KuCoin announced on August 31, 2026, that it has partnered with FinChain to integrate the yield-bearing FUSD token into its RWA Collateral Mirroring Solution (RCMS). The integration allows eligible institutional users to map FUSD held in custody as collateral value for KuCoin trading accounts without selling or transferring the asset directly to the exchange.
FUSD is backed by real-world assets, including money market funds and highly rated government bonds. Under the new arrangement, institutions can preserve their existing custody and yield arrangements while using KuCoin’s liquidity, trade execution, risk controls and position management capabilities. This is designed to reduce the trade-off between earning yield and deploying capital for active trading.
KuCoin described RCMS as more than a technical collateral-mapping tool: it connects asset custody, collateral management, platform liquidity and trade execution in an integrated framework. FinChain supplies FUSD and its underlying asset backing, while KuCoin provides the trading infrastructure and risk management.
Tika Lum, Head of Global Business Development – VIP & Institutional Business at KuCoin, said: “For tokenized assets to become an integral component of market infrastructure, issuance and holding alone are insufficient; they must be used safely within prudent risk management frameworks.” Chen Zhao, CEO of FinChain, added: “Our collaboration with KuCoin marks a pivotal step for FUSD moving from asset issuance toward scenario-based application.”
The companies said they will continue to work together on collateral eligibility assessment, custody connectivity, risk parameters, and offshore market expansion.
