KuCoin Streamlines Institutional Lending with Unified Trading Account Integration
KuCoin has expanded its Institutional Interest-Free Lending Program to include integration with the exchange's Unified Trading Account (UTA), allowing eligible institutional clients to use borrowed capital across Spot, Margin and Futures from a single account structure.
The updated terms now require newly registered API clients to have 10 million USDT in external 30-day trading volume, down from the previous 30 million USDT threshold. Borrowed assets can be used across supported products within the unified account, giving institutional participants greater flexibility in how they allocate collateral and capital.
The UTA integration is designed to reduce the need to move funds between separate trading accounts, providing a more streamlined experience for institutional clients.
KuCoin's Head of Institutional & VIP, Alison Qin, stated that 'Professional market participants need timely, flexible and capital-efficient access to liquidity. Effective institutional lending infrastructure must combine financing at scale, tailored terms and competitive pricing so clients can execute sophisticated strategies with confidence.'
