Kucoin Overview
KuCoin is a crypto exchange launched way back in 2017. Ever since, it has amassed to be one of the largest cryptocurrency exchange platforms globally with more than 10 million users,

The Holders of KuCoin (KCS) are given a bonus of close to 90% of the money paid in trading fees.
Also, the company is popular among traders for its low fee when initiating a withdrawal, its fee is among the lowest (if not the lowest)in the entire crypto space.
However, The Kucoin exchange is not available in every country, They are not present in some locations due to the policies and regulations set by those nations but good news! you can still register and access some Kucoins features if your country is not supported. Although unverified users have restricted access entry.
Can you Withdraw from KuCoin?
Yes, of course, you can withdraw from Kucoins, but the process is different from what we might be used to. But, sure you can make a withdrawal and cash out.
However, Unlike Binance, and Coinbase, withdrawing Fiat currencies is a bit complex as Kucoin doesn’t provide the service to withdraw Fiat currency to bank accounts directly. for instance, you can not withdraw USD to your Local bank, SEPA, SWIFT, ACH, or any type of payment system.
Unfortunately, Kucoins users are only permitted to withdraw cryptocurrency assets (e.g Bitcoin. Ethereum etc).
So, to withdraw a Fiat currency, you will need to transfer or send your crypto asset to another platform that supports the withdrawal of Fiat currency to a bank account or any type of traditional payment system.
Ensure while sending your crypto coins that the receiving platform wallet supports the same coin.
To transfer coins unsupported by the receiving wallet, you will have to convert or swap it to a popular asset or coins well-supported by the receiving platform.
NB: You should put into consideration, the transaction cost of the selected cryptocurrency you converted/swapped to. For instance, Ethereum transfer is costly because of the elevated gas fee
