  KYC is required for cryptocurrency exchanges to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. By verifying the identity of customers, exchanges can prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. Additionally, KYC helps exchanges build trust with regulators and financial institutions, which is crucial for the long-term sustainability of the cryptocurrency industry.

  KYC is necessary for cryptocurrency exchanges because it helps prevent fraud and enhances security. By collecting and verifying customer information, exchanges can reduce the risk of identity theft, account hacking, and other fraudulent activities. This protects both the exchange and its users from potential financial losses. While KYC may seem inconvenient for some users, it ultimately contributes to a safer and more reliable trading environment.
