1 BTC Project - What is going on with KuCoin?

By 2MFTProductions | 1BTC | 3 Apr 2026

For several years, my approach to digital asset management has been defined by a simple philosophy: if an asset is sitting idle, it isn’t working hard enough. KuCoin has served as the primary laboratory for this strategy, providing a suite of structured products, KuCoin Earn, Dual Investment, and Basic Savings, that allowed me to turn passive holdings into active growth. Among these, SharkFin stood out as the most effective tool in my kit, balancing market participation with consistent returns.

Over the course of 2025, these interest-bearing products added 0.000384 BTC to my total holdings. While a gain of roughly $40 CAD is low, it represents the potential for compounding. It was a gain realized with nearly zero manual effort, contributing to a DeFi journey that was moving forward with quiet, predictable consistency.

However, the recent disappearance of SharkFin from the KuCoin ecosysystem has kicked the legs out of from under the platform. My average APY on Bitcoin has been slashed by more than half. I get so many gdamn emails from KuCoin that maybe they did announce this, but I would never know.

I have now reached a critical decision point. I am willing to wait another 30 days to see if this is a temporary service disruption or if a comparable alternative emerges. But my patience has a firm expiration date: if a viable income source does not materialize by May, I will be moving my Bitcoin off-chain. The logic is simple: there is no strategic advantage to maintaining an exchange balance for zero reward. Without the incentive of yield, the security of a private wallet far outweighs the convenience of a trading platform.

Despite the setback with Bitcoin, my broader strategy remains intact. I am continuing to aggressively build my Solana positions across both KuCoin and Coinbase, where the staking rewards and APY still offer a compelling reason to stay the course. I will then funnel the Solana and BNB I stake on KuCoin into Bitcoin directly.

Ultimately, while the loss of SharkFin leaves a temporary hole in my earning strategy, it serves as a valuable reminder of the need for agility. My progress toward financial independence has always been a marathon, not a sprint. Whether I continue to earn through these platforms or retreat to the safety of cold storage, the goal remains the same: protecting the principal while never losing sight of the next Satoshi.

Does anyone have a good option for earning meaningful interest on Bitcoin? I would like the replace SharkFin somehow some way.

Let me know.
