PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, today announced its official partnership with UAE Team Emirates – XRG, one of the world’s premier professional cycling teams. This landmark collaboration will make its grand public debut at the 2026 Tour de France, with KuCoin’s branding prominently featured across all team buses, support vehicles, and fleet cars throughout the prestigious three-week race.
Under this exclusive agreement, KuCoin will serve as the team’s sole partner in the categories of Cryptocurrency Exchanges, Blockchain Trading Platforms, and Crypto Wallet Services. The partnership unites two high-performing organizations driven by a shared commitment to innovation, precision, and long-term excellence.
The Tour de France represents the pinnacle of cycling, where victories are forged through collective synergy—riders, coaches, mechanics, and support staff working in perfect harmony. Similarly, these principles of discipline, trust, and strategic coordination underpin KuCoin’s mission to build a robust and trusted global digital asset infrastructure.
“We are incredibly proud to partner with UAE Team Emirates – XRG and launch this collaboration on cycling’s grandest stage,” said BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin. “World-class achievements are never solitary; they require a dedicated team moving in unison toward a shared vision. These are the very values that have fueled KuCoin’s growth, and we look forward to empowering the team as they chase victory at the Tour de France.”
UAE Team Emirates – XRG, home to cycling superstars including multi-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar, has solidified its status as a dominant force in world cycling through relentless preparation and consistent execution.
