KuCoin Thailand Launches Fully Regulated Crypto Exchange for Thai Users
On June 13, 2025, the world of cryptocurrency witnessed a significant development as KuCoin, a leading global crypto exchange, introduced 'KuCoin Thailand,' a regulated digital token and cryptocurrency exchange. Operating under the auspices of Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), this platform aims to cater to the growing demand for secure and accessible crypto services among Thai users. Initially, access was limited to invitations, but now all eligible users can dive into the cryptocurrency experience.
KuCoin Thailand represents the first locally regulated digital asset exchange under the KuCoin brand, marking a pivotal milestone in the company’s ongoing mission to build fast, secure, and user-friendly infrastructures for cryptocurrency enthusiasts worldwide. The launch is not just about expanding cryptocurrency access; it also emphasizes KuCoin’s steadfast commitment to security and regulatory compliance, bolstered by their recent certifications, including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.
Leveraging its robust global technology suite, KuCoin Thailand has been tailored specifically to meet the needs and preferences of the Thai market. This adaptation includes a focus on security, intuitive design, and a localized user experience, setting a new standard for digital asset engagement in Southeast Asia. Moreover, the platform facilitates seamless Thai Baht fiat on- and off-ramp solutions, making it more convenient than ever for users to exchange their fiat for crypto.
KuCoin CEO, BC Wong, expressed excitement over this significant achievement in the company's global compliance journey. He stated, “Compliance and user security have always guided our principles at KuCoin. This launch not only prepares us to strengthen our foothold in Southeast Asia’s rapidly expanding markets but also ensures that we bring secure and accessible crypto services to our users.” Since 2023, Thailand has been a frontrunner in cryptocurrency adoption in Southeast Asia, with around 13 million Thai residents—approximately 18% of the population—utilizing cryptocurrency. The progressive regulations and government backing have laid a solid foundation for this growth.
Looking forward, Thailand is planning to enhance its crypto ecosystem with upcoming government initiatives, including allowing tourists to make purchases using cryptocurrencies via credit card integrations. KuCoin Thailand is poised to play a vital role in this evolving digital landscape, aiming to be the go-to platform for all crypto enthusiasts in the country.
