KuCoin EU Expands Compliance Team In Austria Under MiCAR Framework

KuCoin EU Exchange GmbH has announced the expansion of its compliance and governance team in Vienna, as the licensed European crypto-asset service provider strengthens its operational structure under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).
 

The move involves the recruitment of experienced professionals specialising in anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance, as the Austria-based entity looks to deepen its regulatory alignment with European supervisory standards.
 

KuCoin EU is a licensed crypto-asset service provider (CASP) authorised under MiCAR to operate across the European Economic Area (EEA, except Malta) via kucoin.eu. Its permitted services include custody and administration of crypto-assets, crypto-to-fiat and crypto-to-crypto exchange services, the placing of crypto-assets, and transfer services on behalf of clients.
 

The company is led by a Vienna-based management team. Sabina Liu, Managing Director, KuCoin EU, previously led KuCoin's institutional business and spent more than a decade at the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), working with global investment banks and cross-border trading institutions.

Our priority in Austria is to establish a governance framework that reflects the expectations of European regulators and the responsibility we carry toward the EU market. By investing in experienced local compliance professionals, we are reinforcing a compliance-first operating model designed for long-term stability and transparency."
