KuCoin Earn starts Week 135 of Friday yield offers on USDT, BTC and DOT
Bitcoin Insider reported that KuCoin Earn's Week 135 event opened at 08:00 UTC on October 2, 2026, with products advertised at up to 9% APR and extra rewards tied to KCS holdings.
Why it matters
This is a promotional product announcement rather than a market-moving event; its significance is limited to KuCoin's own deposit and staking activity. It also shows how the exchange uses token holdings to pull customer funds into yield products, and no independent source has confirmed the advertised terms.

What happened
Bitcoin Insider reported that KuCoin Earn's Earn Friday Week 135 event began at 8:00 on October 2, 2026 (UTC), part of a recurring Friday series in which the exchange's earn team introduces high-yield products such as staking, savings, fixed-term investments, promotions and structured financial products. The headline of that single report advertises returns of up to 9% APR on USDT, BTC and DOT. The same report describes a KCS Loyalty Program that any user staking at least 1 KCS can join, with tiers from K1 to K4 set by how much KCS is staked and what share of total assets KCS represents, and said those users get extra APR on Fixed Earn products according to their loyalty level. Bitcoin Insider also listed the conditions: event products are available first-come, first-served, only KuCoin new users can apply for the new-user exclusive products, and Limited Time Offer products move automatically into flexible savings at maturity. Nothing beyond this one aggregator-posted account was available to the desk, so the stated 9% ceiling and the loyalty bonus terms rest on a single unconfirmed source, and the report itself is cut off before its full Terms and Conditions.
