  Absolutely! Just like traditional financial institutions, US legal crypto exchanges are required to follow Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. These regulations aim to prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities. By verifying your identity, the exchange can ensure a safer and more transparent trading environment for everyone involved.
