  Coinbase requires ID verification for cryptocurrency transactions to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. These regulations are in place to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. By verifying the identity of their users, Coinbase can ensure a safer and more secure trading environment for everyone.
