Looking for No KYC exchanges?
- Are you interested in buying/ trading altcoins without getting into the hassle of answering questions?
- Tired of going through the KYC process over and over again on crypto exchanges?
- Are you looking for options to evade the haggling KYC & AML processes?
If you are, you have come to the right place.
I am going to tell you about a few altcoin exchanges that allow you to trade without going through the KYC and AML checks. Not only this, there are no withdrawal or deposit limits to stop you from buying/selling bags of altcoins.
Needless to say, this will be the norm once the decentralized exchanges increase their market share, which I think is going to take a while.
Tip: It’s better to create a new email account using something like Protonmail, which does not track your activities, and use a browser like Brave or use any no logs VPN to accessing these no KYC exchanges more privately.
Until then, we can use these services, some of which are centralized and some of which are decentralized, to avoid KYC and AML to protect your privacy.

No Kyc Exchanges
I think not requiring AML and KYC will become more mainstream this year because a lot of decentralized exchanges are in the pipeline, which may put the centralized exchanges under pressure to get rid of the KYC requirements.
Also, having AML and KYC goes against the basic tenant of decentralized currencies, which is why we are witnessing the unprecedented development of decentralized infrastructure, which is putting privacy at the forefront.
Well, that is all from my side.
