Kucoin has secured ISO 27001:2022 certification, one of the most respected international standards for information security. This milestone is a significant step forward in Kucoin’s $2 billion Sweep Trust Project, a long-term initiative focusing on transparency, security and compliance across the Web3 landscape.

New Gold Standard for Security
ISO 27001:2022 is not a small feat. This is the gold standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISM), covering everything from encryption and endpoint security to access control and real-time threat responses. Following a large third-party audit, Kucoin’s system passed with flying colours. This promotes the ability to protect user data at scale while protecting it from evolving cyber threats.
“Security and trust are paramount. This certification underscores our commitment to providing a reliable platform where users can confidently trade as part of our trust project.”
BC Wong, CEO of Kucoin
Trust Project: $20 billion to support safer Web3
Released in April 2025 at Token2049 Dubai, Kucoin’s $2 billion trust project is designed to maintain the platform for over 40 million global users in the future. ISO certification is an important milestone, but it is just one of the broader strategies that includes:
Strengthen legal and cross-border compliance
Improve user transparency and asset safety
Improved utility in the KCS (Kucoin Token) ecosystem
Built for scale and protection
Leading by industry veteran security teams, Kucoin’s architecture currently operates under a framework that requires continuous monitoring, systematic risk assessment, and facility-grade incident response.
ISO 27001:2022 certification formally incorporates this approach into global operations. This is beyond Kucoin’s jurisdiction and meets and exceeds data protection laws.
What’s next? More certification, more confidence
This is just the beginning. Kucoin says it will continue to pursue globally recognized security and compliance standards and strengthen its status as one of the most trusted platforms in the space.
From advanced threat modeling to user education and regulatory partnerships, exchange trust projects are built to expand both technical and reputational as the industry matures. With over 40 million users from over 200 countries, Kucoin is leading the way in creating a secure, transparent, user-aligned future for Web3.
