An excerpt from KuCoin’s Special Treatment statement reads:

The Exchange may, during the observation period, decide to delist the ST Project if the Exchange believes the ST Project fails to take necessary actions to remedy the Negative Situation. Nevertheless, the Exchange reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, to immediately delist the ST Project if the Exchange believes circumstances warrant so.

The statement mentions that projects may be delisted if they are observed to have low liquidity for a certain period of time. Issues that can also disqualify a project from continued listing include-

Failure to inform the exchange of material changes

Failure to cooperate with the exchange for regular routine inspection

Security failings

Deviations from project whitepapers

Lack of progress communication on the project’s website

Misleading or untrue information disclosure.

 

Other plausible deal breakers include project insolvency, involvement of project team members in questionable activities and investigations regarding illegal activities, wash trading, insider trading and market manipulation. Likewise, any other situation that the platform deems risky for its customers or its reputation.

TCU reported on September 10, According to a report released by the Australian Financial Review, KuCoin has invested AUD $3 million into Bitcoin Australia, which is a domestic exchange that allows Bitcoin trading along with Ethereum buying.

Consequently, the investment will allow KuCoin to penetrate the Australian market with an enhanced focus on the upper echelon of investors. Likewise, using its recently acquired finances, Bitcoin Australia will expand its efforts into the global retail investor territory. Since its inception in the year 2015, Bitcoin Australia has expanded its reach into countries such as Canada and Netherlands.
