VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 15, 2025 — KuCoin, a prominent global cryptocurrency exchange, announced its participation in the HODL Summit 2025, which took place in Dubai on May 14-15. Oliver Stauber, the CEO of KuCoin EU, joined fellow panelists including Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, Nils Andersen-Röed, Global Head of FIU at Binance, and moderator Nic Watson, the Host of Encrypted Podcast, to discuss “Crypto’s Trust Crisis: Navigating Security, Innovation & Adoption Post-Hacks.” During the discussion, Oliver emphasized KuCoin’s dedication to security and trustworthiness, underscoring the industry’s strength and collaboration when facing difficulties.
Strengthening Crypto’s Foundation
Oliver stated, “Innovation fuels progress, but trust guarantees longevity. Security is the cornerstone of KuCoin’s operations, and we are guided by the principle of sustainable growth.” KuCoin prioritizes user asset safety and regulatory compliance alongside rapid global expansion, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. The exchange has made significant investments in upgrading its fundamental systems, guaranteeing technical excellence and scalability for the future.
Industry Unity and Resilience
During the panel discussion, Oliver drew a comparison between the crypto industry’s reaction to security concerns and the financial crisis of 2008. He noted, “The collapse of Lehman Brothers led to a breakdown of trust among banks, which in turn caused years of hardship for customers and the wider economy. However, in the crypto space, industry leaders quickly come together when hacks occur. This collaborative approach prevents long-term damage to users or the market, which builds trust among users and within the market itself.”
Rebuilding for a Secure Future
Oliver talked about KuCoin’s proactive stance on security, highlighting the extensive overhaul of its core systems over the last few years. This initiative is centered on strengthening security measures, boosting scalability, and ensuring dependability to handle the demands of its expanding user base while upholding the highest standards of asset protection. These endeavors demonstrate KuCoin’s dedication to proactively addressing threats and providing a solid platform for its 40 million users on a global scale.
Building Trust in the Crypto Ecosystem
Oliver stated, “Exchanges serve as the foundation for the future of crypto, and they are built on trust and transparency. Our ISO 27001:2022 certification shows our firm commitment to security.” KuCoin is enhancing its reliability by maintaining a Proof of Reserves exceeding 100%, which is audited monthly by an independent third party, SOC 2 Type II certification, and the recent ISO 27001:2022 certification, which was announced on May 13, 2025. These are all part of the company’s efforts to foster a more secure and reliable crypto environment. Furthermore, KuCoin has recently revealed its $2 billion Trust Project, which seeks to establish new standards for security and regulatory compliance.
KuCoin intends to introduce compliant platforms in both Europe and Australia by the end of 2025, leveraging its five global regulatory licenses, while also growing the KCS ecosystem to offer more benefits to its worldwide community.
