In addition to leveraging Chainalysis KYT for compliance, KuCoin has also built its own fraud monitoring system to identify early warnings of abnormal behavior to protect the security of users’ digital assets.
“We teamed up with Chainalysis to create a safe and compliant trading environment. Through KuCoin’s efforts, the crypto world will combat illegal activities, such as laundering money and financing terrorism,” KuCoin Global CEO Johnny Lyu said. “Although KuCoin has already deployed in this aspect, we hope to further strengthen our technical expansion into compliance with our cooperation with Chainalysis.
