About KuCoin
KuCoin, often called "The People's Exchange," is a cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2017 that has built a reputation for accessibility and a beginner-friendly experience. The platform supports 900+ cryptocurrencies with early access to new tokens through its Spotlight launchpad, and offers three UI layouts (Classic, Professional, Full Screen) to accommodate different experience levels.
On Yieldo, we track KuCoin staking rates across 38 coins, including flexible and fixed KuCoin Earn products. Withdrawal fee data covers 2,000+ assets across 325 networks. Note that KuCoin has higher-than-average USDT withdrawal fees at approximately $1.17, making network selection particularly important for this exchange.
KuCoin's standout feature is its built-in trading bot suite, available at no extra cost: Spot Grid, Futures Grid, Martingale, and DCA bots. KCS token holders receive daily profit sharing from the platform's trading revenue. Base spot trading fees are 0.10% with reductions through KCS holdings. The exchange faced a $281M hack in 2020, recovered 84% of funds and covered the rest through insurance.
