KuCoin Welcomes Crypto Influencer

KuCoin, a Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange, has signed on crypto influencer Ian Balina to join the company’s recently announced Global Titan Ambassador Program.

Under the terms of the agreement, Balina will not only serve as a company’s first ambassador but will suggest new crypto projects for the KuCoin research and quality control teams, which will receive fast-track treatment if approved for listing.

Additionally, KuCoin will serve as Balina’s exchange of choice moving forward. Balina’s brand, Diary of a Made Man, will also rely on the exchange platform.

A former analytics evangelist at IBM, Balina is a blockchain and cryptocurrency investor, advisor and evangelist known for bringing a “money-ball” approach to initial coin offerings. He is also the founder and general partner of 100X Advisors and currently advises Phantasma Protocol, Nucleus Vision and Pareto Networks.

KuCoin has also partnered with two additional ambassadors, who will be announced at a later date.

KuCoin’s Global Titan Ambassador Program

Unveiled Aug. 10, the KuCoin Global Titan Ambassador Program was designed to partner industry-leading experts with the company’s research team to discover the world’s best blockchain and crypto projects and deliver them to the exchange.

As a Global Titan Ambassador, crypto influencers will have direct contact with KuCoin’s research and quality control teams in regard to suggested projects and will have the opportunity to provide input and suggestions.

In addition, ambassador projects will have priority among KuCoin’s teams and, if approved for listing, will be given fast-track treatment; however, the KuCoin rating team will make the final decision.

In a press release, Michael Gan, CEO of KuCoin, stated:

“With the launch of our Global Titan Ambassador Program, we will be able to find the best projects available within cryptocurrency with much more efficiency and speed. Teaming up with industry leaders and experts in the crypto-world will make our already strong research team even better. We are pleased to announce the launch of this program and are looking forward to the success it will bring.”
