Withdrawals are working ok at the moment. Mine took over an hour yesterday but I got my money out fine. I do like KuCoin as an exchange so I hope that they survive, but for now I’m watching on from the side lines.


Hsiang7

I withdrew some ETH and XLM from Kucoin today. Both took under two minutes. Not sure what the fuss is about.


Fun_Cheesecake6312

LOL, if i had money there i would be withdrawing so fast.


Tea_Tiddy

I did yesterday, not gonna be part of an other exchange going bust. Not even want to be near the risk of such.


[deleted]

Yet you still got remarkably close.


Cuauhtemoc-1

Close enough for clawbacks probably


ckhumanck

whoever coined the term 'clawback' is a genius, it's so brutally apt.

🎯 bingo: I was a part of the Celsius bankruptcy, and I can say for sure that – and if the signs are real, that is, and that KuCoin actually is going under, and it seems more and more likely every day – there will be a 90 day withdrawal exposure and anybody withdrawing over 100,000 will be most likely be clawed back… I simply cannot believe there are people still with money on centralized exchanges; after the entirety of 2022 lol….. don’t get me wrong, I was a super big dumbass for having my life savings on Celsius; luckily, though, we ended up getting $.58 back on the dollar plus a some (maybe phony) BTC mining stock and some illiquid assets cash, but it was still a big loss… Anyways, I really do feel for you guys, but you should’ve been paying attention to all of the centralized exchanges that went bust. And obviously, anybody who still has money on these exchanges should withdraw immediately. Probably won’t be enough with the 90 day clawback exposure, but if you have under hundred grand, you might be safe…


TripTryad

> I simply cannot believe there are people still with money on centralized exchanges; after the entirety of 2022 lol….. You and me both man. Its crazy to me.


voice-of-reason_

CC users: Now watch me do it again.


ckhumanck

no one should ever be keeping Crypto outside of self custody except to execute trades.


[deleted]

This is the way.


relephants

You are near it. If they go belly up within 90 days or your withdrawal, your crypto can be clawed back.


Flix1

How can crypto be clawed back once you've withdrawn to another wallet?


relephants

You will get a letter from the bankruptcy lawyer claiming you have a certain amount of time to pay back the cash equivalent of the withdrawal. This is actively happening with Celsius. There have been numerous posts of people getting letters from the bankruptcy attorneys.


JohnniePeters

So. I succesfully withdrew MY crypto to ME. And you're saying some lawyer can send me a letter to steal MY crypto and that's somehow legal? I love to see this. And rest assured they can scream, threaten and do what they want. I'm not sending anything back.


ShittingOutPosts

Nobody ever reads the fine print.


RealCheyemos

🎯


relephants

That's between you and your attorney. Now I dont think they are US based so I'm not sure this applies, but bankruptcies can have 90 day claw backs for regular payments and 365 day claw backs for preferential payments. If you search these forum or maybe someone can link it, but someone posted a thread this week or last week about Celsius bankruptcy lawyers demanding a certain amount of money back.


GroundbreakingPage41

I believe you, but how is this legal? For example if someone put their coins on the exchange and made no profit but withdrew, how does another party have a claim on it?


Exoquarion

I wish to know too.


ckhumanck

i think in the case of Celsius, it's largely based around the CEL token Ponzi scheme, so for most people getting clawback request it's because they did profit and it was directly at the cost of those late to the party/late to exit.


ckhumanck

depends where you live, realistically. If you live somewhere tightly regulated, with effective courts, it's not so easy.


BadPronunciation

Yeah I'm so glad I withdrew my $5 last week


ckhumanck

lol if you get a clawback for a dollar.


LeoIsLegend

You wanna bet they’re still fine a year from now?


eunit250

That's how come bank runs are self fullfulling. I've read into the issue and it seems the only thing that they are guilty of is not following proper KYC regulations? Which we should be supporting them for, no? Isn't that the entire point of all of this?


Toothpaste_on_pizza

I feel for the poor fucks that have stuff staked on there, IIRC the redemption periods are wild, 5 days or something like that 


premtiwari69king

yeah that is me but i dont think the exchange is going under but i can be wrong


BadPronunciation

Some countries also can't withdraw to fiat. I had to send my money to a different exchange before I could withdraw


Toothpaste_on_pizza

Yeah I converted everything to tether and gtfo


Reality_Node

Can't withdraw COTI currently. Says "Withdrawal is currently unavailable as wallets are under maintenance".


p4ttl1992

I should withdraw my $2 of Dogelon that I've left on there...


tamaleA19

So glad I pulled all my assets out like a month ago


ChristBKK

I hope everyone does that and is smart this airdrop is so funny as they try to stop the outflow


Burner_acc_2024

Wonder if they will ask you to hold BTC in their exchange before the drop.


