Does Coinbase Wallet support KuCoin?
Nope, the Kucoin token (KCS) can not be bought via the Coinbase wallet. Instead, you have to buy it via the Kucoin Exchange.
As of right now, KCS is not available on the Coinbase Exchange. We think it's unlikely it will get listed on Coinbase until there is more regulatory clarity regarding centralized utility tokens such as KCS.
