KuCoin, a prominent global cryptocurrency platform, has achieved the prestigious CryptoCurrency Security Standard (CCSS) certification, becoming the first top ten exchange to do so. Announced on October 14, 2025, in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, this certification represents a significant step in enhancing the security framework of cryptocurrency systems.

This milestone underscores KuCoin’s commitment to safeguarding user assets and personal data in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. By securing the CCSS certification, KuCoin has positioned itself at the forefront of industry security practices, setting a new benchmark for trust and reliability in the crypto market.

Comprehensive Security Measures

With this achievement, KuCoin is now the only major crypto exchange to possess all four leading security and privacy certifications: CCSS, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27701:2025, and SOC 2 Type II. These certifications highlight KuCoin’s holistic approach to addressing both general and crypto-specific security risks.

According to BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, “Adding CCSS certification to our suite of global standards highlights KuCoin’s leadership in security and user protection. This accomplishment perfectly embodies our brand philosophy — ‘Trust First. Trade Next.’ Every step we take is guided by a deep responsibility to our users and the ecosystem.”

The four certifications collectively ensure resilient crypto controls, a robust information security management system, responsible data privacy practices, and independently audited operational effectiveness. For users, these certifications enhance data protection, reduce risks, and promote greater transparency.

Building Trust in the Crypto Ecosystem

As KuCoin continues to expand its global footprint, these certifications will serve as a foundation for establishing lasting trust with users, partners, and regulators. The achievement is part of KuCoin’s broader $2 billion Trust Project, which aims to bolster security and user confidence across its platform.
