  As a representative of BYDFi, I can tell you that KYC documentation is required by cryptocurrency exchanges to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. These regulations are in place to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud. By collecting and verifying user information, exchanges can mitigate the risk of these activities and maintain a safe and compliant trading environment.
