Long before the increase in popularity of blockchain and crypto-assets, KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) regulations and laws were established in most western nations like the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, as a means to track, identify and possibly incarcerate perpetrators of fraudulent and criminal transactions.
Cryptocurrencies, with its pseudonymity or, in some cases, anonymity, makes it a haven for privacy-driven users as well as those with malicious intent. As a result, regulatory authorities have required the early step of requiring exchanges to provide some form of KYC compliance on their users.
If you love privacy coins and the pseudonymity of most cryptocurrencies, you’ll love the services of cryptocurrency exchanges with no KYC.
In this post, we present our list of top five (5) cryptocurrency exchanges that do not require customers to provide any form of KYC, therefore, keeping you anonymous.
