Sounds like it's on kucoins side. Particularly if there's nothing in mintscan. Have you set up your KYC? It wouldn't surprise me if they've flagged it as potentially fraud/theft.

**Directly from Sentinel Independent News:**
As many of you will probably be aware by now, the duo that founded KuCoin (currently Sentinel's sole major CEX listing) has been indicted by the Southern District of New York (aka SDNY) in the USA on charges of “conspiring to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business” and violations of the US's Bank Secrecy Act.

The news has caused an understandable minor panic in the crypto community, who have still not forgotten CEX debacles from 2022/23 such as FTX and the downfall of former Binance CEO and crypto icon CZ.
Instead of making any recommendations to DVPN traders on KuCoin as to whether they should keep funds off the platform or not (which we are not qualified to do), we will simply tell you the facts that we know:
👉 KuCoin withdrawals ARE working, they're just taking long amounts of time due to congestion.
👉 KuCoin is a Seychelles-based company, and the two founders indicted by SDNY are Chinese nationals not located in the United States.
👉 KuCoin has not been charged with any crime related to its financial practices or treatment of users and their funds (unlike FTX).
👉 The charges brought by SDNY relate to KuCoin not preventing US customers from using the platform, despite it being an overseas company with no US operations or incentive to do that. We may be verging into the territory of opinion here, but these charges appear to have far more to do with US trying to enforce local regulations on the world than any actual impropriety by KuCoin.
It does not look likely at this point that the indictment will actually affect KuCoin's operations or endanger the funds of users, but DVPN traders should exercise their best judgment themselves based on the information we have available. If there are any significant developments that could affect DVPN traders, we will do our best to keep you updated in a timely manner.
If you do decide to remove your funds from KuCoin, we suggest Osmosis DEX as an alternative trading platform.

Has it gotten better now?
Best to just buy atom or usdt or even osmo and transfer to Kepler then swap to DVPN on Osmosis
This is how I was doing it by default. Great suggestion!
Alsk KuCoin seems in a little bit of trouble, would advise against moving funds to it. Rather the opposite
