  Some cryptocurrency wallets require proof of mailing address during the account opening process for security reasons. By verifying the mailing address, the wallet provider can ensure that the user is a real person and not a bot or a scammer. This helps to prevent fraudulent activities and protect the users' funds. Additionally, it also helps the wallet provider comply with regulatory requirements, such as anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations.

By verifying the mailing address, they can reduce the risk of fraud and unauthorized access to the wallet. It also helps them comply with regulatory requirements and maintain a safe and trustworthy platform for their users.
