- KuCoin CEO BC Wong praised Hong Kong’s RegTech-based regulation as a credible global model for digital finance.
- KuCoin plans to deepen collaboration with global regulators to advance compliance and innovation in digital asset markets.
KuCoin CEO BC Wong has praised Hong Kong’s regulatory technology approach to digital finance, calling it a credible model for global markets. BC said Hong Kong’s science-based regulatory strategy positions it as a leader in building a trustworthy digital finance future.
Wong said this at the “Regulator and Visionary Forum” during FinTech Week, stating that:
“The SFC’s RegTech-driven approach doesn’t just safeguard markets, it creates clarity and confidence for global participants,”
During the main stage panel titled “The Globalization of Digital Asset Trading: Building a Borderless Financial Ecosystem,” Wong acknowledged Hong Kong’s regulatory progress. He said the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has taken a RegTech-driven, science-based approach to regulation. According to him, this improves market safety, increases transparency, and gives the industry a clear framework for growth. He insisted on the necessity of acting and not just talking, saying:
“Compliance must go beyond words; it must be consistent, transparent, and accountable.”
Wong’s remarks are a reflection of what KuCoin has been doing. Just recently became the first top platform to secure a full suite of global security certifications, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and CCSS. This exchange got the full international certifications for transparency and user protection.
During that forum, Wong stressed that long-term trust in the digital asset industry depends on consistent compliance and open engagement with regulators. He noted that exchanges must demonstrate responsibility through disclosure and governance standards that align with local and international requirements.
KuCoin’s Commitment to Technology and Compliance
Wong also highlighted KuCoin’s identity as a Web3 financial infrastructure provider, rather than just a trading platform. With 1,300 employees and over 80% of whom are engineers, KuCoin’s operations emphasize technological excellence and regulatory alignment.
“This dual focus on technology and compliance enables us to uphold the highest standards of safety and transparency.”
Wong said, noting that this foundation has strengthened KuCoin’s relationships with both users and regulators worldwide.
He added that Hong Kong’s leadership in RegTech mirrors KuCoin’s core belief. A trusted exchange, he said, must maintain reliability and consistency across all jurisdictions. As we reported earlier, the exchange has been expanding with several partnerships. Such partnerships include the collaboration with Plaza Premium Lounge through KuCard
Wong reaffirmed the company’s commitment to ongoing collaboration with global regulators to advance balanced growth in compliance, innovation, and security.
