“I believe Kucoin is well prepared to take on whatever challenges it may bring. As a company that has tackled several major challenges all these years, the greatest treasure for our team is that we have a workforce that is growing strongly, and “We also adapt to market changes better as we grow. We also actively adapt to any changes the market may have in the future,” he said.
