    Cryptocurrency exchanges typically require KYC verification when users want to deposit or withdraw fiat currency. This is because KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations are in place to prevent money laundering and other illegal activities. By verifying users' identities, exchanges can ensure compliance with these regulations and maintain a secure and trustworthy platform.

    In most cases, cryptocurrency exchanges require KYC verification when users reach a certain threshold of trading volume or when they want to access advanced features like margin trading. This is done to prevent fraud and protect users' funds. KYC verification helps exchanges verify the identity of their users and establish a level of trust between the exchange and the user.
