Be aware of FUDs!
Not sure who's spreading these sheer rumors, and what their intentions are, but #KuCoin does not have any exposure to LUNA, 3AC, Babel, etc.
No “immense suffer” from any “coin collapse”, no plan to halt withdrawal, everything on KuCoin is operating well.

Three Arrows Capital (3AC), a crypto hedge fund filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in New York on Friday.
Lyu also revealed that the company has no plans to stop withdrawals anytime soon and KuCoin is operating just fine.
He also revealed some interesting facts about KuCoin, one of the few companies still hiring and active during this market downturn. For example, they finished a $150 million fundraise at a 10 billion valuation in May which is very impressive considering the situation of things.
Some recent facts about #KuCoin and you can make your own judgment:
– We finished $150 M fundraising at $10 B valuation in May
– We are one of the few platforms that are still hiring
– We are more active in the bear market, launching new features like OCO order, fiat pair…
