KuCoin, the global cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2017, is celebrating its ninth anniversary with a multi-faceted event that showcases community engagement and a landmark partnership. On July 26, 2026, the company hosted the “On Cloud 9 Skybox Experience” at Tomorrowland Belgium, an exclusive gathering at the festival's Skybox overlooking the Mainstage. The celebration, which included performances by world-renowned DJs Nicky Romero, Alok, Steve Angello, and Hardwell, brought together global partners, institutional clients, ecosystem builders, and media representatives.
In parallel, KuCoin also announced a streaming event on social media, building anticipation among its 45 million users across 200+ countries. The streaming event, teased on Twitter with the hashtag #KuCoinTurns9, is designed to engage the broader community beyond the physical festival. Together, these activities are part of the exchange's “Beyond the Signal” campaign, which emphasizes that lasting industry progress is built on trust, innovation, and infrastructure rather than short-term market noise.
CEO BC Wong underscored this sentiment: “Ninth anniversaries are often measured in years. We prefer to measure ours in trust. The greatest achievement of the past nine years has not been our growth alone, but the confidence our users, partners and community have continued to place in us. Trust is the infrastructure that enables innovation, adoption and long-term progress.”
The Tomorrowland partnership solidifies KuCoin's role as the festival's official Exclusive Crypto Exchange and Payments Partner for both Tomorrowland Winter and Tomorrowland Belgium from 2026 to 2028. This collaboration positions KuCoin at the intersection of culture, technology, and payments, aligning with its mission to build trusted digital asset infrastructure. The exchange also highlighted its expanding compliance milestones, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certifications, along with AUSTRAC registration in Australia and a MiCA license in Europe.
The anniversary events are expected to boost user engagement and platform activity, though no direct price impact on cryptocurrencies is anticipated. For KuCoin, the celebration serves as both a reflection on nine years of market cycles and a forward-looking commitment to the next decade of digital finance.
