KuCoin becomes first crypto exchange certified to ISO/IEC 42001 for AI management

  • AI use in crypto crime rose 40% over 12 months according to TRM Labs
  • TRM's AI-in-Crime Adoption Index rose from 28 in 2024 to 54 in 2026
  • 201 crypto hacks recorded in the first half of 2026 — twice as many as a year earlier
  • 4% of incidents accounted for 75% of all losses, mostly infrastructure attacks
Why it matters: The certification sets a benchmark for exchanges: AI management is becoming part of compliance and security, reducing risks for users.
