    KYC verification is necessary for buying and selling cryptocurrencies because it helps to prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. By verifying the identity of users, exchanges can ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and maintain the integrity of the financial system. Additionally, KYC helps to protect users by reducing the risk of fraud and unauthorized transactions.

    Cryptocurrency exchanges require KYC verification to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. These regulations aim to prevent the use of cryptocurrencies for illegal activities and ensure the transparency and accountability of financial transactions. KYC helps exchanges to identify and verify the identity of their users, ensuring that they are not involved in any illicit activities.
