KuCoin Expands Trust Framework with BitGo Integration and Asset Segregation Capabilities

Dual-layered trust model aims to meet rising institutional standards in a regulated crypto era

In response to evolving regulatory expectations and increasing institutional participation in the cryptocurrency market, KuCoin has introduced a major advancement in its trust and security infrastructure. The global exchange has partnered with BitGo Singapore to implement off-exchange settlement (OES) for institutional clients, extending its ongoing proof-of-reserves program into a comprehensive, dual-layered trust system.

This move builds on KuCoin’s “Trust Project,” a $2 billion initiative launched in 2024 to address the industry’s growing need for systemic transparency, custody separation, and regulatory alignment. In this next phase, the exchange is offering asset segregation through BitGo’s Go Network, an MAS-regulated custody solution allowing institutions to execute trades on KuCoin without transferring asset custody to the exchange.
