  KYC is required for cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. By verifying the identity of their users, exchanges and wallets can prevent illicit activities such as money laundering, fraud, and terrorist financing. It also helps in creating a more secure and trustworthy environment for users to trade and store their digital assets.
