KuCoin Launches Fully Regulated Crypto Exchange in Thailand

KuCoin, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, officially launched a fully regulated trading platform in Thailand. Branded as KuCoin Thailand, the exchange opened to the public on June 13, 2025, after completing a successful invite-only testing phase earlier this year.

The move marks a key milestone in KuCoin’s Southeast Asia expansion, as well as its larger global compliance strategy. Operated under ERX Company Limited, a licensed Thai entity, the platform is now available to all eligible users in the country. 

Operated Under Full Thai SEC Oversight

KuCoin Thailand operates under the supervision of Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The platform’s legal operator, ERX, had previously run its own regulated crypto exchange. 

With this launch, ERX has migrated its existing users to the new KuCoin Thailand platform, allowing the company to merge its established compliance infrastructure with KuCoin’s global liquidity and cutting-edge trading systems.

KuCoin brings its SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications to the table, raising the bar for security, operational transparency, and user protection. These credentials validate KuCoin’s capacity to meet stringent data protection and IT governance standards while expanding its reach into regulated jurisdictions.

Local Features with Global Backbone

Per reports, KuCoin Thailand is custom-built to serve the needs of Thai users while maintaining KuCoin’s industry-leading backend technology. With an intuitive interface, fiat on-ramp and off-ramp options in Thai Baht, and access to deep liquidity pools, the platform offers a streamlined experience for both retail investors and institutional traders.

“We are thrilled to see the official launch of KuCoin Thailand, a significant milestone in our global compliance journey,” said BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin. “At KuCoin, compliance and user security have always been guiding principles — not just strategic choices, but steadfast commitments to our users.”

Why Thailand?

Thailand has emerged as one of the leading crypto adoption hotspots in Southeast Asia. As of 2023, over 13 million Thais , about 18% of the population, used cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Thai government has also taken a forward-looking stance, even preparing to allow crypto payments through credit card systems for tourists.

This favorable environment gives KuCoin a unique opportunity. At a time when exchanges are pulling back from markets with regulatory uncertainty , like the U.S. and South Korea. Thailand offers regulatory clarity, institutional support, and growing user demand.

With this launch, KuCoin becomes one of the few global exchanges to secure regulatory approval in Thailand — a distinction that gives it a competitive edge. As more regulated players enter the Thai market, users can expect tighter investor protection, better product innovation, and a broader range of digital assets.

Accessible Now for All Eligible Thai Users

The KuCoin Thailand platform is now live at www.kucoin.th, where eligible users can register and start trading. The full suite of services includes:

• Spot trading
• Secure fiat integration in Thai Baht
• Localized user support
• Access to KuCoin’s global asset listings

Backed by solid infrastructure and full regulatory approval, the exchange is ready to meet Thailand’s growing appetite for digital assets and blockchain services.
