More about KuCoin
Broker availability
Is KuCoin Available in 🇺🇦 Ukraine?
No — KuCoin is not available in Ukraine
KuCoin does not accept new account registrations from Ukraine as of 2026. Our records note one exception: KuCoin Platform (TermsOfUse). That does not open the door to new retail clients in Ukraine unless it says so. KuCoin Platform (TermsOfUse) will not take clients here. Restricted Locations include the Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions of Ukraine; unclear whether KuCoin intends a region-only restriction or a broader Ukraine restriction. This should be reviewed and potentially modeled as sub-national restriction rather than a full country ban. See alternatives available in Ukraine ↓