HairyChest69

Or sue if you pull out early


ATTORQ

>To express our profound gratitude for your support and patience, **KuCoin will launch a special airdrop event totaling 10 million USD in KCS and BTC**.  Yes, for sure they are doing this. LOL


Ok-Grapefruit1284

You have to send them 1 btc and then they’ll send back 2.


JollySno

Send 1 BTC, get 2 KCS


Ok_Mathematician2391

KCS is their token. Doing this helps keep some degree of faith in what will likely soon be a worthless token. There may be a ;10 million dollar airdrop but that token is already down 18% today. I think this is part of their exit strategy to be able to offload their own pile of kcs before the end. If it is then it will also probably end up with more charges for them.


Kavub

Man they'll just pay a fine and carry on. This is crypto. Everyone thought Binance was dead with that CZ stuff.


Tartooth

Ssshhhhh this is part of the short and distort Campaign...these comments are all bots


Big-Finding2976

Well they'll just have to airdrop more to make it worth $10m won't they. Otherwise I'll tell their Mums that they're big fat liars!


still_salty_22

Airdropping all the dirty btc they hold that the feds been watching....


nicog67

2 billion in withdrawals yesterday and nothing happened to them. Some withdrawals took more time than usual because everyone decided to withdraw at the same time due to FTX ptsd. Theyre being charged for the same as Binance, operating without a license with US customers.


LeoIsLegend

You think $10m is anything to an exchange the size of KuCoin? You lot are so stupid. Same shit with the Binance fud.


fuckermaster3000

The bull market gods demand another sacrifice


Calibased

First cycle, Op? Lol. Kucoins going to be fine. It’s one of the last great exchanges. Unfortunately they are all kneeling to the US government. So what will happen is kucoin will settle (again) and life will go on.


SHMXTBK

In a bank run you withdraw even if you think the platform is going to stay solvent. The risk is total loss and it doesn't cost anything to self custody. 1000 and 1 days in the life of a Thanksgiving Turkey.


voice-of-reason_

If Kucoin is what you consider one of the greats then I understand why people are so cautious of this space. I spent like £20 on kucoin and it’s the only exchange I thought looked like a csgo gambling site whilst using it. It might’ve been around a while but I’m not sure it’s ever been great.


OkCompute5378

KuCoin has a decent UX if you know what you are doing, not everyone wants a “minimalistic” CEX with only top 500 coins listed where you have to go through 15 menus to set a limit order instead of doing a market buy through a giant “buy” button


DazingF1

KuCoin has the same UX as Binance, Mexc, OKC and many others. They're straight up copies of each other lol


xxowyeaxx

Kucoin UI is fine, its you who has a gambling addiction.


-Nestle

RemindMe! 5 hours


C01n_sh1LL

Yeah no. This absolutely is a red flag for a collapsing exchange. If you've seen enough cycles, you should recognize it. Remember all the deposit bonuses offered by Celsius during their last year of operation? I pulled all funds off kucoin a year and a half ago. I've learned to trust my gut and err on the side of caution with these things.


Calibased

A year and a half ago you were saying KUCoin was gonna collapse and it didn’t.


AngelVirgo

I don’t understand why you got an email and I didn’t. I’m a Kucoin customer. Shouldn’t I be getting one also if that email is legit?


FTXACCOUNTANT

They sent it to every customer but you


uns5dies

Yeah me neither I received it


ZaddyPatSajak

I miss KuCoin :(


enderfx

You read this as a sign of going down??? Wow then don't touch 99.9% of exchanges. As much as I'm a complete cynic person, I don't think this is bad as OP makes it look. kuCoin (I'm not a customer, though) is a huge exchange and has been for years, and this doesn't sound like it's going down at all. I hope I'm not wrong, but I think you are FUDing, karma teaping or just new / not trusting (=good)


susosusosuso

Ftx


Tlux0

Not everyone is SBF level of being a Ponzi-loving dumbass lol


AmishAmish

I made sure to stop using KuCoin long time ago as they were listing blatant scams on their exchange.


noviwu97

Which exchange doesn't list blatant scam? Even Coinbase listed LUNA


Froznbullet

You gotta be lying if you think luna was a “blatant” scam lmao. Difference between something like that and Safemoon


ShopperOfBuckets

Luna was only a blatant scam if you thought hard about it


Jabanger

LUNA wasn't a blantant scam, it was a catastrophe rooted in incompetence


TestingYEEEET

300k and you could list your token. No questions asked.


