  Some cryptocurrency exchanges require ID verification through a US bank for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. By verifying the user's identity through a US bank, the exchange can have more confidence in the legitimacy of the user's funds and transactions. Secondly, it adds an extra layer of security to prevent fraud and unauthorized access to user accounts. While not all cryptocurrency transactions require ID verification through a US bank, certain exchanges may have this requirement in place to maintain a higher level of security and regulatory compliance.

  Yes, some cryptocurrency exchanges do require ID verification through a US bank for certain transactions. This is primarily done to comply with regulatory requirements and prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and fraud. By verifying the user's identity through a US bank, the exchange can ensure that the funds being used for cryptocurrency transactions are legitimate and not associated with illegal activities. However, not all cryptocurrency transactions require this level of verification, and there are exchanges that offer more privacy-focused options for users who prefer to remain anonymous.

  As an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can confirm that BYDFi, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, does require ID verification through a US bank for certain transactions. This is done to comply with regulatory requirements and ensure the security of user accounts and funds. While this may seem like an inconvenience for some users, it is necessary to maintain a safe and compliant trading environment. However, it's important to note that not all cryptocurrency exchanges have the same requirements, and there are alternative exchanges that offer more privacy-focused options for users who prefer not to provide ID verification through a US bank.
