About KuCoin
KuCoin is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange founded in September 2017 by Chun Gan, known as Michael, and Ke Tang, known as Eric, and has been led by CEO BC Wong since January 2025 after both founders exited management under a US Department of Justice resolution. Its futures arm, launched as KuMEX in 2019, added stock index perpetual contracts in March 2026 starting with TSLA and MSTR and has grown to roughly 135 RWA contracts covering US stocks, ETFs, commodities and pre-IPO names such as Anthropic and OpenAI. Contracts are USDT-margined synthetic perpetuals that trade around the clock, with funding on stock and pre-IPO contracts settled every 8 hours and base fees of 0.02 percent maker and 0.06 percent taker. Stock contracts carry the API flag marketType NASDAQ and pre-IPO contracts carry marketStage PRE_MARKET.
