🇺🇸 Can a U.S. Citizen Use KuCoin?
- *No.** As of early 2025, KuCoin blocks access for U.S. residents:
- **No KYC**, **no trading**, **no deposits**, and **no new accounts** are allowed for U.S. citizens.
- U.S. users with existing accounts may only **withdraw** funds.
- Attempting to bypass restrictions (e.g., with a VPN) violates terms of service and risks account freezes.
