With all that is happening in the world, as well as new technologies, many people are turning to cryptocurrency exchanges to invest their money. Considering crypto’s decentralized economy, however, many users have a problem when it comes to KYC.
KYC, aka, know your customer, refers to a cryptocurrency exchange’s obligation to perform certain identity and background checks on its customers before allowing them to use their platform. KYC is used to deter money laundering and other illegal activities that may occur when using crypto exchanges.