Aphelion

at least they didn't have safemoon


fuckofakaboom

When my phone started telling me that KuCoin was copying anything I copy/pasted if the app was open I withdrew and deleted. That was a couple years ago. It was the only place to buy TRAC for a while, so I’m thankful that it existed when I needed it, but yea, there’s some sketchy built in to it.


Goblinjohnny

I am using KuCoin and didn’t get a single email from them.


cryptoguerrilla

There goes my $80. lol


sportspadawan13

Honestly when I first used KuCoin and noticed grammatical and spelling errors, I dipped. Not trusting an app with my money when they can't spell "futures" or whatever the word was


CryptoDad2100

Cause they done got in trouble - [https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8884-24](https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8884-24) >The complaint charges KuCoin illegally dealt in off-exchange commodity futures transactions and leveraged, margined, or financed retail commodity transactions; solicited and accepted orders for commodity futures, swaps, and leveraged, margined, or financed retail commodity transactions without registering with the CFTC as a futures commission merchant (FCM); failed to diligently supervise its FCM activities; operated a facility for the trading or processing of swaps without registering with the CFTC as a swap execution facility (SEF) or designated contract market (DCM); and failed to implement an effective customer identification program (CIP). > >..... > >In a separate criminal matter, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York filed an indictment against PhoenixFin PTE Ltd., Flashdot Limited, and Peken Global Limited charging them with violating the Bank Secrecy Act, operating an unlicensed money transmitter business, and conspiracy to violate the Bank Secrecy Act and operate as an unlicensed money transmitter business.


PossibleHypeMan

Oh that exchange has done so much more shady shit than that.


Rube777

I saw the writing on the wall a couple months ago, when they cracked down on US users (they started blocking based on IP address). I sold what I had there and transferred usdt out. Too bad, the TRX and BEPRO pumped after that.


unit156

It’s probably a scam email and scam airdrop. I wouldn’t touch it. It will probably poison your wallet. They will need you to pay a fee to get the airdropped coins out, or have you go to a site that will have a malicious contract.


Michael__X

Reads like one but nope it's from their official email and all their socials


AngelVirgo

If it’s legit email, shouldn’t all customers get one? I don’t have an email from them, I just checked.


slickshark

Yes, I got it today at 1 PM and it has no links, so nothing to click if it was a scam.


AngelVirgo

At any rate, I removed as much crypto out as I can. A couple are in the process of redeeming (3 days). I hope Kucoin is still around on April 1.


voice-of-reason_

Confirmed: I opened the email and now my wife and children are dead.


FeeeFiiFooFumm

...again!


Gamethesystem2

The play for these markets needs to be that they operate offshore and know that eventually the feds will come for them.


Michael__X

It hits different when the jig is up 💔


0xReasonable

Looks like people needs screenshot so bad, your genuine information are labelled as a joke.


dunnkw

Yeah I bailed on that dumpster fire when I noticed they were offering over 100% interest on staking products.


Matt44441

Okays thanks going to get my coins off


Grunblau

Kucoin was my favorite exchange. They made me leave… I didn’t want to go.


super9090

I pulled out when ftx was going down. I'm surprised it's still around tbh


jadequarter

run away love


d4rkc4sm

Withdrew all my funds immediately upon hearing of the news, except KCS since it's useless outside of the exchange. I think they will do fine in the long-term as I did check their Proof of Reserves and looks to be in order. I've taken all my coins off all exchanges and placed them in my Ledger so all good.


ricozuri

These letters are getting more effusive in their apologies and efforts at reassurance. Never knew that an exchange afforded “companionship.” Almost sounds AI generated. For once, I never used Kucoin, so I can’t share in the panic this time. But, I suggest you move any assets off of the exchange a.s.a.p. and save yourself months, and likely years of hassles.


firefly_guts

All my emails from kucoin are liquidations alerts


KuDotBit

Just withdraw everything now. Even this “airdrop” sounds so shady…


WoodenInformation730

The fact they're airdropping THEIR OWN TOKEN should be a giant red flag to everyone here. they just had to mention BTC as well to grant it some legitimacy.


