KuCoin ends services for Russia and Belarus users

KuCoin will discontinue all products and services for users in Russia and Belarus, effective immediately from 29 October 2026.

The restrictions cover every KuCoin product, service and feature, affecting the exchange's full offering in both countries.

“At KuCoin, compliance has always been fundamental to our operations,” the exchange said in its official announcement.

The decision follows applicable legal and regulatory requirements, prompting KuCoin to begin an orderly termination process for affected accounts.

Affected customers will receive individual notifications outlining deadlines and instructions for closing positions and withdrawing their assets.

Users who have not received an official notification do not need to take action, according to KuCoin.

The exchange also advised customers to follow official communication channels and remain alert to phishing attempts during the transition.

The announcement marks KuCoin’s withdrawal from providing exchange services to users in Russia and Belarus.
