Vlog: The Role and Importance of KYC in the Crypto Industry

Crypto KYC, or Know Your Customer, is an essential requirement for centralized exchanges to verify the identities of their users. It plays a crucial role in preventing the misuse of cryptocurrencies for money laundering, tax evasion, and other illicit activities.

With the increasing prevalence of fraud and illegal activities in the realm of digital assets, crypto exchanges have become prime targets for criminals. Consequently, governments worldwide have implemented stringent KYC and identity verification regulations.
