An analyst named Ki Young Ju, who is the founder and CEO of the crypto analytics service CryptoQuant, has given a positive assessment of the Seychelles-based crypto exchange KuCoin. Despite facing criminal allegations and user concerns over its reserves, Ki Young Ju stated that KuCoin seems to be handling withdrawals well and has enough reserves to process them without mixing customer funds. Comparing KuCoin's reserves to the now-defunct exchange FTX, Ju noted that KuCoin has maintained a clear separation between customer funds and its own reserves. This analysis comes in the midst of legal troubles for KuCoin's founders, Chun Gan and Ke Tang, who are accused of neglecting an Anti-Money Laundering program. The market response to these allegations has been relatively calm, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index showing high levels of greed. Concerns over the reserves of exchanges like KuCoin can lead to significant withdrawals by users, as seen in the case of FTX. Market reactions to these concerns can have a ripple effect, impacting the wider cryptocurrency market.
