KuCoin grabs the top spot in CER.live’s global exchange security rankings

KuCoin, a global cryptocurrency platform, has maintained its top-tier ranking on CER.live, an independent platform that evaluates exchange security and transparency.

The recognition highlights KuCoin’s commitment to delivering a secure and reliable trading environment for its over 40 million users worldwide.

According to CER.live, KuCoin currently ranks No. 1 globally with a cybersecurity score of 100/100, reflecting strong performance across areas such as server protection, user security, penetration testing, bug bounty programs, and certifications.

CER.live’s evaluation framework assesses exchanges across more than 20 indicators, including proof-of-reserves audits, active bug bounty programs, and independent penetration testing by external security experts.

KuCoin’s AAA rating, first awarded in June 2025 and maintained through ongoing enhancements, places it among the most secure exchanges globally.

“Maintaining our top ranking on CER.live is a powerful validation of KuCoin’s relentless focus on security and user protection,” said BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin.

KuCoin recently obtained CCSS certification, becoming the only major exchange to hold all four leading security and privacy credentials — CCSS, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27701:2025, and SOC 2 Type II.

The latest CER.live ranking adds to the milestones achieved under its $2 billion Trust Project, reflecting KuCoin’s continued focus on transparency, operational resilience, and regulatory confidence.
