KuCoin Achieves CER.live’s AAA Rating, Joining Top Crypto Exchanges In Security Ranking

The certified AAA rating places KuCoin Exchange as the sixth most secure cryptocurrency exchange, joining top exchanges such as Coinbase, OKX, Kraken and Crypto.com. KuCoin Exchange , one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges globally, has announced its AAA rating on CER.live, prestigious and renowned cybersecurity ranking platform for cryptocurrency projects. The rating is the highest for cryptocurrency platforms by CER.live, a move that solidifies KuCoin’s position as a top secure cryptocurrency exchange. The AAA rating accolade places KuCoin as one of the 10 exchanges to ever achieve the certification worldwide, reflecting the exchange’s “unwavering commitment to user protection and operational excellence”, a KuCoin team member stated. Speaking on the security and ethos of KuCoin, BC Wong, CEO of the exchange stated: “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.” The exchange ranked 6th overall in security and audit tests with a AAA rating and a 90% security score, pending proof of reserves audit. Overall, the exchange is partly certified with approved penetration test and with ongoing bug bounty checks. It also scores perfect 100/100 marks in server security, user security, penetration tests, and its bug bounty program. The high marks scored in these categories reinforces KuCoin’s reputation as one of the most trusted and secure exchange platforms in an increasingly competitive crypto market. The AAA rating by CER.live enhances user trust due to its rigorous CERtified methodology, which evaluates exchanges on cybersecurity practices, penetration testing, PoR , and bug bounty programs. Integrated into CoinGecko’s TrustScore, these rankings offer users an objective measure of platform reliability, a critical factor in an industry where security lapses can be catastrophic. A Solidified Commitment To Security Over the course of this year, KuCoin Exchange has worked to improve user trust and security on the platform, reaching several significant milestones in the process. At TOKEN2049 Dubai, in May, the exchange announced the $2 billion Trust Project, which aims to advance security, enhance trust and boost innovation across its platform. In addition, KuCoin also secured the SOC 2 Type II certification, validating its strong internal controls for security, alongside the ISO 27001:2022 certification, aligning with global information security benchmarks. This places KuCoin among the most secure global platforms, meeting the highest international standards. Earlier this month, KuCoin extended its security measures by partnering with BitGo Singapore to integrate its GO Network , launching off-exchange settlement for institutional investors. The collaboration enhances security for institutional clients by separating custody and execution. Notwithstanding, the partnership with BitGo also enables the instant settlement of USD and digital assets between Go Network clients, as well as the settlement of USD and digital assets using Delivery vs. Payment between Go Network clients. KuCoin has also spent the last eight years of operation focusing on enhancing transparency, security, and compliance by integrating advanced features, including zero-trust architecture, sophisticated encryption key management, and monthly Proof of Reserves (PoR) reporting. These steps ensure users’ assets are both safeguarded and transparently managed, boosting confidence in the platform. Looking Ahead To Stronger Security Frameworks The latest certification is one of the many accolades that KuCoin Exchange has received in the last few years. The exchange has garnered other accolades, such as “Best Crypto Apps & Exchanges” by Forbes and has been recognized among the “Top 50 Global Unicorns” by Hurun in 2024. This recognition reflects its commitment to user-centric principles and core values, which include integrity, accountability, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. In the near future, KuCoin is working on becoming globally regulatory compliant across all regions to strengthen its security framework. Following the launch of KuCoin EU, to serve European users, the exchange announced its registration to acquire the MiCAR license in the EU. This will enable the exchange to meet evolving standards and ensure a secure trading environment worldwide. With over 40+ million users worldwide across 200+ countries, the exchange is one of the largest crypto platforms, and a clear regulatory and secure framework is key to protecting the users. The recent milestones by the exchange highlight a mission to deliver a secure, user-focused platform that builds trust and accelerates Web3 adoption. Through its relentless focus on security, transparency, and innovation, KuCoin continues to set a high standard for the cryptocurrency exchange ecosystem.
