Leading global cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin was pleased to attend the HODL Summit 2025, which took place in Dubai from May 14–15. Nils Andersen-Röed, Global Head of FIU at Binance; Oliver Stauber, CEO of KuCoin EU; and moderator Nic Watson, host of the Encrypted Podcast, joined the esteemed panelists to debate “Crypto’s Trust Crisis: Navigating Security, Innovation & Adoption Post-Hacks.” Oliver highlighted KuCoin’s dedication to security and trust throughout the discussion, underscoring the industry’s fortitude and solidarity in the face of adversity.

Strengthening Crypto’s Foundation

Oliver said:

“Innovation drives growth, but trust secures the future. Security is the bedrock of KuCoin’s operations, paired with sustainable growth as our guiding principle.”

KuCoin uses cutting-edge technology and an emphasis on compliance to strike a balance between user asset protection and quick worldwide growth. In order to ensure long-term technological quality and scalability, the exchange has made significant investments in modernizing its fundamental infrastructure.

Industry Unity and Resilience

Oliver compared the 2008 financial crisis and the crypto industry’s reaction to security issues during the discussion.

“When Lehman Brothers collapsed, trust among banks evaporated, leading to years of suffering for clients and the broader economy,” he said. “In contrast, when hacks occur in crypto, industry leaders collaborate swiftly. This unity ensures no user or the market as a whole suffers long-term damage, fostering trust from both users and the market.”

Rebuilding for a Secure Future

Oliver discussed KuCoin’s proactive security strategy, pointing out that the exchange has completely rebuilt its fundamental infrastructure in recent years. In order to satisfy the needs of its expanding user base while upholding the highest standards of asset protection, this endeavor focuses on strengthening security mechanisms, boosting scalability, and guaranteeing dependability.

These initiatives demonstrate KuCoin’s dedication to preventing attacks and providing a stable platform for its 40 million users globally.

Building Trust in the Crypto Ecosystem

Oliver asserted:

“Exchanges are the backbone of crypto’s future, built on transparency and trust. Our ISO 27001:2022 certification is a testament to our unwavering commitment to security.”

As part of its endeavors to create a more secure and reliable cryptocurrency ecosystem, KuCoin strengthens dependability by retaining over 100% Proof of Reserves reviewed monthly by a third party, SOC 2 Type II accreditation, and the recently obtained ISO 27001:2022 certification, which was announced on May 13, 2025. Additionally, KuCoin recently revealed its $2 billion Trust Project, which aims to establish new security and compliance standards.

Having obtained five international regulatory licenses, KuCoin intends to grow the KCS ecosystem to provide more value to its worldwide community while launching compliant platforms in Europe and Australia by the end of 2025.
