KuCoin, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange, has experienced a substantial drop in its Bitcoin (BTC) reserve. In March, the exchange’s BTC reserve declined by more than 25% compared to the previous month. This significant decrease coincides with the recent legal charges brought against KuCoin by the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ).
