  Providing proof of your current address is a common requirement when buying and selling cryptocurrencies. This is done to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. By verifying your address, exchanges can ensure that they are not facilitating illicit activities and can maintain a secure and compliant trading environment.

  Yes, proof of address is typically required by most cryptocurrency exchanges. This is to ensure the safety and security of the platform and its users. By verifying your address, exchanges can mitigate the risk of fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities. It also helps in establishing your identity and preventing unauthorized access to your account.
