PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust, today announced that Shelton Qiu, former Marketing Director and Business Development Lead at SparkPool, has joined the KuPool team as Chief Operation Officer. This strategic addition further strengthens KuPool’s leadership in mining capability and KuCoin’s position as a comprehensive hashrate production and allocation hub.
