Our opinion
KuCoin is particularly well-suited for those interested in trading more exotic altcoins. Few other exchanges offer such an enormous selection and variety of coins. However, instant purchase costs are relatively high due to the spread included in the price, despite no visible trading fees being charged. For lower costs, users can switch to spot trading (from 0.1% maker/taker fees). While the platform is fairly well-organized, it may still feel overwhelming for beginners, which is why we'd recommend KuCoin to somewhat more experienced investors. KuCoin offers various security features, but doesn't enjoy the highest level of trust due to a lack of regulation and an opaque company headquarters. We've also come across rather mixed user reviews in our research. We like using KuCoin as a supplementary exchange for buying coins that aren't yet listed on the more well-known platforms.
