KuCoin publishes a withdrawal restrictions guide and a separate anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing policy, so the existence of deposit and withdrawal controls is not in question. What no venue publishes is the trigger list. The part you can settle before the transfer is where the funds came from: a check of the sending address returns a verdict with the reason named, free in the Telegram bot, three checks a day.

KuCoin's support centre carries a "Withdrawal Restrictions Guide and Security Tips", and its legal pages carry an "Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing" policy — support guide and AML/CTF policy.
We cite those two pages and describe nothing beyond their existence and titles, because that is what can be verified. KuCoin does not publish the thresholds behind its controls, and any page claiming otherwise is inventing a rule for you to rely on. Treat every venue the same way here: assume controls exist, assume you will not be told what triggers them, and put your effort where you have information — on the counterparty.
A check of the address that is about to pay you names its history: sanctions designations, darknet markets, ransomware, scam and phishing clusters, mixers, drainer proceeds, stolen funds, no-KYC venues, mule networks. The result is a verdict — CLEAN, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL — a recommendation of Proceed, Caution, Review or Reject, and the decision drivers spelled out in words rather than left implicit.
That is a decision you can make in seconds and defend later, which is the opposite of the position you are in after a deposit has landed and a review has opened. Screen on the network you are actually receiving on: Ethereum, TRON, Solana or whichever the deal uses.
The lookup is read-only. No transaction, no fee, no notification to the address owner — so there is no downside to checking every counterparty, every time.

Individual traders use the Telegram bot — three free checks a day, verdict in seconds. A business routing customer funds through KuCoin should screen every incoming address with the API and review exceptions in the workspace.
It publishes a withdrawal restrictions guide and an anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing policy, which confirm that controls exist. Neither publishes the thresholds that trigger a restriction, so the practical control on your side is knowing where the funds you accept came from.
Send it to the Telegram bot — three free checks a day, no signup. The verdict comes back in seconds with the reason named, and the lookup is read-only.
Answer what support asks, once and completely, with the source of funds documented: counterparty, deal, dates, transaction hashes. Do not move funds elsewhere while the restriction is open — it does not change their history and it makes the review longer.

MEDIUM means there is exposure worth understanding but no designation and no direct criminal trail — an indirect hop, an older link, a high-risk venue in the path. The recommendation is Caution: ask the counterparty where the funds came from and keep the answer with your record.
No. Screening is a decision tool for before the transfer, not a recovery tool for after it. What it can do at that point is document the origin of the funds for the answer you have to write.
Send any wallet to the Telegram bot and get a verdict in seconds. Three checks a day, free, no signup. Desks that screen every deposit run it on plans from $199/mo.
