Best KuCoin wallets to store your KCS

You can keep your KCS on the exchange you purchased it on, or move it to a personal wallet:

• Some people like to use their own wallets to guarantee total ownership over their assets, or to use them with other applications like DeFi services.
• Hardware wallets are typically considered to be the safest type of cryptocurrency wallet, as they use a physical device to enhance security in a number of ways. You can take a look at some of our top hardware wallet picks for self-custody of your KCS below.

Is KuCoin a good investment?

As a coin, KCS itself has grown dramatically in value since its creation, becoming quite successful in its own right. There’s a set supply limit of about 181 million coins. Consider these aspects:

• As long as KuCoin remains popular, KCS is likely to keep being popular as well. It’s considered to be an effective store of value on the exchange itself and might remain fairly steady even if a particular coin dumps. Even if KCS gets pricey, it’s likely that there’s always going to be someone looking to hit the next 1,000 threshold for a larger discount.
• The discount on trading fees would be negligible without a massive holding in KCS. At current prices, you’d need roughly half a million dollars’ worth to get the full 30% discount on trading fees. But if you’re working with enormous volumes, then you have to calculate whether it’s worth it.
• The dividends might be even more valuable. There is the opportunity of a fee discount on a large KCS holding, and you might well earn more back on dividends than you spend in fees. Dividends take the form of a constant stream of a very wide range of cryptos added to an account. It’s worth considering whether, with a bit of time and the possibility that other coins might fail, KCS could become a lot more valuable.

Today's KuCoin price versus ATH
