  • Competitive fees

Cons

  • Support
  • Not in US

Our review

KuCoin lists a huge number of altcoins and offers trading tools at competitive fees. If you want access to smaller or newer tokens that are not on Coinbase or Binance.US, KuCoin is one of the go-to platforms. The exchange also offers spot, futures, and other products.

KuCoin is not offered in the US, so US users need to look at alternatives. Support and documentation can be slower or less polished than on larger regulated exchanges. For international altcoin traders, the selection and fees are a strong draw.

We recommend KuCoin for non-US users who want maximum altcoin variety and competitive fees. Always confirm that the exchange is available and legal in your jurisdiction.
