KuCoin publishes 0.1% taker / 0.1% maker as its entry-tier trading fees, and every number on this page links back to the official schedule it came from (last checked July 11, 2026). KuCoin does not currently accept customers from United States according to its published terms, so this page is informational for United States readers — the alternatives listed below do accept local sign-ups. Reserve transparency is part of the score here: the table notes what the platform publishes about its holdings. The service has operated since 2017, which we treat as track record, not as an endorsement. The United States is the strictest major market: several offshore venues do not accept US persons at all, so availability is the first thing to check before comparing fees.
The table below is the public entry-tier snapshot for KuCoin: published fees, verification rules, and account terms, each linked to the official page it was read from and dated July 11, 2026. Logged-in tiers, promotions, and regional product lines can differ from the public schedule, so treat these numbers as the starting point for United States and confirm inside the account before moving size.
