BitKan was founded by Edward Liu and initially offered OTC trading, cryptocurrency price and mining data, and wallet services. The platform raised a $10 million Series B round in 2018, led by Zhongyunhui Capital, with IDG Capital and Bitmain also participating. Following the Chinese government's crackdown on ICOs and domestic crypto trading, BitKan closed its original OTC platform, then relaunched with a new aggregated trading platform and a rebuilt OTC offering in May 2019.
BitKan aggregates trading via API connections to partner exchanges including Binance, OKX, Gate.io, and MEXC. The platform is affiliated with Bitcoin.com. Its native KAN token, with a stated maximum issuance of 10 billion tokens, is used for platform-service payments, fee discounts, content payments, and additional services. KAN was listed on BIT Exchange on August 18, 2025.
BitKan has faced regulatory scrutiny: on July 23, 2024, the UK Financial Conduct Authority added BitKan to its Warning List, stating the firm was not authorised and may have been targeting people in the UK without permission. The platform remained operational and its official website continued publishing cryptocurrency content as of June 2026. BitKan has 59,212 followers as of August 2026 and has published 14,999 posts.
