’s focus on legal adherence and cross-border cooperation.

Looking ahead, KuCoin will maintain its ISO 27001:2022 certification and pursue additional certifications to strengthen its global operations. The $2 billion Trust Project will drive investment in advanced security technologies, regulatory collaboration, and user education initiatives, setting the standard for excellence within the industry.

Serving over 40 million users in 200+ countries, KuCoin is paving the way for a secure, transparent Web3 future.
