## Opening a [KuCoin Account](https://kuycoin-login.gitbook.io/us/)

&#x20;Opening a KuCoin Account is very easy. Simply go to the KuCoin website, click the sign-up button and enter your email. KuCoin will send you a verification code that you can then input to set up your password. You can also sign-up for KuCoin with a phone number.

Once the sign up is complete, you’ll have the opportunity to enter your security settings. These include identity verification for logging in or transactions, a trading password and anti-phishing safety phrases. Once your security settings are complete, you’re ready to start trading crypto.

Since KuCoin is not licensed in the U.S., customers based in the U.S. can’t complete the KYC process or access verification benefits like higher daily withdrawal limits, fiat trading, higher futures leverage and quicker account recovery if you forget your credentials or your account gets hacked.

Cryptocurrencies Available on KuCoin With more than 700 coins supported by the KuCoin platform, new and experienced investors can find pretty much any cryptocurrency they are interested in purchasing or trading. The most popular coins include:
