KuCoin EU CEO Oliver Stauber Champions Trust and Innovation at HODL Summit 2025
VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 15, 2025 /CNW/ -- KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, proudly participated in the HODL Summit 2025, held on May 14-15 in Dubai. Oliver Stauber, CEO of KuCoin EU, joined distinguished panelists Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, Nils Andersen-Röed, Global Head of FIU at Binance, and moderator Nic Watson, Host of Encrypted Podcast, to discuss "Crypto's Trust Crisis: Navigating Security, Innovation & Adoption Post-Hacks." During the panel, Oliver emphasized KuCoin's commitment to security and trust, highlighting the industry's resilience and unity in the face of challenges.
Strengthening Crypto's Foundation
"Innovation drives growth, but trust secures the future," Oliver stated. "Security is the bedrock of KuCoin's operations, paired with sustainable growth as our guiding principle." KuCoin balances rapid global expansion with user asset safety through a focus on compliance and cutting-edge technology. The exchange has invested heavily in rebuilding its core systems, ensuring technical excellence and scalability for the long term.
Industry Unity and Resilience
During the panel, Oliver contrasted the crypto industry's response to security challenges with the 2008 financial crisis. "When Lehman Brothers collapsed, trust among banks evaporated, leading to years of suffering for clients and the broader economy," he said. "In contrast, when hacks occur in crypto, industry leaders collaborate swiftly. This unity ensures no user or the market as a whole suffers long-term damage, fostering trust from both users and the market."
Rebuilding for a Secure Future
Oliver shared KuCoin's proactive approach to security, noting that over the past years, the exchange has undertaken a comprehensive rebuild of its core systems. This initiative focuses on enhancing security protocols, improving scalability, and ensuring reliability to meet the demands of its growing user base while maintaining the highest standards of asset protection. These efforts reflect KuCoin's commitment to staying ahead of threats and delivering a robust platform for its 40 million users worldwide.
Building Trust in the Crypto Ecosystem
"Exchanges are the backbone of crypto's future, built on transparency and trust. Our ISO 27001:2022 certification is a testament to our unwavering commitment to security," Oliver asserted. KuCoin reinforces reliability with maintaining over 100% Proof of Reserves audited monthly by a third party, SOC 2 Type II certification, and the newly earned ISO 27001:2022 certification, announced May 13, 2025, as part of its efforts to build a more secure and trustworthy crypto ecosystem. Further, KuCoin recently announced its $2 billion Trust Project, aiming to set new benchmarks for security and compliance.
With five global regulatory licenses in hand, KuCoin plans to launch compliant platforms in Europe and Australia by late 2025, while expanding the KCS ecosystem to deliver greater value to its global community.

Prime Minister Carney announces Canada's G7 priorities ahead of the Leaders' Summit Français
OTTAWA, ON, June 7, 2025 /CNW/ - Fifty years ago, in the face of upheaval and geopolitical tensions, a small group of advanced economies formed what is now the G7 – a forum for co-operation, stability, and shared prosperity. In 2025, as global challenges intensify, the G7 must meet this moment with purpose and with force. Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, announced the priorities that will guide Canada's 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit, to be held in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17, 2025. Anchored in building stronger economies, Canada will seek agreements and co-ordinated action on three core missions: Protecting our communities and the world – strengthening peace and security, countering foreign interference and transnational crime, and improving joint responses to wildfires. Building energy security and accelerating the digital transition – fortifying critical mineral supply chains and using artificial intelligence and quantum to unleash economic growth. Securing the partnerships of the future – catalyzing enormous private investment to build stronger infrastructure, create higher-paying jobs, and open dynamic markets where businesses can compete and succeed. Other discussions will include a just and lasting peace for Ukraine and other areas of conflict around the world, and a forward-looking agenda that engages partners beyond the G7, recognizing that our long-term security and prosperity will depend on building coalitions with reliable partners and common values. Quote "Canada has what the world wants and the values to which others aspire. The G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis is a moment for Canada to work with reliable partners to meet challenges with unity, purpose, and force. Canada is ready to lead." — The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada Quick Facts This is the seventh time that Canada has held the Presidency of the G7. This year's Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, will take place on the traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy Nations of the Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika, and the Stoney Nakoda Nations comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney First Nations, and the Tsuut'ina First Nation.
