★US Users Barred From KuCoin After $500K CFTC Settlement
Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"This ruling underscores the growing regulatory pressure on crypto exchanges, making it harder for Americans to access certain platforms. For investors, this means fewer options and increased scrutiny on where they can safely trade digital assets, potentially driving more activity to regulated, onshore exchanges."
