exchanges. It also supports staking and margin, futures, and P2P trading, which may appeal to more experienced users. However, there are some drawbacks to be aware of as well.
KuCoin’s operation interface is very intuitive and easy to use. Unfortunately, customer service support needs to be improved, and sometimes it takes a long time to get a reply.

KuCoin deducts the token after the slash of a trade pair as the fee token. For example, users will pay USDT/KCS as the trading fee token for BTC/USDT, LTC/KCS. It's worth noting that in certain trading, the same coin will be charged as the fee, and the actual trade quantity may be different from the quantity that arrives in the account because a certain part is deducted as the fee.

KuCoin’s STG-to-ZRO Migration Has Different Clocks for Spot and Futures Traders
A holder with STG in a KuCoin spot wallet and a trader with an STGUSDT perpetual position face different outcomes under the Stargate Finance-to-LayerZero migration. One is waiting for a token conversion. The other faces a scheduled derivatives settlement at an exchange-calculated index price. Mixing up the two can be expensive. KuCoins October 9 token-merger notice says eligible STG balances will be converted automatically at 1 STG = 0.08634 ZRO. It also sets an October 10 timetable for closing the old tokens markets and withdrawal route. A separate futures notice published October 8 governs leveraged positions.05:00 — STG trading bots, including futures botsOctober 10 deadline (UTC):05:00KuCoin service: STG trading bots, including futures botsScheduled action: Bot services end; remaining bots may be closed automatically06:00 — STGUSDT futures copy tradingOctober 10 deadline (UTC):06:00KuCoin service: STGUSDT futures copy tradingScheduled action: Copy-trading service and related positions are closed under its notice06:50 — STGUSDT perpetualOctober 10 deadline (UTC):06:50KuCoin service: STGUSDT perpetualScheduled action: Opening new positions stops; closing remains permitted07:00 — STGUSDT perpetualOctober 10 deadline (UTC):07:00KuCoin service: STGUSDT perpetualScheduled action: Contract is delisted and remaining positions are settled09:00 — STG spot tradingOctober 10 deadline (UTC):09:00KuCoin service: STG spot tradingScheduled action: Spot trading ends and remaining orders are
Blast L2 Shutdown Update: KuCoin BLAST Deposits Suspended as Bridge Withdrawal Reopening Remains Unverified
Blast‘s announced Ethereum Layer 2 shutdown remains one of the most consequential asset-access risks being monitored by WikiBit. The project’s published plan begins by unwinding ETH/staking-related assets held through Lido. The project estimated this could take about a week, and said normal withdrawals would be unavailable while the unwind was under way. As of this report‘s October 9 cutoff, WikiBit has not independently found an authoritative notice confirming that Blast’s normal withdrawal interface has reopened. That is not proof every withdrawal is failing; it means the all-clear milestone cannot yet be asserted.New development: KuCoin suspends BLAST deposits KuCoin published a separate announcement on October 8 temporarily suspending deposits of BLAST for what the exchange describes as essential maintenance. This adds another venue-specific access constraint while the underlying chain is winding down. The announcement does not itself state that KuCoin suspended deposits because of the Blast shutdown, nor does it mean KuCoin froze every customer withdrawal. The exact product and direction matter: KuCoin BLAST deposits, not a confirmed universal BLAST asset freeze.Original shutdown mechanism: unwind Lido-held ETH Blasts native-yield structure used exposure to yield-generating assets rather than treating every bridge asset as idle, immediately withdrawable collateral. The wind-down first needs to unwind assets associated with
KuCoin’s Older 25-Token Delisting: Withdrawal Window Has Closed—Do Not Confuse It With the October 30-Token Batch
KuCoin users face two different delisting batches whose withdrawal dates must not be confused. The older batch covered 25 tokens, with trading already removed on September 7, 2026. KuCoins original September 3 announcement set the final normal withdrawal cutoff at October 7 at 08:00 UTC. That deadline has passed at the October 9 reporting cutoff. This is a distinct event from KuCoins newer 30-token batch, which left spot markets on October 8 and has a November 9 scheduled withdrawal deadline. A user holding AUDIO, ACX, WAXP or REEF should not assume the newer November window applies.The 25 affected tokens The official older batch includes ACX (Across), HYDRA, KARRAT, PORTALS, GAFI, SCOR, AUDIO (Audius), BLUM, HONEY, SN3, NOBODY, TSTBSC, HPOS10I, LVVA, MTRG (Meter Governance), EMYC, DUCK, J (Jambo), MOVA, BFC, WEN, FWOG, GAIN, WAXP and REEF. A substantial part of this list consists of thin-liquidity tokens, but recognizable projects such as Across, Audius, WAX and Reef are also present. Being delisted from KuCoin is not proof that each underlying network or protocol has stopped operating.The three official dates September 4 at 08:00 UTC: deposits were disabled. September 7 at 08:00 UTC: spot trading ceased and related orders were cancelled. October 7 at 08:00 UTC: the
