The transition, effective April 22, migrated all existing ERX users and introduced the KuCoin TH app for Android and iOS. Thailand’s crypto sector is one of the most active in Southeast Asia, bolstered by progressive regulation and increasing adoption. KuCoin joins a competitive field that includes eight other SEC-licensed exchanges, including Bitkub, Upbit , Gulf Binance, Thai Digital Assets Exchange, WAAN Exchange, InnovestX Securities, GMO-Z.com Cryptonomics, and Orbix Trade. Despite regulatory tightening and restrictions on crypto payments, interest in trading remains high. KuCoin is also looking to expand into Europe by securing a Markets in Crypto-Assets license. In February this year, the exchange submitted an application in Austria, aiming to gain approval to operate throughout the European Union.