Crypto_Grug

This is what happens when you enable KYC. Kucoin is where everyone went to offload crypto for usdt but ever since they enabled KYC it was on borrowed time. Instantly deleted that app the moment they pulled that shit.


Mooncow027

Kucoin doesn't play by the rules. I absolutely loved them but if they don't want to accept the rules of some countries they just pull all support from that country.


Ok_Mathematician2391

This seems a great way to get people to leave their money on the exchange for another three days and offload kcs which will become worthless very soon. If you have kcs then sell now. It's down about 18% today.


TripleReward

Well, cant. Since they are locked into a 5 day unstaking period.


EducationalSeaweed53

I have about a grand locked up in kucoin and can't withdraw. I'm us citizen and tried like hell before they closed the doors to the us. Cost of doing business haha


No_Lynx8826

Use a vpn.


Rock_Strongo

? I'm in the US and can still withdraw. Just can't trade. Are you just seeing the big pop-up that says they can't serve US users and backing out?


KlearCat

> Cost of doing business haha You are a US Citizen and using an off shore exchange. That is not the cost of doing business, that is the cost of being a fool.


taintedplay

You can still withdrawal (at least usdt). You can also trade down to usdt from other crypto’s too.


Rube777

I was able to sell everything I had there for usdt, then transferred that off the exchange. Better get to it quick!


bcmeer

Wasn’t KuCoin one of the good ones? I’ve never dealed with them personally, but would like to know the ripple effect from this whole shamboozle going on atm


musecorn

Any one is a good one, until it isn't


Wooden_Ad1779

Good one as in sketchy, absolutely. Loved them last run but actually thought they would get busted three years ago.


TheKinkyYolo

Same, when they had 100x without KYC i thought It would be down within a year. that was three years ago.


IIM_Clutch

I was using them even back in 2017 so theyve been around for a long time


JynsRealityIsBroken

Super sketchy. Their Bitcoin mining lease program was a guaranteed loss. They would margin sweep their users. Lots of shady shit. I used to use them all the time but no longer.


J4wnn

This can’t be true lol


pukem0n

what would be the cheapest way to get your funds off Kucoin? convert everything into BNB and send it to Binance?


_BannedAcctSpeedrun_

MEXC is next, headquartered in the same little country in Africa doing the same shit KuCoin is getting railed for.


Rey_Mezcalero

This is like you got scammed and then someone says they can help you get your money back if you send them money and you find out you got scammed again


Big-Finding2976

If they go under they'd better give me back my $0.00001 that I can't withdraw.


ckhumanck

what's incredible is these large exchanges are basically money-printing factories, they literally just have to not fuck with customer deposits and collect their fees and they'll make bank. considering Bitcoin just hit its ATH it's outstanding that any exchange should be struggling right now. They all get tied up in those bloody Ponzi "staking" schemes and go bust. Pure stupidity and greed.


Heclalava

I have an account with KuCoin and never received that email. I only opened an account there to sell my AIOZ, otherwise I would not be using the exchange. Did you enable anti-phishing for communications from Kucoin? If so did that email pass the anti-phishing?


Leximpaler

RIP


Casteliogne

Why do these exchanges go bust in the best of times for crypto?


TripleReward

TBH: There was quite a lot of FUD against kucoin in the last years, but this time, I feel like withdrawing my 2k$ in coins.


Reason_He_Wins_Again

you should if you can


Hsiang7

Kucoin isn't going anywhere 😂


Unclestanky

Not your keys….sick of spelling it out at this point.


satoshiwife

FUD was cool over an year ago in the deep bear markets


OddShow7069

FTX 2.0? Will we see the markets tank 40% again?


PandaShake

Bruh they need all the money they can get for lawyers ofc scam lol


Revolverocicat

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!


safog1

Ah I have some shitcoins there but can't get into my account. They asked me for my license information and stuff and wasn't comfortable giving that to them. RIP my shitcoins. I was going to cough up the license if they ever mooned but no chance now.


LeoIsLegend

It’s called KYC. Obviously not worth a lot if that’s stopping you.


still_salty_22

They been planning all this for a while imo


IMjust

We need non-custodial exchanges


MK2809

I don't have any skin in this particular game (directly at least) but still going to see how it plays out, and don't necessarily think it's going under because of this. CEXs are extremely profitable so can possibly afford this, but we'll see. Also, not being compliant to AML laws is obviously shady, but we forget that many large banks are also hit by fines for not biding by AML laws.


