Exchange Security Under Scrutiny: How to Ensure Genuine Protection of User Assets?
In June 2026, JuCoin was flagged for abnormal withdrawal processing, with reports that a significant portion of its reserves consisted of stablecoins issued on its own proprietary chain rather than official versions, raising doubts about reserve transparency. The platform has undergone multiple rebrands, previously suffered losses due to contract vulnerabilities, and has heightened user vigilance regarding exchange security. CoinW, in contrast, has maintained an eight-year track record with zero security incidents. It employs multi-signature technology, MPC-based private key sharding and distributed storage, full-stack risk controls with real-time monitoring, and a publicly verifiable Proof of Reserves (PoR) mechanism to ensure transparent and auditable asset backing. Users are advised to self-check withdrawal conditions on their current platforms, verify PoR, assess operational history, and consider migrating to CoinW, where completing KYC enables secure trading.
