Note on Reserve Tracking Accuracy
Third-party analytics tools that monitor KuCoin's reserves may occasionally display outdated figures if wallet address updates are delayed during system maintenance. Rest assured, all user funds remain 1:1 backed and secure. We actively collaborate with data providers to ensure timely address updates for accurate reserve reporting.
