KuCoin Officially Launches Licensed Crypto Exchange in Thailand

Highlights:

• KuCoin opens a licensed crypto exchange in Thailand, bringing secure trading to local users.
• Thai users can now trade with full support, including Thai Baht transactions.
• KuCoin strengthens security with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications.

KuCoin, a leading global crypto exchange, has officially rolled out its fully regulated digital asset platform in Thailand, marking a major milestone in its Southeast Asian growth strategy. Now operating under the name KuCoin Thailand, the newly launched platform is officially available to qualified users across the country. It runs with full authorization from Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Public access began on June 13, 2025, after a successful early-access period limited to invited users. 

The official launch was announced during a press event in Bangkok. It highlights KuCoin’s commitment to offering localized services while fully complying with Thai regulations. KuCoin has entered the Thai market by acquiring ERX Company, the first digital asset exchange in Thailand licensed by the country’s SEC. On April 22, the platform completed its transformation and began operating under the new name, KuCoin Thailand. As part of this shift, all former ERX users were smoothly transferred to the KuCoin-managed system.

Cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin has launched KuCoin Thailand, a licensed digital token and cryptocurrency exchange regulated by Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). After an initial invite-only phase, the platform is now open to all eligible users in Thailand.

KuCoin Thailand Offers Localized Features and Boosts Security Standards

The revamped platform has been built specifically for Thai users, merging KuCoin’s international infrastructure with functions customized for the local trading environment. One of the main highlights is the ability to easily deposit and withdraw Thai Baht, making it simpler for Thai users to trade. Recently, the company earned two important international security certificates—SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001—which show that it takes data protection and system security seriously. 

KuCoin CEO BC Wong said:

“This marks a significant step toward strengthening our presence in the fast-growing markets of Southeast Asia, and more importantly, bringing secure, accessible crypto services to users where they are.”

KuCoin Enters Thai Market to Leverage Rising Interest in Cryptocurrency

The exchange is investing in Thailand as it’s a top country for crypto use. Data from a year ago shows that nearly 13 million people in Thailand, around 18% of the population, were active crypto users. Thai authorities are also encouraging more crypto use, including plans to let tourists spend crypto through credit cards. 

KuCoin joins Thailand’s crypto market with eight other SEC-approved exchanges. These include names like Upbit, Gulf Binance, Bitkub, and Thai Digital Assets Exchange. Other licensed players are WAAN Exchange, InnovestX Securities, Orbix Trade, and GMO-Z.com Cryptonomics. Even though Thai regulators have imposed stricter rules and banned crypto for payments, people are still very interested in trading digital assets.

Now that KuCoin Thailand is live, eligible users can sign up, use a full range of trading services, and join the country’s fast-growing crypto market. This move helps KuCoin expand further in Southeast Asia and highlights the importance of following regulations in the global crypto space. Besides this, KuCoin plans to expand into Europe and has applied for a MiCA license.
