Johnny Lyu

Chief Executive Officer · KuCoin

Provided initial exchange listing, market‑making programs and community outreach that supported STMX liquidity

Enabled platform access for STMX by approving listing on an active trading venue and implementing initial market-making programs. The listing included allocation of trading pairs, cross-listing opportunities and promotional visibility to the exchange’s user base, which translated into immediate order flow and enhanced secondary market liquidity. Lyu's leadership at KuCoin extended beyond listing decisions to encompass global exchange expansion, user base growth, and the development of KuCoin's own ecosystem products including staking pools, lending, and the KCS token economy. Under his tenure, KuCoin became one of the top-five global exchanges by trading volume, serving millions of retail traders worldwide. His approach to listing emerging projects gave early-stage tokens significant exposure to an active global trading community.
