    KYC is required for buying and selling cryptocurrencies to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. By verifying the identity of customers, cryptocurrency exchanges can prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. This helps maintain the integrity of the cryptocurrency market and promotes a safer environment for users.

    The requirement of KYC for buying and selling cryptocurrencies is aimed at reducing the risks associated with anonymous transactions. By collecting and verifying customer information, exchanges can establish a level of trust and accountability. This helps protect users from fraudulent activities and enhances the overall security of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
