KuCoin EU strengthens its local compliance structure in Austria and proactively fills key positions.

According to official sources, following staff turnover in some key compliance positions, KuCoin EU proactively suspended new user registration and some new business activities starting January 30, 2026. Simultaneously, it launched a local recruitment plan, focusing on attracting experienced anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance professionals to ensure the continued and robust performance of key functions. These measures were proactively implemented before the Austrian Financial Markets Authority (FMA) issued regulatory information. The current regulatory notice mainly concerns the sustainable appointment arrangements for designated compliance functions. Once the relevant positions are filled, the matter is expected to be resolved according to regulatory procedures. KuCoin EU stated that compliance is the core foundation for building trust. The company will continue to strengthen its long-term development foundation in the European market through localized talent development and governance.
