KuCoin launches fully regulated local exchange in Thailand: Introducing KuCoin Thailand

According to the official statement by its team, KuCoin, a tier-1 global centralized exchange, announces the debut of KuCoin Thailand. This marks the first fully regulated local digital asset exchange under KuCoin’s brand, a landmark milestone in the company’s mission to build fast, secure and user-friendly infrastructure for crypto users around the world.

KuCoin’s recent SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications further reinforce its commitment to the highest standards of security and regulatory compliance.

BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, highlights that this expansion is of paramount importance for KuCoin's presence in Asia, which is one of the most influential blockchain hubs globally:

We are thrilled to see the official launch of KuCoin Thailand, a significant milestone in our global compliance journey. At KuCoin, compliance and user security have always been guiding principles — not just strategic choices, but steadfast commitments to our users. From being the first global exchange to register with India's FIU to now launching the first local compliant platform in Thailand, this marks a significant step toward strengthening our presence in the fast-growing markets of South East Asia.

KuCoin Thailand leverages KuCoin’s world-class global technology, adapted to meet the needs and preferences of Thai users. With a focus on robust security, intuitive design and a localized user experience, it sets a new benchmark for digital asset engagement in Southeast Asia. 

The platform also offers seamless Thai baht fiat on-ramp and off-ramp solutions, making crypto access easier than ever.

Crypto adoption in Thailand gains steam: 18% of Thais involved

BC Wong also reaffirmed that bringing secure, accessible crypto services to users where they are is a key focus for his company in all its strategic moves.

Thailand continues to lead cryptocurrency adoption in Southeast Asia, supported by progressive regulations and strong government backing. 

In 2023, approximately 13 million Thais - about 18% of the population - were using cryptocurrency. Looking ahead, the government is preparing to enable tourists to spend crypto through credit card integrations, further advancing the country’s digital asset ecosystem.

The launch of KuCoin Thailand reflects KuCoin’s broader vision of making cryptocurrency accessible to everyone, everywhere, while remaining fully compliant with local regulations.
