Our Story

"An exchange isn't just a stream of numbers on a screen. It's a covenant to safeguard the user - one that persists even if the algorithms go haywire."

That's what KuCoin's founder, Michael, told his co-founder Eric back in 2013. He was sitting in a small café, typing the very first line of code for what would become KuCoin. Michael, a coding prodigy who had been immersed in the digital world since he was eight, knew the true power of code. It could create groundbreaking systems, but even one tiny mistake could lead to disaster.

As blockchain adoption accelerated, Michael and Eric saw its transformative power—not just for the wealthy, but for everyone—including the unbanked and underserved. In late 2013, they sat down in a café and wrote the first lines of code for what would become KuCoin—the People’s Exchange, a platform designed to break down barriers and make crypto accessible to all.
