In a significant move towards bolstering regulatory compliance and enhancing security measures, leading cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin has enforced mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. Effective July 15, this program mandates the completion of KYC verification for all users accessing the platform.
According to the announcement, all users who register on the KuCoin platform on or after July 15 will be required to successfully complete the KYC process in order to unlock comprehensive access to the diverse array of products and services offered by the exchange. This development not only ensures regulatory adherence but also emphasizes kuCoin’s commitment to creating a secure and transparent trading environment for its clientele.
KYC is like showing your ID to use a service. This helps make sure everyone using KuCoin is really who they say they are. It’s a way to make the platform safer and follow the rules that are used around the world.
If you’re new and join KuCoin after July 15th, you’ll have to do the KYC process when you sign up. This will let you access everything KuCoin offers, like trading and services, without any issues. It’s a step to keep the platform secure for everyone.
If you joined KuCoin before July 15th and don’t do the KYC process, some things will change. You will only be able to use services such as Spot trading sell orders, Futures trading deleveraging, Margin trading deleveraging, KuCoin Earn redemption, ETF redemption, and won’t be able to use the deposit service. But don’t worry, you can still take out the money you have.
