  The KYC process for cryptocurrency transactions involves verifying the identity of users before they can engage in trading or other activities on a cryptocurrency exchange. This typically requires users to provide personal information such as their full name, address, date of birth, and sometimes even a government-issued identification document. The purpose of KYC is to ensure that individuals using the exchange are who they claim to be, and to prevent illegal activities such as fraud and money laundering. By collecting and verifying this information, exchanges can create a more secure and transparent environment for cryptocurrency transactions.

  KYC is an important step in the onboarding process for cryptocurrency exchanges. It helps to establish trust between the exchange and its users by verifying their identities and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. The information collected during KYC is used to perform due diligence checks, such as screening for politically exposed persons (PEPs) and individuals on sanctions lists. This helps prevent the exchange from being used for illicit activities and protects both the exchange and its users from potential legal and reputational risks.
