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.

"Trust must be built on structure, not slogans. 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."
