    KYC is required for cryptocurrency transactions to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. By verifying the identity of users, it helps prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. Additionally, KYC helps establish trust and transparency in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, making it more attractive to institutional investors and regulators.
