What is Kucoin? Kucoin is an exchange cryptocurrency. They are included in one of the new exchanges, the name Kucoin is already familiar in the Crypto world. Kucoin also has their own coin called Kucoin Shares (KCS) as is the case with Binance (BNB).

In October 2017, the new KCS entered the Crypto world, and their coin prices rose rapidly in January 2018, which can match one of the best exchanges, Binance. The price of KCS in the end of October 2017 was only $ 0.90 per coin, and soared rapidly to touch the figure of $ 20 in early January 2018. Because of this, Kucoin can be called an exchange that can defeat Binance.

The difference between Kucoin and Indodax is coin-coin targets that are listed and also Kucoin does not serve buying and selling with Fiat ($ or Rupiah). They only provide buying and selling services for fellow Cryptocurrency.

The coin-coin target that Kucoin will list is coin-coin which has just finished the Initial Coin Offering (ICO). They are famous for likes to do competitions that give big gifts for coin-coins that they just listed. It is this competition that provides coin-coin volume and prices increase dramatically.
