KuCoin Reviews
Founded in 2017, KuCoin is one of the world's largest altcoin exchanges, with more than 700 tradable coins and spot fees from 0.1% (discounted when paying in KCS). For the EU market, KuCoin EU Exchange GmbH received a MiCA CASP licence from Austria's FMA in November 2025.
KuCoin Rating
Our Opinion
KuCoin has been a fixture for altcoin traders for years. Its EU position, however, is complicated as of July 2026: the Austrian MiCA licence has been granted, but the exchange has not yet been cleared to begin EU operations while the process runs its course. If regulatory certainty inside the EU is your priority, fully operational MiCA venues such as Bitpanda, Bybit EU or Kraken are the safer bet for now.
Pros & Cons
- 700+ coins – a vast altcoin selection
- Low fees from 0.1% on spot, with KCS discounts
- MiCA CASP licence (FMA Austria, November 2025)
- Wide feature set: spot, futures, bots, earn products
- EU operations not yet cleared despite the licence (as of July 2026)
- Historically no local European support structures
- 2023 US settlement still weighs on its record
User Experiences

Spot: from 0.1% maker/taker, with discounts when paying in KCS. Futures are cheaper. Deposit and withdrawal costs depend on the method (as of July 2026).
Investing in crypto assets carries a high level of risk, up to and including total loss of capital. This is not investment advice. Figures as of July 2026, without guarantee – check current conditions with the provider.