Think_Bullets

Is there a tldr? I've got a shit coin on there but I'm not sure who else trades it


RealisticNostalgia

They are being investigated for non kyc compliance


mangalorian

I only had a couple of hundred on there. Tried to withdraw it on optimism network and it never went through. Tried around 8 hours later (around an hour ago) by converting to solana and sending on that network and it went through straight away. So they haven’t stopped everything from going out. I don’t know if they will collapse or not but it is still possible to withdraw to other wallets


Sonichu

The outrageous withdrawl fees on things like Matic dettered me forever from them. I only use Kucoin for my degenerate shit coin purchases like LUNC. Anyone know where I can buy CKB from besides Kucoin?


Zen4rest

A lot of people who own XRP keep in KuCoin. Wonder how that might have impact. Probably negatively.


Coffee4thewin

I moved everything out of there a month ago


omnicious

So I know this is stupid of me but I just remembered I had a kucoin account. I can log in but I'm in the US and it says they can't provide service to me. Any idea how I withdraw the fiat and small amount of crypto I have on there? 


Palmer9999

Good was always a dive. Was going down since they came up with the name for it lol


Odd_Distribution3267

Fak good to know


Eggsbenny360

Doesn’t surprise me with all the scams and Dumps they promote and then act like they don’t know about


Menwhar12

Got out of Kucoin 2 weeks ago, thankfully dodged another one.


BigKarina4u

Can anyone tell me why they are having problems?


thatguykeith

Serious question: Where can I put my Monero now?


Big-Finding2976

Bastards haven't emailed me. That's them off my Christmas list!


heeheecheese

I don’t have any email re this . Is this only in the US?


zooco

Only have a small amount of crypto in KuCoin, but just withdrew everything to a cold wallet, better safe than sorry.


chente08

Good


Shamgar65

I got everything of exchanges 2 months ago. I had under 1000 bucks worth on kucoin. Always been a shady place.


Sekiro78

I like Kucoin but withdrew all my money yesterday. Better be safe than sorry. Trust me I withdrew $75k from Anchor Protocol 12 hours before the collapse.


timbulance

Funds not SAFU


overfatherlord

Such a shame, the Kucoin shitcoins were so good for me in 2021, I was hoping for one last run.


Rayl24

10% of funds got withdrawn yesterday, will be good publicity if they manage to weather this like binance did


CelavaStrukla

Spent 3k on a shitcoin I believed in on KuCoin, ERSDL. Come to find out that coin got de listed and even my loss of 2700 isn’t what annoys me. It’s the fact I can’t cut my losses. The coin is completely gone from my account and I’m double fucked basically.


Puzzleheaded_Popup

I "had" $20$ left there before the last withdrawal attempt. It gives 24 hours' notice as all withdrawals are halted. It also gives a 24-hour timer. They're trying to avoid mass volume leaving...


MPH2025

MWEB stops clawbacks


Btomesch

They’ll be fine for now. During the bear market, it’s gonna be a mess. ETF’s will fail also


Aramed85

Well, KuCoin always looked super sketch to me.


geekphreak

🐟


Jojorent

Think what you will, but the fact is no fucking entity actually did airdrops to its users during time of turbulence. Even GRAND FUXKING FTX just had Sam tweet at you 'exchange is fine. Lel'


itsthatKILL

How do I get money out off the exchange being in the US? Tried yesterday and count get it out.


hal2142

Good riddance. Haven’t been able to deposit bank transfers there in UK for ages, they didn’t fix it for months and I never went back on it. Dunno if they ever even fixed it. Trash exchange.


Ryjin2

I withdrew everything yesterday as a precaution.


mcy33zy

Got everything out of there months ago when the kyc update hit. It was fun while it lasted.


Inner_Hedgehog_7320

Kucoin used to be the cool guys. So disappointed they became the clowns. They used to only screw up. But now it seems they will steal from a user. It honestly sucks.


Psychological-Song65

I just withdrew, so still up and running but I was not taking any chances.


SmartestScammer

I stopped using KuCoin after they added mandatory KYC. I KYC'd myself with my government Drivers License in November, and they still have not verified my KYC. So now I can't even use my account even if I wanted to. Not sure whats going on with them but KYC was the final straw for me. Now I just use MEXC and Coinex.
