KuCoin is an international exchange based out of Hong Kong. I discovered it last weekend and was impressed at first glance from a UI/UX perspective. They officially launched September 15.
I signed up and deposited a small amount of Bitcoin to test it out. So far trades have been as fast and smooth as Binance. I can see this developing into a sister site to Binance. The team has done great work on it so far and it's just beginning. I put together a few details below so you can see what KuCoin has to offer!
KuCoin Shares
KuCoin Shares (KCS) are the token that belongs to the exchange similar to BNB on Binance.
Total supply: ~181 million
Circulating supply: 91 million
ICO price: 0.000055 BTC
Current price: 0.00007869 BTC (as of posting) Market Cap: ~$40 million USD
Whitepaper is linked on their Telegram announcements channel
Reasons to sign up!
80% trading fee discount (0.02% per trade) until October 27!
KuCoin will add ETH markets on October 14
Kucoin will list WaltonChain (WTC) on October 16
KuCoin shares 90% of trading fees with the users
• KuCoin keeps 10% of the trading bonus fee
• KuCoin shares 40% to users who invite others to trade on KuCoin via their referral link
• KuCoin shares another 50% to users who hold KCS on KuCoin as a KuCoin Bonus!
For example, user Bob holds 10000 KCS in his account on our exchange. In October the average volume of our entire exchange per day is 10000 BTC, according to our current fee rate, the trading fee we collect per day is 20 BTC. So this user will get 20 * 50% * (10000/100000000) = 0.001 BTC per day, 0.03 BTC per month!
• Pro/TradingView was released today!
• KuCoin only lists quality coins with teams they believe in. Currently listed:
ETH, LTC, NEO/GAS, OMG, QTUM, PAY, CVC, EOS, SNT, KNC, BTM, BHC
• KYC coming soon, it's a new exchange so everything is still rolling out!
• You earn GAS for holding NEO on the exchange
• Mobile App (iOS/Android) in November
• Will be decentralized in the future with KCS as the fuel
• Each quarter, KuCoin will buy-back KCS with 10% of profits until 100m KCS is destroyed

You are a bit mistaken here. 0.02% of 10,000 BTC is 2 BTC, not 20. Nevertheless, it's still a good deal!
