Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
Over the past few days, the cryptocurrency market witnessed a significant shake-up as KuCoin and its co-founders face criminal charges from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
KuCoin’s regulatory challenges have sent shockwaves through the industry, particularly impacting the price of KuCoin Token (KCS).
Meanwhile, investors seem to have turned their attention to promising alternatives such as Mantle (MNT) and Kangamoon (KANG).
KuCoin faces legal scrutiny as KCS price plummets
The indictment alleges that KuCoin and its founders deliberately concealed the fact that a significant number of U.S. users were trading on its platform, despite being obligated to comply with U.S. laws.
It asserts that KuCoin failed to implement basic anti-money laundering policies, potentially enabling the exchange to be used for illicit activities.
Investors have responded to the news by selling off KCS tokens, causing a significant 18.39% dip in its price.
Besides the KCS price dropping drastically, KuCoin’s overall assets have also experienced a net outflow of approximately US$1.195 billion in the past 24 hours.

Kangamoon aims to create a vibrant community where participants can earn rewards through challenges and competitions.
The project’s native token, $KANG, plays a pivotal role in facilitating transactions within the Kangamoon ecosystem.

Kangamoon’s $KANG presale
As KuCoin faces legal scrutiny and Mantle (MNT) experiences a surge in demand, Kangamoon’s ongoing presale continues to attract attention from investors.
The presale, currently in stage 4, offers a 10% bonus on all purchases, enticing participants to seize the opportunity.
With over $2.9 million raised and 42% of tokens sold, Kangamoon’s presale reflects growing interest in the project’s potential to revolutionize the intersection of gaming and cryptocurrency.
