KuCoin Exits Russia and Belarus After Bitget and MEXC

KuCoin announced it will stop serving users in Russia and Belarus, pointing to regulatory demands without naming specific rules.

Affected clients will get individual notices explaining how and when to close positions and withdraw funds. No single deadline applies to everyone, and those who receive no message can continue as usual for now.

The move follows similar steps by Bitget, which blocked new positions from 18 October and set a final date of 21 October, and by MEXC, which made its announcement on 20 October. Both platforms cited compliance needs.

KuCoin also urged users to watch out for phishing and to contact support directly if they have questions about their accounts.
