VIENNA, Austria, Jan 28— KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today announced a strategic partnership with world-class cyclist Tadej Pogačar. The collaboration was officially unveiled in Vienna and marks the first time a top-tier global crypto exchange and a world-class professional cyclist have come together in a value-driven, trust-led partnership.

Built around the theme “Trust, Proven by Performance.”, the partnership reflects a shared belief that trust is not declared, but earned through long-term performance, professionalism, and discipline. Rather than a transactional sponsorship, the collaboration represents a rare alignment of values between two leaders operating at the highest level of their respective fields.

For KuCoin, trust has been built over eight years through sustained investment in security infrastructure, regulatory alignment, and operational resilience across global markets. As regulatory standards continue to evolve, KuCoin has strengthened its compliance framework and governance capabilities, reinforcing its commitment to building a secure and trusted digital-asset platform for a growing global user base.

For Pogačar, trust is earned through consistent results on cycling’s biggest stages, under extreme physical and mental pressure. Widely regarded as one of the most accomplished cyclists of his generation, he is equally recognized for his emphasis on safety, preparation, and professional discipline — principles that underpin long-term success in elite sport.

“At the highest level of cycling, trust is built through preparation, consistency, and a relentless focus on safety,” said Tadej Pogačar. “You earn it over time, through performance and responsible decision-making under pressure. That mindset strongly resonates with how KuCoin approaches trust and security.”

KuCoin CEO BC Wong said the partnership highlights the growing connection between elite sport and responsible innovation in digital finance.

“This partnership is built on a shared belief that trust is earned through long-term performance and professionalism,” BC said. “Tadej represents excellence achieved through discipline and consistency at the very highest level. At KuCoin, we apply the same principles as we continue to strengthen security, compliance, and governance — helping bring crypto to a broader, more mainstream audience.”

As one of the few collaborations of its kind, the partnership demonstrates how trust—built through sustained performance and verifiable results—can bridge emerging digital technologies with established global communities, supporting the responsible adoption of crypto worldwide. It follows KuCoin’s broader trust-led collaborations across sport and culture, including Adam Scott and Tomorrowland, and reflects a consistent brand philosophy centered on long-term excellence and credibility.
