- The CEO pointed out that by concentrating on both technology and compliance, KuCoin can maintain the highest levels of security and transparency.

BC Wong, CEO of KuCoina leading global cryptocurrency platform, recognized Hong Kong’s RegTech-driven and progressive approach to digital financial regulation at the “Regulator and Visionary Forum” on the main stage of Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025. He called it a credible model for long-term growth in the global digital financial ecosystem.
During the main stage panel discussion titled “The Globalization of Digital Asset Trading: Building a Borderless Financial Ecosystem”, BC said: “The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has pioneered a RegTech-driven, science-based approach to regulation. This not only improves market safety and transparency, but also provides a clear framework for industry development.”
He further emphasized that the foundation of sustainable trust is maintaining constant compliance.
“Platforms must ensure full and transparent disclosure to regulators. We cannot claim compliance in words but act otherwise. Trust comes from transparency, consistency and accountability,” BC said.
KuCoin markets itself as a Web3 financial infrastructure rather than just an exchange, BC said. With 1,300 employees now, more than 80% are engineers, demonstrating the company’s foundation in technology and safety.
He pointed out that by concentrating on both technology and compliance, KuCoin can maintain the highest levels of security and transparency and gain the trust of authorities and users everywhere.
“A truly trustworthy exchange must be trusted by users, regulators and its employees – and must maintain consistent standards across all jurisdictions.”
To promote the balanced development of compliance, security and innovation and contribute to a safe, transparent and reliable global digital financial ecosystem, he said KuCoin would continue to interact with authorities worldwide, including those in Hong Kong.
