Introduction
In the fast-evolving landscape of cryptocurrency, security remains the cornerstone of trust for users and exchanges. KuCoin, serving over 41 million users worldwide, is proud to announce its AAA rating on CER.live, placing us among the top 6 most secure exchanges globally. Achieved in June 2025, this recognition underscores KuCoin’s dedication to protecting user assets and data, with a 90% security score and perfect 100/100 marks in server security, user security, penetration tests, and its bug bounty program. This milestone aligns KuCoin with leading platforms like Coinbase, OKX, and Kraken, solidifying its reputation as a trusted name in crypto.
The Significance of CER.live’s Evaluation
CER.live, founded by Hacken in 2018, sets the industry standard for assessing exchange security, evaluating factors such as cybersecurity, transparency, and user safeguards. Integrated into CoinGecko’s TrustScore, its rigorous methodology offers traders a dependable guide to secure platforms. KuCoin’s AAA rating reflects its advanced security measures—like cutting-edge encryption, multi-factor authentication, and real-time monitoring—ensuring a fortified trading experience for all users.
KuCoin’s 2025 Security Achievements
This year, KuCoin has taken bold steps to enhance its security framework. At TOKEN2049 Dubai, we announced the $2 Billion Trust Project, which showcases our commitment to our 41 million users through our security-first approach. This multi-year effort aims to enhance transparency, security, and compliance by integrating advanced features like zero-trust architecture, sophisticated encryption key management, and real-time Proof of Reserves reporting. These steps ensure users’ assets are both safeguarded and transparently managed.
Additionally, KuCoin secured the SOC 2 Type II certification, which affirms its robust internal controls, and the ISO 27001:2022 certification, demonstrating compliance with global information security standards. Most recently, on June 19, 2025, we unveiled a partnership with BitGo that integrates the Go Network for Off-Exchange Settlement. This collaboration enhances security for institutional clients by separating custody and execution.
Proactive User Protection Measures
KuCoin goes beyond certifications with practical safeguards. Monthly Proof of Reserves updates provide full asset transparency, while over 23.7 million real-time security alerts have been sent to users worldwide, keeping them ahead of risks. The bug bounty program, partnered with BugCrowd, rewards up to $10,000 for vulnerability discoveries, continuously strengthening the platform.
Leadership Vision
BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin emphasized, “Security isn’t just a feature at KuCoin—it’s the foundation of everything we do, and the AAA rating on CER.live reflects our relentless focus on user safety. We will continue to invest in cutting-edge security technologies and practices to stay ahead of emerging threats.”
