  Cryptocurrency exchanges require users to provide proof of address as part of their Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures. This is done to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. By verifying the user's address, exchanges can mitigate the risk of facilitating illegal activities and protect their platform from being used for illicit purposes.
