  As of my knowledge, Kucoin introduced the KYC requirement for account holders in 2018. This move was aimed at strengthening their compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and preventing illicit activities on their platform. Although the KYC process may seem inconvenient for some users, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the exchange and protecting the interests of its users.
