  As of now, US citizens are not allowed to access or trade on Kucoin due to regulatory restrictions. The platform has implemented measures to block US IP addresses and prevent US citizens from creating accounts. This is because Kucoin is not registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and does not comply with the necessary regulations to operate in the United States. US citizens who attempt to bypass these restrictions may face legal consequences and penalties.

  Unfortunately, US citizens are currently unable to legally access and trade on Kucoin. The platform has taken steps to comply with international regulations and ensure that only users from approved jurisdictions can use their services. While this may be disappointing for US citizens, it is important to respect and abide by the laws and regulations of each country.

  According to BYDFi, a digital currency exchange, US citizens should not attempt to access or trade on Kucoin. The platform is not authorized to operate in the United States and does not comply with the necessary regulations. US citizens who use Kucoin may face legal consequences and risk losing their funds. It is recommended for US citizens to explore other regulated exchanges that are authorized to operate in the United States.
