- The CEO pointed out that by concentrating on both technology and compliance, KuCoin is able to maintain the greatest levels of security and openness.
- Wong called it a credible model for long-term growth in the global digital finance ecosystem.
BC Wong, the CEO of KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency platform, recognized Hong Kong’s RegTech-driven and progressive approach to digital finance regulation at the “Regulator and Visionary Forum” on the main stage of Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025. He called it a credible model for long-term growth in the global digital finance ecosystem.
During the main stage panel discussion titled “The Globalization of Digital Asset Trading: Building a Borderless Financial Ecosystem,” BC said:“The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has pioneered a RegTech-driven, science-based approach to regulation. This not only enhances market safety and transparency but also provides a clear framework for industry development.”
He further underlined that the foundation of sustained trust is upholding constant compliance.
“Platforms must ensure full and transparent disclosure to regulators. We cannot claim compliance in words but act otherwise. Trust comes from transparency, consistency, and accountability,” said BC.
KuCoin markets itself as a Web3 financial infrastructure rather than just an exchange, BC said. With 1,300 employees now, more than 80% are engineers, demonstrating the company’s basis in technology and security.
He pointed out that by concentrating on both technology and compliance, KuCoin is able to maintain the greatest levels of security and openness, gaining the confidence of authorities and users everywhere.
“A truly trusted exchange must be reliable to users, to regulators, and to its employees — and must uphold consistent standards across all jurisdictions.”
In order to promote a balanced development of compliance, security, and innovation and contribute to a secure, transparent, and reliable global digital financial ecosystem, he said KuCoin would keep interacting with authorities across the world, including those in Hong Kong.
