A Swiss investor alleges that KuCoin has yet to pay more than $2 million ordered by the Seychelles Supreme Court in a dispute involving 21 million delisted CHP tokens. In a December 2025 ruling, the court found that KuCoin could not classify unwithdrawn tokens as “abandoned” and ordered the exchange’s Seychelles entities to compensate the investor. The case could raise questions about exchange handling of delisted assets and customer claims. KuCoin reportedly did not appear in court and has not publicly responded to the allegations.
