KuCoin Selected as Sole Global Exchange in Nigeria CBN Crypto Pilot Replied 1 hour ago - KuCoin Signals Commitment to Global Compliance BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, emphasized the importance of regulatory collaboration in shaping the future of crypto markets. He noted that constructive engagement with regulators is critical for improving transparency, strengthening risk controls, and fostering long-term growth, particularly in emerging markets. The pilot underscores Nigeria’s shift toward more proactive oversight of digital assets. As one of the fastest-growing crypto markets globally, the country increasingly focuses on balancing innovation with regulatory safeguards. By working closely with local and international players, the Central Bank aims to better understand virtual asset business models and associated risks, and to create a clearer regulatory framework. Growing Global Footprint Founded in 2017, KuCoin has grown into a major global crypto platform serving over 40 million users across more than 200 countries. The company offers access to over 1,500 digital assets and has secured multiple compliance certifications, including SOC 2 Type II and ISO standards. Recent milestones in its compliance journey include regulatory progress in several jurisdictions, such as registration in Australia and licensing efforts in Europe. Its inclusion in Nigeria’s supervisory pilot marks another step in its ongoing push to position itself as a globally compliant and trusted digital asset platform.

What is Forex Trading & How Does it Work in the UK?

Forex Trading is when you try to make profit from predicting if the exchange rate of a currency will rise against another currency.

To trade forex you pair two currencies together (example GBP/USD) & if you think the exchange rate of the pair will rise, you place a buy order for a specific quantity, to profit if you are right.

On the flip side if you think the exchange rate will fall, you place a sell order to benefit from the fall.

To be able to trade forex in the UK, you need to use the services of a forex broker whose function is to provide you the trading software, liquidity & enabling environment needed to trade.

Forex trading in the UK is totally legit & is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) UK.

If you trade with an FCA licensed broker you are eligible for compensation up to 85,000 GBP if you suffer pecuniary losses due to broker bankruptcy etc.
