‍KuCoin EU Strengthens Compliance in Austria Ahead of MiCAR

KuCoin EU has expanded its compliance and governance department in Vienna, Austria, effective February 20, 2026. This strategic move aligns the exchange with the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR), reinforcing its presence within the European Economic Area.

The expansion focuses on enhancing internal controls, recruiting experts in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance, and implementing robust governance systems. Sabina Liu, Managing Director of KuCoin EU, formerly of the London Stock Exchange Group, leads the Vienna-based team. This initiative underscores KuCoin EU’s commitment to regulatory alignment, investor protection, and market integrity across the EEA.
