VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has successfully completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, marking a significant achievement in its commitment to the highest security and compliance standards. The audit demonstrates the exchange's unwavering dedication to security, availability, confidentiality, privacy, and processing integrity.
SOC 2 is an internationally recognized auditing standard that evaluates how well companies safeguard customer data and ensure system reliability through rigorous internal controls. The Type II certification specifically focuses on the effectiveness of a company's internal controls over a defined period.
The comprehensive audit, conducted over the course of a year by Decrypt Compliance, assessed KuCoin's policies, procedures, and systems to ensure they align with industry-standard Trust Services Criteria. The independent review confirmed that KuCoin's security practices are robust and reliable.
BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, commented on the achievement, stating, "Attaining the SOC 2 certification underscores our dedication to implementing robust security measures and operational controls. This is also a solid step in our compliance strategy, from mandatory KYC for all users, to actively obtaining and applying for compliance certifications in multiple countries, including the MiCAR license, to now securing the SOC 2 certificate. Every step is a milestone in our journey to build a secure, transparent, and trusted platform."
This certification is not only a reflection of KuCoin's operational excellence but also a promise to its global community of over 40 million users. The exchange continues to strengthen its security protocols, enhance transparency, and ensure a resilient trading environment where both seasoned traders and newcomers can engage with confidence.
Looking forward, KuCoin plans to further bolster its security measures, invest in cutting-edge technologies, and maintain an open line of communication with its users regarding security practices and operational improvements. The exchange remains focused on building an inclusive platform for the global crypto community, where users can confidently trade and invest in digital assets.

HOTLIST is a expert-curated list reflecting the evolving values of the market at each stage of development. The selection process combines the expertise of a prestigious advisory council comprising both domestic and international experts, based on key criteria including quality, innovation, social impact, and sustainable growth potential.
Last year, HOTLIST 2024 made a strong impression on the tourism, hospitality, and service community by recognising more than 40 brands and 12 inspiring individuals across 28 categories spanning hospitality and resorts, destinations, technology, and experiential initiatives. The year also marked the first time HOTLIST expanded into a professional event series, featuring The Insiders Forum and the Honor Ceremony, attracting over 700 guests including senior business leaders and experts from various fields.
HOTLIST 2025: From Seed to Harvest
Entering 2025, HOTLIST is developed under the theme "From Seed to Harvest" inspired by rice, a symbol deeply rooted in Vietnam's wet-rice civilisation and cultural identity. From planting ideas and nurturing resources to harvesting sustainable achievements, this metaphor reflects the authentic development journey of projects, brands, and destinations within the tourism and hospitality industry.
At a time when the tourism sector faces multiple challenges such as climate change, shifting traveller behaviour, and global competition, the spirit of "From Seed to Harvest" underscores the importance of long-term vision, perseverance, and adaptability.
This year, HOTLIST 2025 introduces a public voting component in the final evaluation stage, enabling the community and industry professionals to participate directly in the selection process. Beyond fostering engagement, this initiative also provides an opportunity for audiences to share their firsthand experiences with the shortlisted brands and projects.

This year's list continues to acknowledge well-established brands such as Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An; Topas Ecolodge; Six Senses Ninh Van Bay; P'apiu Resort; Wink Hotels, among others. It also introduces international brands that have made a positive impact on the Vietnamese market, including voco Quang Binh Resort by IHG, Park Hyatt Phu Quoc, and Hyatt Place Halong Bay, Bai Chay.

The forums will gather business leaders, experts, and researchers to share insights and discuss key topics shaping tourism landscape.
On 19 January 2026, The Honor Ceremony will take place in Ho Chi Minh City to officially recognise and present certificates to the brands, projects, and individuals featured in HOTLIST 2025. The event will also serve as a B2B networking platform for industry stakeholders.
