KuCoin Wallet will allow users to manage their crypto assets, including non-fungible token collections. The service will be integrated into NFT marketplace Windvane – which was also developed by KuCoin – and audited by cybersecurity firm Hacken.
KuCoin was founded by Michael Gan and Johnny Lyu along with five other people in 2017. They started the business in Singapore, but the firm is currently headquartered in Seychelles. KuCoin offers more than 700 digital assets and various services, such as spot trading, margin trading, peer-to-peer fiat transactions, futures trading, as well as staking and lending services.
Last month, the crypto exchange just raised US$150 million in a pre-series B round led by Jump Crypto, which pushed its valuation to US$10 billion.
