  Cryptocurrency exchanges require KYC information to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. These regulations are in place to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud. By verifying the identity of their users, exchanges can ensure that they are not facilitating illegal activities and can provide a safer trading environment for their customers.
