KuCoin Token (KCS)
KuCoin exchange token. Fee discounts, profit sharing, KCC gas.
Ranked 71st of 251 rated tokens. Scoring pass 11 Jun 2026.
What the numbers say
KCS scores 119 of 250 across the 25-variable framework, which places it 71st of 251 rated tokens and inside the upper half of the set. The framework verdict is WATCH.
The score rests on Buyback and Burn 7/10, 13th of 251, Protocol Revenue 6/10, 21st of 251, Revenue Trend 5/10, 32nd of 251 and Real Staking Yield 5/10, 37th of 251.
Against the same universe, KCS sits in the bottom third on Regulatory Safety 4/10, 213th of 251. These are the variables that would have to move for the verdict to change.
94.7% of eventual supply is already circulating, so vesting is not a live risk for KCS. Price has to be justified by demand rather than absorbed against a cliff.
The framework score gained 119 points against the previous pass (0 to 119). Revisions of this size follow a change in the underlying variables, not a change in price.
25-variable breakdown
Each variable is scored 1 to 10 and ranked against every other rated token, so a 7 that ranks 20th means something different from a 7 that ranks 180th. The rank is the part that is hard to get anywhere else.

We couldn't match KCS to a live market row, so no price, market cap or all-time high is shown. Publishing the figure recorded at the scoring pass would mean putting a months-old number next to analysis that looks current. The 25 scores below stand on their own.
