Who Are the KuCoin Founders?

There are two tech geeks who founded KuCoin and they were early adopters of the blockchain. Having founded his first startup at the age of 16, one started mining BTC when he heard about Bitcoin from his boss in 2012.

As the adoption of blockchain continued, they realized that it was reshaping the financial system into one that would not only serve richest few, but everyone in the world — even the less educated, unemployed, and unbanked. By the end of 2013, they wrote the first pieces of KuCoin's of code in a cafe, starting a People's Exchange that would allow all to get involved with crypto.

In 2020, when KuCoin is a top-5 exchange in the world, Johnny Lyu stepped in as the CEO. Before joining KuCoin, he had accumulated abundant experience in tech, internet and e-commerce industries.
