What is KuCoin Token

KuCoin Token (KCS) is the token of KuCoin, a crypto exchange founded in 2017 and run by Peken Global, a company registered in Seychelles. The token appeared in August 2017 under the name KuCoin Shares and was renamed later. A total of 200 million KCS were created, and the exchange is shrinking that number: it uses part of its profit to buy tokens back from the market and burn them. The stated goal is to end up with 100 million KCS.

KCS started as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. In June 2021 KuCoin backed the launch of KuCoin Community Chain (KCC), a blockchain compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine where KCS became the only coin for paying fees. To move tokens over, the exchange locked a batch of KCS on Ethereum and issued the same amount on KCC. The network runs on Proof of Staked Authority, in which a limited set of validators chosen by stake produces blocks, so transactions confirm within seconds.

Most of KCS’s utility is on the exchange. Users can pay trading fees in KCS at a discount, and those who stake KCS through KuCoin Earn receive daily bonuses funded by a share of the exchange’s trading fees. Since March 2025 the KCS Loyalty Level program has tied perks to the share of staked KCS in a user’s total account assets. Sharing exchange income with holders has set KCS apart since launch, but KuCoin alone decides how large the bonuses and discounts are.

What it’s used for

discounted trading fees on KuCoin
daily bonuses for staking KCS on the exchange
perk tiers in the KCS Loyalty Level program
paying fees on KCC

Risks

the token’s value rests on KuCoin: an exchange hack like the one in September 2020, trouble at the company or changed bonus terms would hit KCS directly
the issuer’s regulatory record: in January 2025 Peken Global pleaded guilty in the US to operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, paid nearly 300 million dollars and agreed to leave the US market for at least two years
buyback size depends on exchange profit, and KuCoin sets and changes the bonus and burn rules itself
