Ceffu and KuCoin Institutional Strengthen Institutional Markets with MirrorX Integration

2026-01-19  •  3 min read

Ceffu is excited to announce its collaboration with KuCoin Institutional, the institutional arm of global crypto exchange KuCoin, to integrate Ceffu's off-exchange settlement (OES) solution, also known as MirrorX.

The integration with MirrorX enables institutions to trade seamlessly on KuCoin while keeping their digital assets safeguarded in Ceffu’s custody. This structure provides institutions with full asset control and segregation, enabling them to mitigate counterparty risk.

Ceffu’s platform combines multi-party computation (MPC) technology with customizable multi-approval scheme (MAS), transaction approval policy (TAP) and secure cold storage infrastructure to meet clients’ custodial needs. 

As institutions seek greater security and flexibility in digital asset management, Ceffu is driving innovation with trusted solutions that strengthen custody, risk management and operational efficiency.

“KuCoin’s integration with MirrorX elevates secure institutional trading. It empowers clients to move with agility while retaining complete asset control, setting a higher standard for custody and market access,” said Ian Loh, CEO of Ceffu.

Enhancing Operational Efficiency with Off-Chain Settlement

With assets securely held in Ceffu’s custody, institutions can delegate a portion of their funds to KuCoin via MirrorX and trade without having to move assets to the exchange. This enables institutions to manage capital more efficiently, adapt their strategies with agility and seize market opportunities – all while retaining full control of their assets.

"Institutional trust begins with infrastructure — the foundation of security, transparency, and compliance at every level," said BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin.

Efficient Post-Trade Settlement
Ceffu’s post-trade settlement model maintains client assets securely in custodial wallets while mirroring funds on KuCoin. 

Our automated settlement workflows operate across custody rails and partner integrations, settling all positions off-chain every 4 hours to reduce manual steps and minimize operational overhead. The result is clearer auditability, stronger compliance controls, and more reliable settlement throughout the trade lifecycle.

Advancing Institutional Adoption Together

This partnership with KuCoin Institutional reinforces our vision to grow institutional digital asset adoption through our secure custody infrastructure, empowering institutions to navigate digital asset markets with confidence.

The fastest bridge to global liquidity awaits.
