The collapse of FTX has been the most important cryptocurrency news this week. Its challenges came a few months after other centralized exchanges (CEX) like Voyager Digital, Celsius, and BlockFi. Therefore, there are concerns about the safety of centralized exchanges and their tokens. Here are some of the top CEX tokens to avoid.
Kucoin Token (KCS)
KuCoin is one of the biggest crypto exchanges in the world. In May, the company raised $150 million at a valuation of over $10 billion from the likes of Jump Crypto, Circle Ventures, and IDG Capital. It has over 27 million customers. In addition to its exchange, the company is exploring becoming a major player in other industries like the metaverse and gaming.
In a statement this week, KuCoin’s CEO reiterated that the exchange was completely safe and that it was in a position to handle any outflows. He talked about a major hack that happened in the exchange in 2021, which it managed to cover internally.
He also added that the company will release its Merkle tree proof-of-reserves in one month’s time. KuCoin Token price has crashed by more than 6% in the past 24 hours and over 19.54% in the past 7 days.

Huobi Token (HT)
Huobi Global is one of the biggest Chinese exchanges in the world. The company was started by Leon Li, a leading entrepreneur in the country. Huobi experienced substantial growth a few years ago. This happened as cryptocurrencies became more popular in China.
Recently, however, the company experienced slow growth after China banned digital coins. It also experienced substantial competition from the likes of Binance and Coinbase. Last month, Leon exited his stake and sold it to About Capital, a firm associated with Justin Sun. While Huobi is doing well now, there are concerns about most offshore exchanges.
