KuCoin Launches "Trust, Built-in." Global Brand Initiative with New Film Featuring Adam Scott

Under its enduring "Trust First. Trade Next." proposition, KuCoin introduces a new brand initiative brought to life through KuCoin 5.0—a comprehensive upgrade designed to build trust into every layer of the platform.

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today launched "Trust, Built-in.", a new global brand initiative under its enduring brand proposition, "Trust First. Trade Next." The launch is accompanied by a new global brand film featuring KuCoin global brand ambassador and major champion Adam Scott, and is brought to life through KuCoin 5.0, a comprehensive upgrade across the platform.

When KuCoin introduced "Trust First. Trade Next.," Scott appeared alongside the company to help establish trust as the principle that comes before every trade, product and decision. His appearance in the new film continues that story. "Trust, Built-in." takes the idea forward by showing how trust can move beyond a guiding principle and become part of the technology, safeguards, tools and experiences that users interact with every day. At the center of the initiative is a simple belief: trust is not claimed; it is built.

KuCoin 5.0 is the product expression of "Trust, Built-in." Rather than a single product update, it represents a platform-wide evolution spanning six dimensions: compliance, technology, asset security, user experience, AI and wealth management.

Together, these upgrades are designed to build trust into every layer of the KuCoin experience:

• Trust is built into the foundation: stronger technology, asset security, compliance and operational resilience designed to support users over the long term.
• Trust is built into the experience: a smoother, more consistent experience across devices—simple when users want it, with greater control when they need it.
• Trust is built for what's next: AI-powered tools, wealth management capabilities and broader opportunities across decentralized and traditional finance, developed around evolving user needs.

Through KuCoin 5.0, users will be able to bring more of their assets together, trade, manage and earn through a more connected experience, and choose how they build their portfolios across devices. The upgrade reflects KuCoin's ambition to create a platform that is not only ready for how users participate today, but built for how digital finance will continue to evolve.

"'Trust First. Trade Next.' remains the long-term brand proposition that defines KuCoin. 'Trust, Built-in.' focuses that commitment on what users should be able to see and experience across the platform," said BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin. "KuCoin 5.0 is how we put that idea into practice. It is not a single product release, but a comprehensive upgrade across the systems, safeguards, tools and experiences that support our users. By building trust into every layer of the platform, we are creating a stronger foundation for how people engage with digital finance today and in the future."

In the new global brand film, Scott draws on the values that have shaped his career—preparation, discipline and consistency—to express why trust must be built through action over time. His role is to bring the initiative's central message to life while continuing the trust story he previously shared with KuCoin.

"Over the course of a long career, you learn that real confidence comes from strong foundations and a commitment to keep improving, even under pressure," said Adam Scott. "What I respect about KuCoin is how it brings that same mindset to the foundation of its platform—building with care, maintaining high standards and creating an experience users can rely on over time. I'm proud to continue this journey with KuCoin."

"Trust, Built-in." will roll out across KuCoin's global communications and market activities alongside KuCoin 5.0. KuCoin will share further details on each of the six upgrade areas in a separate product announcement.
