⚠️ Warning
[Exchange Notice] KuCoin — European Entity Regulatory Measures and User Guidance
We would like to inform you of the details confirmed on the KuCoin exchange.
■ Confirmed Details
The Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) issued a new business prohibition on KuCoin EU on February 19, 2026, but lifted the measure on May 18, 2026 following the recruitment of key personnel. However, the FMA’s order to suspend the start of operations remains in effect, so a full resumption of all business activities is still limited. KuCoin EU continues to negotiate with the FMA, but a concrete timeline and schedule for a full operational restart have not yet been determined.
■ Impact on Use
- Existing users’ account access, trading and withdrawal functions remain normal, so consider withdrawing to an external wallet or another exchange if needed to ensure asset safety.
- Continuously monitor the regulatory actions and the ongoing suspension of full business operations.
- New users residing in the European Union and EEA regions cannot currently register on KuCoin EU or the global platform, so please refrain from attempting to sign up.
