KuCoin 2.0 is much more than a single exchange, it is a dynamic, secure and malleable trading platform that is able to provide stable and efficient services to KuCoin’s 5 million global users.
“This upgrade is another milestone after our $20 million round A funding from IDG Capital, Matrix Partners, and NGC,” said Michael Gan, CEO at KuCoin. “As the ‘People’s Exchange’, we always listen to our users and have gained a number of insights during the R&D of Platform 2.0. The long-awaited multiple order types will better satisfy our investors’ trading needs. Meanwhile, the advanced WebSocket API and Rest API will contribute to improving our liquidity and market depth. We are confident that these features will make KuCoin a better place to trade.”
