KuCoin Wallet Pushes RWAs Closer to 'One-Click' Trading

The race to make tokenized assets usable is no longer about access — it’s about execution.

KuCoin’s Web3 Wallet has integrated the 1inch Swap API, upgrading how users trade both crypto and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) directly inside a self-custodial wallet.

The focus is clear: remove friction, improve pricing, and make onchain trading feel closer to traditional markets.

From Access to Execution

KuCoin recently expanded into RWAs through its integration with Ondo Global Markets, giving users exposure to tokenized financial products inside the wallet.

This latest move targets the next layer — how those assets are actually traded.

With 1inch powering the backend, users now get:

• Gasless swaps (no need to hold native tokens)

• Deeper liquidity aggregation

• More competitive pricing

• Built-in MEV protection

These aren’t minor upgrades. They address some of the biggest blockers in DeFi: fragmented liquidity, high fees, and front-running risk.

Fixing the Onchain Experience

Trading onchain has historically come with trade-offs — speed vs. cost, access vs. complexity.

This integration is designed to smooth that out.

Instead of navigating multiple DEXs or managing gas tokens, users can execute trades directly inside the wallet with improved pricing and protection against MEV attacks.

“KuCoin Web3 Wallet is built to make self-custody more accessible without compromising security, execution quality, or user trust,” said Gas Meng, Lead of KuCoin Web3 Wallet Operation.

The focus is clear: simplify the experience without sacrificing performance.Why It Matters for RWAs

As tokenized assets move onchain — from treasuries to equities — infrastructure becomes the limiting factor.

Access alone isn’t enough.

If execution is slow, expensive, or risky, adoption stalls.

By combining:

• Ondo’s RWA access

• 1inch’s liquidity routing

• A wallet-native interface

KuCoin is positioning its wallet as a gateway where users can move between crypto and traditional assets without leaving the app.

KuCoin is positioning its wallet as a gateway where users can move between crypto and traditional assets in one place.

“This integration highlights what DeFi does best — combining self-custody with deep liquidity infrastructure. It gives users access to RWAs with seamless execution, no gas fees, and built-in MEV protection. We’re excited to support the continued growth of RWAs onchain,” said Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch.

The Bigger Shift

This reflects a broader trend across the industry: wallets evolving into full financial platforms. Not just storage. Not just swaps. But:

• Trading

• Asset discovery

• Cross-market exposure

All in one place.

For 1inch, the integration extends its reach deeper into wallet infrastructure, bringing its aggregation and pricing engine directly into the user experience.
