  Yes, utility bills are commonly accepted as valid proof of residence when buying or selling cryptocurrencies. Most cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms require users to verify their identity and provide proof of residence to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. Utility bills, such as electricity, water, or gas bills, are considered reliable documents that prove a person's residential address. However, it's important to note that different exchanges may have different requirements, so it's always a good idea to check the specific guidelines of the platform you're using.
